Pricing — planned tiers

Planned pricing

Four tiers we plan to offer. Soft cap at 80% (we email you), hard cap at 100% (we queue your jobs, not charge you). Cancel any time.

2026-05 statusNo billing system is wired today. There is no Stripe integration, no checkout, no subscription enforcement. Use the operator at /admin/factory free of charge while we’re still building. The tiers below describe what we plan to charge once billing lands. Don’t pay anyone advertising these prices on our behalf.

Frequently asked questions

Don’t see your question? Email [email protected].

What counts as a "builder job"?+

One end-to-end run: prompt → manifest → code generation → build → verify → artifact. If verification fails and the system auto-retries internally, that still counts as one job. Cancelled jobs aren't billed.

What's an "AI call" in the quota?+

One round-trip to a model provider through our gateway — including planner calls, codegen calls, repair calls, and interview chat turns. We expose per-call cost in the Trace tab so you can see exactly where your quota went.

Do I have to use my own OpenAI/Anthropic API keys?+

No. The managed multi-model gateway is shared across tiers. BYO keys are supported today via /admin/factory/settings/api-keys — provider bills then flow directly to your Anthropic / OpenAI / etc. account. Pro / Team / Enterprise tier-specific BYO gating is planned.

What happens when I hit a quota?+

Soft cap at 80% (email warning) and hard cap at 100% (jobs queue rather than overage-billing) are the planned Pro+ model — no quota system is wired today because Pro / Team / Enterprise haven't shipped. Auto-upgrade is on the roadmap for the Settings → Billing surface (which itself is planned).

How do bridge minutes work?+

Bridge minutes are wall-clock time spent on the Linux build node during code generation, compile-fix, and launch verification. A typical web build takes 4-12 bridge minutes including npm install, next build, server launch, and the POST + GET smoke. The desktop / mobile bridges are roadmap (per ADR 0008) — no bridge-minute cost is quoted there until they ship verified runs.

Can I cancel any time?+

Hobby tier is free with no commitment. Pro / Team / Enterprise tiers are planned — no billing system is wired yet, so there is nothing to cancel from. When billing ships, the intended model is month-to-month with no early-termination fee.

Is there a free trial?+

There is no paid trial because the paid tiers don't ship yet — Pro / Team / Enterprise are planned. Hobby tier is free and usable today with no credit card. When paid tiers ship the intended model is a 14-day full-access trial; until then, the public demo at /factory#demo and the Hobby tier are the entry points.

Do you offer education / nonprofit / open-source pricing?+

Not yet a formal program. Hobby tier is free today. When paid tiers ship, a 50%-off path for verified education / nonprofits / OSS is on the roadmap — write to [email protected] if you fit one of these segments today and we will track you as a launch customer.

Is my data used to train AI models?+

No. Our DPA at /factory/dpa governs data use; OpenAI and Anthropic Zero-Data-Retention enrollment is in progress on our gateway path. Your prompts and generated code are never used for training. Prompts and outputs are retained only for the artifact retention window — see /factory/privacy.

Can I self-host the factory?+

Not yet. A first-party docker-compose / Terraform self-host story is on the roadmap (ADR 0008). The generated workspaces ARE plain Next.js + libSQL — you can host those anywhere Next.js runs (Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Docker, your own server) — but the factory itself does not yet ship a self-host bundle.

What's "priority support" mean exactly?+

Response-time commitments (Pro within 4 business hours, Team within 1 business hour, Enterprise 30 minutes 24/7) are targets on planned tiers — no contract is signable today because billing is not wired. On Hobby (the only live tier), support is best-effort via email and GitHub Discussions.

Do you have an SLA?+

99.9% uptime SLA on Team and Enterprise tiers (service credits for breaches) — these tiers are planned, not signable today. Hobby and Pro are best-effort. /factory/status shows live component status (bridges, API, proof page). Automated 90-day uptime tracking is on the roadmap; we do not yet publish a measured-uptime number.

Start building today

Hobby tier is free today. Pro / Team / Enterprise are planned — when billing ships, the intended model is a 14-day full-access trial with no credit card. Until then, Hobby + the public demo are the entry points.
