FAQs

What is the difference between the free and paid versions of TLDR?

The free version of TLDR offers limited API credits for code explanations, allowing users to get started. Paid versions for individuals and organizations provide gracefully rate-limited access, meaning higher usage limits, along with email or priority email support.

Which IDEs does TLDR support?

Currently, TLDR is available as a plugin for JetBrains IDEs. The developers are actively working on adding support for other integrated development environments in the future to expand its compatibility.

How accurate are the code explanations provided by TLDR?

The AI behind TLDR is still in beta, so while it generally provides accurate explanations, it may not always understand code correctly. The accuracy is continuously improving, and features that don't work today might be supported in the future.
