Whats the deal with plandex cloud and $10/$20-mo? The github repo README devolves into a cloud pitch halfway through. I thought this was a local binary talking to openAI? I thought this was open source?


Hi, it’s open source and it also has a cloud option. You can either self-host or use cloud—it’s up to you.

The CLI talks to the Plandex server and the server talks to OpenAI.


but i still don't get what the cloud option would be doing that's worth $20/mo if it's talking to openAI. Does the plandex server have large resource requirements?


The server does quite a bit. Most of the features are covered here: https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex/blob/main/guides/USAGE...

I actually did start out with just the CLI running locally, but it reached a point I needed a database and thus a client-server model to get it all working smoothly. I also want to add sharing and collaboration features in the future, and those require a client-server model.
