How much is mycodebase worth?

Paste a private GitHub repo for an instant estimate, or evaluate it fully locally from your terminal. If it is a fit, choose whether to continue.

Private repo access is required

Estimated prices only

Fully local CLI

No upload or telemetry.

View CLI

Fully local option

Evaluate without uploading.

The standalone CLI inspects code, Git history, engineering signals, and local review risks on your machine. It makes no network requests, sends no telemetry, uploads zero bytes, and never executes repository code while evaluating.

Installation and updates download a checksum-verified executable. Opening onboarding or a meeting later is a separate, optional network action. Local results are informational, nonbinding, and not offers.

How it works

Estimate, then decide.

Paste a private repo for a baseline value. If it looks worth a manual review, unlock intake. Until then, the preview is not saved.

  1. 01Estimate

    See a baseline value before intake.

  2. 02Intake

    Unlock only if review feels worth it.

  3. 03Manual review

    We check access, fit, and demand.

  4. 04Offer

    Accept only if the final terms work.

Preview not saved:
No URL, score, estimate, or submission before intake
Selected access:
Private repos use selected GitHub App access
You stay in control:
A final offer is optional

FAQ

Before you unlock an offer.

Clear answers on estimates, repo access, review, payouts, and what happens once a codebase enters the queue.

Estimate a repo

  1. What happens to my codebase?

    We review the repo and, if it qualifies, negotiate licenses with AI labs for model training, evaluation, or coding-agent work. We are not buying the SaaS business; we are matching real engineering work with lab demand.

    Review

  2. Is unlocking an offer a sale?

    No. Unlocking starts a review, not a sale. Ownership stays with you unless a final offer is made, you accept it, and payment clears.

  3. What gets saved when I get an estimate?

    Estimate previews are not saved. We do not store the repo URL, estimate, score, language breakdown, or submission record until you complete the offer-unlock intake.

    Privacy

  4. What makes a codebase valuable?

    Strong code usually has real product history: private failed-startup repos, internal tools, shipped systems, tests, integrations, domain logic, and maintenance. Tiny demos, forks, course projects, boilerplate, and mostly generated repos usually do not pass review.

    Fit

  5. Can I submit private repos?

    Yes. Sign in with GitHub, grant selected-repo access, and we verify that you control the repo and can sell or license it before anything moves forward.

    Access

  6. How are payouts determined?

    No fixed rate is published. If a lab buys a submitted codebase, your payout is a percentage of that sale. Some submissions never sell. The estimate is a baseline line-count preview; a real offer exists only after we close a lab sale, and you can accept or decline it.

    Payout

  7. Can I add more codebases later?

    Yes. Use the dashboard as a portfolio queue: unlock one repo, return with the next, and track every review from the same place.
