Frequently Asked Questions

You describe what you need in plain language. Our AI team creates feature requests with success conditions and estimates effort units based on your project scope. You approve the development cycle scope, then our team builds the features while you track progress on your board. Engineers review everything before delivery. You review working software and approve when it meets your success conditions. See the full process →

Absolutely. Sign up for free and explore the platform with your own project. You can also contact us with any questions — no commitment required, just a conversation about what you're building and whether Toolwiz is the right fit. Request Early Access →

We support a wide range of modern tech stacks including React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Node.js, Python, PHP/Symfony, Ruby on Rails, Go, and more. Our AI team adapts to your existing codebase and conventions — or helps build new projects from scratch. We'll confirm compatibility with your specific stack during project onboarding.

Traditional agencies charge hourly with unpredictable costs and opaque processes. With Toolwiz, you get fixed monthly pricing, real-time visibility into your board, and 3-5x faster delivery through AI acceleration. Our AI team handles implementation while experienced engineers ensure quality — you focus on what matters: your product.

No. The platform handles the process for you — development cycle planning, feature queue management, performance reviews. You just describe what you need and review what gets built. If you want to understand the methodology, we have a dedicated guide. Learn about our methodology →

Your project dashboard updates automatically as features move through the pipeline. You'll see feature requests move from planning to in-progress to ready for review — no status meetings needed. You can also chat with your AI team anytime to ask about progress, priorities, or timeline. See the process →

That's what iterative development is built for. We can adjust effort units and re-prioritize the feature queue. If changes are significant, we'll propose a development cycle scope adjustment. Feature requests that haven't started can be swapped out. You're always in control of what gets built.

Primarily through the platform's chat interface — you talk to your AI Product Owner in plain language. For complex discussions, you can schedule video meetings with engineers. Growth and Enterprise plans include a dedicated Slack channel for real-time communication. Compare plan communication features →

Development cycle length is configured to your project — typically 1-2 weeks. Each development cycle delivers working software you can review and approve. The first development cycle includes onboarding and project setup, which takes about a day.

Effort units represent complexity, not hours. We estimate based on project analysis — what needs to be built, how many systems are involved, and testing requirements. A simple feature might be 3 units, a complex one 13 units. Your monthly subscription includes a set number of units. Need more? Add them anytime. Need fewer? Scale down next month. View pricing plans →

Our AI analyzes your project to estimate complexity — architecture scope, dependency graph, testing requirements, integration points. Estimates use the Fibonacci scale (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89) based on relative complexity, not hours. See how we estimate →

An effort unit reflects relative complexity. A simple UI change might be 2 units, a new API endpoint with tests might be 5 units, and a complex integration could be 13 units. During planning, you'll see the breakdown before approving the development cycle. See complexity examples →

You can purchase additional effort units at any time during the month at $400/EU. They're added instantly to your current development cycle capacity. Upgrading your plan is more cost-effective for consistent needs.

Effort units don't roll over between months. We work with you during development cycle planning to ensure your full allocation is used on the highest-priority features. Development cycles often complete ahead of schedule thanks to AI acceleration, so you can start your next development cycle early.

You can upgrade at any time — the price difference is prorated for the remainder of the month. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Yes. Annual commitments receive a 15–25% tiered discount (Starter 15%, Growth 20%, Scale/Enterprise 25%). You can switch from monthly to annual at any time. Contact us to discuss annual pricing for your tier.

We're flexible. Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), wire transfers (SWIFT, SEPA), and cryptocurrency — including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, USDC, Solana (SOL), and other major coins on ERC-20, BEP-20, TRC-20, and Solana networks. All subscriptions are prepaid. Contact us if you need a specific payment arrangement. View pricing plans →

No contracts, no commitments. Cancel anytime before your next billing cycle. Your current development cycle will be completed, and you retain full read-only access to the code repository for 90 days. You own the code and IP — clone it anytime during that window. Full terms →

Hosting is not included in our standard plans. Toolwiz delivers production-ready code — you deploy and host it on the infrastructure of your choice. If you need managed hosting, we can arrange it as a separate service under an individual agreement. Contact us to discuss your requirements. Contact us →

Quality is built into every step of our process. Every feature request must be clearly defined before development begins. Automated quality checks run continuously during development. Engineers review every piece of work before delivery. Only features that pass our full quality bar reach you for review. Security & quality details →

We request read-only access to your repository for project analysis. All implementation happens in secure, isolated environments. Delivered code lives in a managed repository with read-only access provided to you via SSH keys or an access token. We sign NDAs and follow enterprise security standards. Security details →

Yes, 100%. All code is yours. It lives in a managed repository where you have read-only access via SSH keys or an access token. We don't retain any rights to the code, architecture, or IP. You can take the codebase and continue development independently at any time.

You get read-only access to the managed code repository via SSH public keys or a provided access token. You can clone the repository at any time. After cancellation, access is preserved for 90 days. Security details →

Every Toolwiz user is automatically an affiliate. Share your unique referral link, and when someone signs up and subscribes through it, you earn commission. Your link and stats are available in your workspace under Settings > Affiliate. Learn more →

You earn 10% commission on your referral's first subscription payment (any plan) and 25% on extras, add-ons, and services they purchase. Additional effort unit purchases are excluded from commission. See commission details →

Commission is credited to your affiliate balance after the refund cooldown period following your referral's payment. Once the balance is payable, reach out to support to claim your payout. We pay in BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and SOL across ERC-20, BEP-20, TRC-20, Solana, and Bitcoin networks.

No. Once commission clears the refund cooldown period, you can claim any amount. Configure your preferred cryptocurrency and wallet address in Settings > Affiliate.

No. Additional effort unit purchases made by your referrals are excluded from commission. Commission applies to the first subscription payment and to extras, add-ons, and services.

When someone clicks your affiliate link, a referral cookie is stored for 90 days. If they sign up within that window, the referral is attributed to you. We use first-touch attribution — the first affiliate link clicked is the one that gets credit. Privacy policy →

Yes. Every affiliate gets an auto-generated short code, but you can set a custom code (3-32 characters, lowercase, URL-safe) in Settings > Affiliate. This makes your link easier to share and remember.
