Sephir vs Sider.

AI sidebar built on a proprietary credit pool with daily caps. ~5M weekly users. Below: what Sider users actually say, and how Sephir is built around the opposite incentives.

From Sider’s Chrome Web Store reviews

What real users actually said.

  • 'No free version' — deceptive advertising in the listing.
  • Daily / monthly limits hit fast, then you pay again for tokens you already pay your provider for.
  • Sign-in required just to test the basics; auto-renew charges trigger refund disputes.
  • Their own AI traffic gets prioritised over the OpenAI/Anthropic key you bring.

How Sephir is different

Built around the opposite incentives.

  • 01Free tier is really free — BYOK is the default, not a buried Pro feature.
  • 02Nothing to re-bill — your provider tokens flow direct, Sephir never sits between you and them.
  • 03Lifetime price ladder ($39 → $79 → $99) locks in what you pay today, forever.
  • 04Refund button on the account page via Polar — no support thread to negotiate.
