Buy us a coffee ☕Common questions
Yes. The open-source version (pixelbuddy.js on GitHub) is MIT licensed and free forever. Self-host it, configure it via window.BUDDY_CONFIG, and use it on any number of sites. The paid plans add the dashboard, analytics, and remote config.
You keep access until the end of your billing period. After that the dashboard and CDN script stop working, but you can always switch to the self-hosted open-source version.
No. Once the script tag is on your page, every change you make in the dashboard goes live automatically — no redeployment, no code changes.
The open-source version shows a small "Pixel Buddy" badge in the corner. It's injected via Shadow DOM and a MutationObserver, so it can't be removed with CSS or by deleting the element. Pro and Enterprise plans remove it.
The open-source version is free forever, so you can run Pixel Buddy on your site at no cost before going Pro. Paid plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime.
