# Frostbyte > Frostbyte is the product workspace for software teams and their AI coding agents, like Claude Code and Codex. It keeps tasks, releases, customer feedback and decisions in one plan. Frostbyte models work around four concepts: projects, releases, areas, and tasks. The active release is the unit of "what we're shipping next" — the backlog is a holding area for unscoped ideas, not a work queue. Free, Indie and Studio are flat per account (not per seat), so adding collaborators doesn't change the cost. Built and maintained by Sky Enterprises (Australia). Used internally to build Frostbyte itself. ## Key product features - Releases as a first-class planning unit - Areas — logical groupings of product work (auth, billing, onboarding, etc.) - Tasks with priority, status, area, and release assignment - User Signals — one review queue for bug reports, ideas and feedback, whether users send them or you capture them - Feedback Portal and embeddable widget — public intake that lands in Signals, with an optional public roadmap and changelog - What's Next — one ranked queue of the tasks and new signals to look at next - GitHub integration — links commits and PRs to tasks automatically - MCP server and agent plugin — let Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients read and update project data - CSV import/export, PDF export - Real-time updates via Socket.IO ## Pricing See [pricing.md](/pricing.md) for the structured machine-readable version. - Free — forever-free, 1 project, 250 tasks, 2 open releases per project, 15 AI credits/month, agent connection (MCP server and plugins) - Indie / Studio / Business — paid tiers with higher project and task limits, more AI credits, and additional integrations - Flat pricing on Free, Indie and Studio — collaborators don't increase the bill.
