Accounts & Plans

Dynamo runs on a Dynamo Engine account. Your subscription covers the product; the AI itself is bring-your-own — provider API keys or your existing Claude/Grok subscription — billed by your provider, separately.

Do I Need an Account?

Yes. Dynamo requires a signed-in Dynamo Engine account with an active subscription or trial. New accounts start a 30-day Personal trial — no charge until it ends.

What the account covers vs. what your provider covers:

• ●Dynamo Engine subscription — the product: the CLI, the desktop app, the Unity integration, updates, and your device seats.
• ●Your AI provider — model usage. You pay Anthropic / OpenAI / Google / etc. directly with your own key, or use local models via Ollama for free. Dynamo doesn't mark up or resell AI usage.

Signing In

The desktop app signs you in on first launch. From inside Dynamo:

/login      # start the sign-in flow
/logout     # sign out on this device
/whoami     # show who you're signed in as and your current plan
/subscribe  # open the plans page

Or from your shell:

dynamo login
dynamo logout
dynamo whoami
dynamo subscribe

Devices & Seats

Dynamo seats are device-based — each machine you sign in on registers as a device under your license (Personal includes 3). Manage them from the CLI:

dynamo account devices              # list registered devices (marks this one)
dynamo account devices revoke <id>  # revoke a specific device
dynamo account portal               # open your customer portal in the browser

Use account devices revoke to free up a seat when you stop using a machine, then sign in on the new one.

Billing

dynamo account portal opens your hosted customer portal, where you can update payment details, cancel or resume your subscription, and review invoices. The same portal is reachable from your account page.
