Pricing
Observe for free.
Pay for control.
Observation is free. No seats to count, no trial clock.
Pay only for Control as one subscription: attribution, policy and rollout controls, scoped together.
01 · How pricing works
Three things worth knowing
Observation costs nothing. Control is priced on the work your agents do. No configurators, no tiers to decode.
Observation is included
Spotlight, our session reporting tool, installs in a minute. Reports are included for anyone using AI to do their work, the teams around them, and the org above them. No seats to count, no trial clock.
Get Spotlight freeControl is the subscription
Control is the part you pay for: attribution, policy, volume and rollout controls. The cost follows the agent work you put under policy, not the number of people you employ.

Narrow access by design. Secrets and PII are scrubbed before anything leaves your machine, with zero retention at the model layer.

03 · Questions
Fair questions, straight answers
What is included, exactly?
Everything above: Spotlight installs in a minute and the reports are included, for individuals, the teams they work with, and the org-wide view across all of them. No seats to count, no trial clock. The subscription adds Control: attribution, policy, volume and rollout controls.
What determines the subscription price?
The agent work you put under control: how much of it there is, and how much of it you want governed. Not a seat count. We set the number against your baseline and revisit it each year against what actually changed.
Can we start with one team?
Yes, and you can start today without talking to us: anyone can install free and the team reads its own reports. The org agreement starts when you want to act on what you see, not just see it.
How do we know it is working?
By the numbers you bought it for: agent work under policy, risks surfaced and cleared, rollout coverage across teams. They are in the same reports everyone else reads, so the answer is not a slide we bring to renewal. If the work grows, the cost follows it. If it does not, it does not.
What about access and compliance?
Control covers SSO, role-based access, team management, support and an SLA. Not all of it has shipped yet, so ask where each piece stands and we will tell you straight, along with our security documentation.
What will procurement need?
An annual agreement, our security documentation, and a DPA. How we handle your data is public on the trust page, and we answer everything else directly.
