Pricing · what you actually pay for
Committed consumption for verified execution.
The open layer is free and Apache 2.0. The platform is metered by verified decisions — you pay for the outcome you trusted, not the inference behind it. Enterprise is contracted, single-tenant, with signed SLAs. One pricing model, scaled to where you are.
01 · How you pay
Two metered doors. Open source under them. Contracts when you need them.
Both self-serve doors — Gateway and Edge — bill the same way: free trial credits, then per verified decision. They are priced to the surface, because a decision that moves a robot is not worth the same as a software action. The open layer beneath is free and needs no account; Enterprise and Sovereign are contracted engagements you arrange with us, not rungs on a ladder.
Apache 2.0 — no account
The Open Intent taxonomy, the OpenClaw openshell-adapter, the @intended-inc/sdk, and the operator CLI. Self-host, fork, contribute, verify a sealed token offline. Not a plan — the free foundation everything else sits on.
5,000 decisions free, then $0.0025 each
Agents acting on your software — deploys, refunds, data access, tickets. LIM-backed interpretation, Ed25519 token minting, the hash-linked audit chain, every managed connector. Add a card: your first 5,000 verified decisions are free, then $0.0025 each. Denied and escalated decisions are always free. Sign up and go.
500 decisions free, then $0.05 each
Agents acting in the world — robots, cobots, AGVs, drones — verified at the edge before the actuator moves. Same metering, priced to the stakes: your first 500 verified decisions are free, then $0.05 each (denied and escalated free). In beta — join as a design partner for early credits and discounted rates.
Contracted or air-gapped
Isolated single-tenant control plane, your own signing keys, SOC 2 audit prep, signed SLAs, on-prem / private-cloud, committed volume — or a fully air-gapped Sovereign deployment where no action data leaves your boundary. A conversation and a contract, not a checkout.
02 · The metering model
The billable unit is a verified decision.
A verified decision is one authority verdict that resulted in an Authority Token being minted and redeemed at a connector — a real action you let through and can prove. That is the unit you pay for. It is not per-token, not per-inference, and not per-seat, because none of those map to value: a thousand denied attempts are a thousand things that didn’t happen, and you shouldn’t be billed for safety.
03 · Always included
The guarantees don’t move with the price.
Fail-closed enforcement, Ed25519-signed consent, and an immutable audit chain are not premium add-ons. They are the product. The metered plan and every contract ship with them — what differs is isolation, deployment, and support, never whether the safety property holds.
Fail-closed, everywhere
No token, no action — verified in the target system, not by us. The invariant is identical from the free SDK to a dedicated single-tenant deployment.
Portable audit chain
Hash-linked, WORM, cryptographically signed and replayable. Per-tenant public-key (JWKS) verification is live. Export it and hand it to an auditor — free SDK, metered plan, or contract.
Open layer underneath
The taxonomy and clients are Apache 2.0. You can rebuild enforcement against the open standard if you ever leave.
04 · What you do not pay for
Denied decisions are free.
If verification fails, no token is issued and nothing executes — and you are not billed. You do not pay per classification, per policy evaluation, or per seat. The thing you bought is the verified outcome, not the inference. That alignment is deliberate: it means we only make money when we let through an action you were right to trust.
