Frequently asked questions
Can I switch plans at any time?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade from your dashboard whenever you want. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
How does per-machine pricing work?
You're billed for each server that has the Tink agent installed and active. Remove a server to stop billing for it. Scout is always free for one machine.
Is there a free trial for paid plans?
Scout is free forever for one machine. For Mechanic or Crew Chief, start with Scout to see how Tink works, then upgrade when you're ready.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards via Stripe. We support USD billing with invoices available from your dashboard.
What happens if I exceed my AI message limit?
Scanning and alerting continue normally. AI-powered diagnosis and conversation features pause until the limit resets at the start of the next month, or you upgrade your plan.
How does Rescue checkout work?
Rescue is a $29 one-time card payment — not a free script. Click Run Rescue Now to create an account or sign in, then Stripe Checkout opens immediately. After payment you get an emergency diagnostic session with autonomous execution.
