No seats. No minimums. You pay for parses that survive production.
Two real numbers: $0.001 for every VLM-ready parse (The Steady Hand), $0.20 every time the Flight Recorder escalates a stuck run to a human. Everything else — credits, dashboards, SDK — is free.

faq
common questions
- What exactly is a 'parse'?
- One call to parseUi() — we re-render the current DOM into a Set-of-Mark image, stamp durable IDs onto interactive elements, and return both. That's the only thing metered.
- Why charge for human labels?
- When the Gatekeeper proves a run is stuck (3× identical DOM hash or repeating action cycle), the screenshot is queued to a trained annotator. They label the correct next action in 78s median. You're billed $0.20 only when the label is accepted — auto-refunded otherwise.
- Can I cap my spend?
- Yes. Every account has a hard ceiling. Free accounts can never go below $0. Paid accounts set an auto-refill ceiling — once hit, the SDK fails closed with a typed error code, not a surprise bill.
- Do credits expire?
- No. Top-ups never expire as long as the account is active.
- Is there a free trial of Enterprise?
- We run a 14-day pilot on a shared worker with your SLA targets attached. Contact sales — we'll scope it on a call.
