Plans and packages
What each tier includes, what a run costs, and how checkout works.
Two things can pay for a run: a monthly allowance from a paid package, or credit from your wallet. They are checked in that order, so a subscriber only touches credit once the month's allowance is used up.
The packages
| Package | What you get |
|---|---|
| Free | $1.00 of credit, granted once. No card, no expiry, and no feature restrictions; roughly three real runs. |
| Starter, $9/month | 40 runs a month. For one engineer shipping a module at a time. |
| Pro, $20/month | 100 runs a month. For daily RTL work across whole projects. |
| Team, $100/month | 1,000 runs a month. For a hardware team sharing one workflow. |
Beyond the monthly allowance, every paid tier bills overage at $0.85 per run, taken from credit. That means a busy month never stops your work; it just draws on the wallet.
What counts as a run
A run is one dispatched piece of real work. Not every message is one, which matters because the cheap ones would otherwise eat your allowance:
| Action | Counts against the allowance? |
|---|---|
| Authoring a module from scratch | Yes |
| Editing an existing project | Yes |
| Generating, testing or verifying in the staged pipeline | Yes |
| Asking a question about a module or a project | No, billed as a cheap call |
| Clarifying questions before a Plan-mode run | No, billed as a cheap call |
Note
Tools do not add runs. A generation with Web Search, Knowledge Base, Auto-Verify and Reflection all switched on is still one run; it just takes longer.
Buying a package
- 1
Open Billing & usage
From the sidebar, or from the pricing page if you are signed in.
- 2
Pick a package
You are taken to Stripe's hosted checkout; we never see your card.
- 3
Pay
You come back to the billing page, which says it is confirming rather than saying it is done.
- 4
Wait a moment
Activation is driven by Stripe telling us the payment succeeded, not by the redirect. It usually takes a second or two. Refresh if the page still shows the old plan.
A package shown as Unavailable is not configured for purchase on this deployment; contact support rather than trying repeatedly.
Changing or cancelling
Manage subscription on the billing page opens Stripe's customer portal, where you can change your card, change package or cancel. A cancellation runs to the end of the period you already paid for; the billing page says so while that is pending.
If a payment fails, the page shows a past-due notice and your allowance stops. Updating the card in the portal restores it.
Where the prices come from
What a run costs to serve varies with the work: roughly $0.28 from scratch, $0.37 on a project, and about $0.06 for a quick question — a blended $0.34. Plans are not a fixed markup on that figure. Each tier is priced for the kind of month it is meant to cover, which is why the rate per included run falls as the tiers get larger. Overage, at $0.85 per run from credit, is the one price set directly from cost.
