What can I do without an account?
Check the published record for an exact model and route, read the public source coverage catalog, run the GitHub Action, and follow the public lifecycle feeds as JSON Feed, RSS, or a calendar. None of that needs sign-in, a code upload, or a provider key. Declaring a stack needs a free account.
What does the free account include?
A Stack of up to five declared models with the retirement date for your route where a source publishes one, alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days of runway, and the optional morning Brief: up to five confirmed changes on qualifying mornings, with seven issue dates of history. No card is required.
What changes when I choose Pro?
Pro records all five kinds of change against up to 100 declarations, opens the complete included Feed and history, and adds the Reviews: compatibility findings, cost scenarios, workload comparisons, migration packets, and candidate checks. Notifications go to email, Slack, Discord, or signed webhooks, and the Event API and remote MCP expose the same records.
Is there a team plan?
Not as a separate price yet. Project spaces, review owners, and scoped roles ship with the current roadmap and arrive inside Pro first, so a colleague can own a review and a client can receive a report. If you are buying for a team, tell us what you need and it will shape the offer.
Does Radar edit my code, run my tests, or change traffic?
No. The hosted workflows read published evidence and record your review state. The Stack exporter and the Promptfoo exporter run on your machine and upload only the metadata you select. A change suggestion is a download for manual review; the optional GitHub Action opens a pull request only when you enable it.
What if my model or route is not covered?
Missing evidence stays unknown. A notice for a provider’s direct API does not transfer to Bedrock, Vertex, or Azure; each route needs its own published record, and the same model can carry three different dates. A missing retirement date never means a model is safe indefinitely. The coverage catalog shows where sources stop.
How does the seven-day trial work?
Eligible new customers can start a seven-day Pro trial with a card on file. Radar checks eligibility and shows the renewal price and first charge date before you reach Stripe. Returning or previously trialed accounts may be charged immediately; the order review states the timing. Cancel from the billing page at any time.
Does signing in subscribe me to email?
No. Sign-in and email preferences are separate. The Brief and Pro notifications are each an explicit opt-in with their own unsubscribe, and saving your work does not enroll you in anything. Quiet days produce no email at all, because Radar sends only when a qualifying change exists.
Can my agent or CI pipeline use Radar?
Yes. Remote MCP works over OAuth with an API-key fallback: public tools are open to any connection, and private tools appear for active Pro accounts. The Event API pulls a replayable stream with stable IDs and corrections. Downloadable packages include a GitHub Action and client recipes; write actions stay separate, explicit choices.
What happens to my history if I stop paying?
Eligible saved history stays readable after paid access ends: cost scenarios, workload comparisons, migration packets, and review records within each workflow’s cutoff. You can read and download them but cannot create or change paid records. Reading saved history is not continued access to new evidence, and legacy Watch subscriptions keep their existing rights.
