Pricing that grows
with you.

Free while it's a side project. Pro when it grows into a product. Team when you bring people on to build it. You only pay as you step up to the next stage, never to use what's already yours.

The honest answers

Do you meter my reads or searches?

No. Search and retrieval are unlimited on every plan, including Free. There's no per-query or per-token charge for working with your own knowledge. The only thing we meter is the assistant, since it runs a frontier chat model for you.

What counts as a private project?

Any project that isn't world-readable. Free includes one private project; Pro makes them unlimited. Public projects, readable by anyone and writable only by members, are unlimited on every plan.

What happens when I hit my assistant monthly limit?

It pauses and tells you rather than cutting you off mid-conversation. Your turns pick back up when the day or month resets, or the moment you upgrade. On Free, turns are also spread across the month, up to 40 a day. Pro raises the cap to 1,500 turns/mo; Team pools 5,000 across members.

Is the CLI, plugin, and SDK free?

Yes, forever. The CLI, the plugin, and the SDK are free on every plan. Paid plans add hosted convenience and private capacity on top, never access to the core.

Why is Team worth it over buying Pro seats?

Team-only value: a pooled assistant budget, roles + an audit log, cross-project search, and a dedicated support relationship. If all you need is more private projects, Pro is the right call.

It starts free.

Public projects, real search, and a capped-but-real assistant. No card, no trial clock. Upgrade the day you need to keep something private.
