Hyrax is free. Connect a repo, run a mini audit, and start shipping fixes. That line appears across hyrax.dev because it describes the actual entry point, not a trial with a timer on it. This article covers what the free plan includes and what happens at each step.
The first thing the free plan includes is the mini audit. Hyrax reads the connected repo and comes back with findings: real issues in the code, each tied to a file and line, each explained in plain language. The mini audit is a scoped version of the full audit that paid plans run, and it exists so a team can judge the quality of the findings on code they actually know.
The second thing is the monthly allowance: five findings and five fixes monthly. A finding is an issue Hyrax surfaces. A fix is what happens when a developer accepts one: Hyrax writes the change and submits a pull request. Tests, build, and lint have to pass first, and fixes never merge automatically. The developer reviews the pull request and decides whether it ships.
Five and five sounds small next to the number of issues a large codebase carries, and that is the point. The free plan is not meant to clear a backlog. It is meant to answer the question that matters before any tool earns a place in the workflow: does it find things worth fixing, and are the fixes good enough to merge? Five real pull requests against a real repo answer that better than any demo.
Starting takes a few steps. Create an account, connect a repo, and run the mini audit. There is no card required to do any of that. The findings arrive in the dashboard, and the first fix can be dispatched the same day.
A note on what the free plan does not change: the safety model is the same one paid teams get. Every fix arrives as a pull request, every pull request has to pass tests, build, and lint before a reviewer sees it, and nothing merges without a human approving it. The free plan limits how much work Hyrax does each month, not how carefully it does the work.
For teams that want more than the monthly five, paid plans raise the limits and add the deeper audit. Pricing lives at hyrax.dev/pricing. The fastest way to evaluate Hyrax is to let it read a real codebase and submit a real pull request, and the free plan covers exactly that.
