Fireball Sidecar

A little help goes a long way.

A quick answer. A useful draft. One less small task on your list. Sidecar is your affordable AI companion for everyday work, right where you need it across chat, VS Code, your phone and Fireball Designer.

Free to start. Bronze is included with Designer Pro and Commercial, or $5 a month on its own.

The right help for the job

Small tasks with Sidecar. Bigger plans with your AI of choice.

YOUR EVERYDAY COMPANION

Keep the little things moving.

Sidecar is built for short, focused jobs you can review and move on from.

  • Ask a question or turn rough notes into a useful draft.
  • Write an issue or help with a routine repository update in VS Code.
  • Explain a design error or make a small change in Designer.

Already on Designer Pro or Commercial? Sidecar Bronze comes with your plan, at no extra charge.

BRING YOUR OWN ASSISTANT

Give bigger work more room.

For sustained coding, complex projects or a longer working session, use your preferred AI assistant with Fireball’s native MCP connections.

MCP is the connection that lets a compatible assistant, such as Claude Code or Codex, use tools inside Designer or Wrangler. You choose what to connect and share.

Your external assistant has its own account, billing and limits. A Fireball bundle does not include those subscriptions.

A small-task budget, used thoughtfully.

Sidecar can help with larger tasks, but extended coding, long conversations and repeated tool calls can use Credits quickly. It is designed for lightweight assistance, rather than all-day autonomous development. Higher plans add allowance; they do not make usage unlimited.

Priced for where you actually are

Three kinds of people use this, and most pricing pages only serve one of them.

Hobbyist

$0 — then $5

Free gets you 5,000 Credits a month and every model. Bronze offers 20,000 Credits for $5 a month.

Small business

$20 / month

90,000 Credits a month and more room for everyday work. Usage limits still apply, and larger jobs can spend the allowance quickly.

Bigger teams

Up to 40% off at volume

Seats, central billing and admin controls, with volume pricing on the Designer line. Compare plans and choose online.

A small business shouldn’t pay enterprise prices to make something good. Under 10 employees you sell what you make on any paid plan — no revenue cap, no licence upgrade, no asking permission. Designer’s Commercial tier applies to businesses with 10+ employees, so a small shop can choose the tools it needs without moving to an enterprise plan.

Nothing here traps you

Try a setup. If it is wrong, change it. We would rather you found the right plan than stayed on the wrong one because leaving was annoying.

Up or down, any time

Move between tiers whenever you like. No minimum term, no downgrade fee, no call with anyone. Billing prorates.

An organization for your people

Friends, a club or a growing business can use the same organization structure. The owner handles billing; members use individual logins. Account conversion explains how ownership of your existing work changes.

Credits keep

Extra Credits never expire and survive a plan change. Nothing you paid for evaporates because you moved.

Better with Designer

Designer Pro and Commercial already include Sidecar Bronze for everyday help. Ask for a focused change or help understanding a tool. Designer exposes 315 tools, so the help happens in your project. Need more allowance? Choose a higher Sidecar bundle; the Designer line is $5 a month off.

Designer Pro $25 / monthSidecar Gold $20 / month$40 / month bundled
