Control plane · Founder cohort open

Spend caps. Permissions. Audit.

Most agent stacks optimise for demos. This is the layer that stops runaway token burn, blocks send/spend without approval, and leaves a trail when something fails. Founder pricing locks forever for the first 100.

Rate locked at signup
Your cohort rate never changes. Join at $49 — pay $49 in month 1 and month 100. No mid-cycle price bumps.
Cancel anytime
No contracts. Cancel on your dashboard and billing stops at the end of the period. Your cohort slot is preserved if you rejoin within 30 days.
100-seat hard cap on Founder
The Founder cohort closes at 100 — enforced at the database layer. Spot 101 automatically rolls into Wave 2 at $99/mo.

Questions, answered

The honest ones. No marketing fluff.

Why does the price go up the later I join?

Early builders take more risk and help pressure-test the product. Cohort pricing is how we reward that. Founder pays $49/mo forever. Wave 2 pays $99/mo forever. Standard pays $149/mo. Same product — the only variable is when you joined.

What happens if Founder fills while I'm checking out?

The cohort ledger uses a database-level seat check at payment confirmation. If slot 100 goes before your payment clears, you're auto-enrolled in Wave 2 at $99/mo and notified immediately. No surprises.

Can I upgrade from Starter to Founder while there are spots left?

Yes — as long as a Founder spot is available. Once all 100 are gone, Wave 2 is the next entry point. Don't wait.

What does "BYOK" mean and why does it matter?

Bring Your Own Key. You plug in your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Google API credentials and pay them directly at cost. We never markup tokens. Most builders spend $20–$50/mo upstream.

Can I run this on my own hardware?

Yes. All paid cohorts support hybrid LOCAL/CLOUD — sensitive workflows stay on your machine via Ollama, while heavy reasoning routes to Claude or GPT-4o.

Is there a free trial?

The Starter kit (GitHub) is free forever. It runs a 2-agent kit so you can touch the stack. Paid cohorts unlock the full control plane — spend caps, approval gates, audit, command floor. Subscribe, cancel if it's not delivering.

Is this just more agents?

No. The product is the control plane: spend caps, permissions, and audit for agent workforces. CLAWs and the command floor sit under that. Demos optimise for drafting. We optimise for not burning money or sending without approval.

What's the difference between Founder and Wave 2 features?

Identical product access. Founder additionally gets a dashboard badge, direct Discord with the team, and a seat on the founder council roadmap vote. The rate difference ($49 vs $99) is the main thing.

What happens to my rate if I cancel and re-subscribe?

Your cohort slot is held for 30 days after cancellation. Reactivate within 30 days and your original rate is restored. After 30 days the slot is released and you rejoin at whatever cohort is currently open.

100 founder spots. Then the price goes up.

Right now you lock in at $49/mo — forever. After 100 members the rate rises to $99/mo, then $149/mo. One product. The price you join at is the price you keep.
