Got this question 5 times today, so let me just answer it once properly.

Yes. Free forever. After 10 years too. No trial countdown. No "free for 90 days then surprise." No card needed to start
.

"But how? What's the business model?"

Your agent runs on a small container on our infrastructure. costs us cents per free user per month. The free tier limits (100 tasks, daily crons, 1 agent) keep that cost predictable.

Today, Stride was recognized as a Featured Product on Product Hunt and finished among the top products of the day.

We're incredibly grateful.
To everyone who explored the product, upvoted, left feedback, challenged our thinking, shared the launch, or simply took the time to learn what we're building thank you.
What started as a simple frustration became Stride.
Software teams have more tools than ever before, yet execution remains fragmented.
Requirements live in one place.
Architecture in another.
Tickets somewhere else.
Tests, releases, documentation, and AI conversations scattered across the stack.
We built Stride around a simple belief:
Execution works better when context stays connected.
Today's launch wasn't the finish line. It was the beginning of a much larger conversation with builders, product teams, engineers, and organizations looking for a better way to move from idea to delivery.
A special thank you to everyone who supported us throughout the launch and to the Product Hunt community for the thoughtful discussions and feedback.

#69 out of 1300+ launched the same day, which happened to be a Vercel Ventures sponsored day. Traffic was the best detectly's had so far, 100+ unique visits in 24 hours.

Honestly the conversations were the highlight. Had some genuinely good back and forth with other founders and a couple of people who really know fleet safety and insurance, asking sharp questions about driver coaching and the reactive vs proactive gap. That's shaping the roadmap more than any ranking will.

If you upvoted, commented, or just had a look, I appreciate it. Still time to check it out if you haven't.

Also follow the LinkedIn page if you want the regular updates on how this is going, that's where most of the build in public stuff lives.
