# Pricing

Pick a hosted plan by team size and scale — every plan bundles seats, hosted
storage, retained projects and runs, and monthly metric-point and API request
allowances.

## Plans at a glance

| Plan | Price | Seats | Hosted storage | Best for |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Free | $0 / workspace / month | 2 | 2 GiB | Evaluating InstantML and solo experiments |
| Pro | $199 / workspace / month | 3 | 1 TiB | Small teams tracking real training workloads |
| Premium | $699 / workspace / month | 10 | 5 TiB | Larger teams that need scale or customer-owned storage |

For the full numbers — retained projects and runs, monthly metric-point and
API request allowances, rate limits, overage pricing, and reset behavior — see
[Pricing, limits, and billing](/docs/guides/pricing-limits-billing.md), the
authoritative reference page.

## What every plan includes

- Included seats and hosted artifact storage.
- Retained project and run capacity.
- A monthly metric-point allowance.
- A monthly API request allowance, plus short-window API rate limits.
- The full dashboard: Runs workspace, Compare, Run Detail, reports, and
  usage/limit visibility in Settings.

## How billing works

InstantML never bills tracked training hours in v1 — you pay for seats and
usage, not wall-clock training time.

Overage is explicit rather than surprising. On paid plans, hosted storage and
API requests over the included allowance are metered through Stripe; Free and
non-billable workspaces are blocked at their monthly API request allowance
instead of being charged. Extra seats cost $99 per seat per month through
billing.

Where billing shows up in the product:

- Signup selects Free, Pro, or Premium.
- Paid signup redirects through Stripe Checkout before writes and SDK key
  creation are unlocked.
- Settings shows plan, usage, rate limits, seats, storage accounting, and
  billing controls.
- The topbar plan badge mirrors the highest pressure among metric points,
  storage, and API requests.

## Seats and workspaces

Included seats apply to team workspaces. Personal workspaces stay single-owner
even when their plan has a larger included-seat pool — create a team workspace
when you want invitations and shared seats.

## Premium storage options

Premium teams can keep everything on InstantML-hosted storage, or route tenant
product data (runs, metrics, and metadata) to customer-owned self-hosted GCP
ClickHouse. Artifact bytes remain on InstantML-hosted object storage either
way. See [Customer-owned ClickHouse](/docs/guides/customer-owned-clickhouse.md) for
setup and accounting details.

## Enterprise and custom

Enterprise/custom terms are reserved for SSO/SAML, VPC or self-hosted
deployment, custom retention, compliance, dedicated support, and unusually
heavy data footprints.
