Pricing

We don't bill you per user or per branch, our pricing model is designed around providing you with the capacity you need for every agent to run its own isolated Postgres branch without multiplying your storage and compute costs.

Give your agent our pricing context

Feed pricing.md to your agent for a complete, machine-readable pricing reference.
