# Pricing

> Orchestra's plans: what is free for everyone, the Team plan and its 14-day trial, what a seat is, how cloud agents and model tokens are billed, annual terms, Enterprise, pilots, and how to upgrade

Orchestra is free for everyone, on Orchestra Local or in a hosted workspace.
The Team plan is $15 per seat per month, or $12 per seat per month billed
yearly (\$144 a year), and adds what a team shares: your agents get what your
teammates and their agents did, delivered at the start of every session. Cloud
agents are billed by use and need no seat.

Six things hold on every plan:

* **Seats are active humans only.** Agents and guests are never seats.
* **Nothing is ever deleted.** Not when a trial ends, a payment fails or a
  plan is cancelled.
* **One price for Local and hosted.** Where your work is kept does not change
  what you pay.
* **Commit-to-session is free for everyone.** Anyone who can read a
  repository can open the session behind its commits and pull requests, a
  teammate's full session included.
* **Cloud agents are \$0.12 per running sandbox-hour, with no seat.** Billed
  per minute. A card is required.
* **Free keeps 30 days of shared team history.** A teammate's older sessions
  and memories are locked, never deleted, and Team opens all of them. Your
  own work is never locked, and the session behind a commit or pull request
  always opens.

## Plans

| Plan | Price | For |
| - | - | - |
| Free | \$0, forever | Everyone, on Local or hosted |
| Team | $15 per seat per month, or $12 per seat per month billed yearly (\$144 a year) | Teams, after a 14-day free trial. For pilot team or early bird pricing, write to [contact@orchestrahq.ai](mailto:contact@orchestrahq.ai) |
| Enterprise and Pilot | Custom, invoiced | Companies with security and compliance requirements. Write to [contact@orchestrahq.ai](mailto:contact@orchestrahq.ai) |

Cloud agents are separate from the plans: \$0.12 per running sandbox-hour,
billed per minute, on any plan. See
[Cloud runs and model tokens](#cloud-runs-and-model-tokens).

### Free

* Capture for every agent, on Local or hosted.
* Your own memory and recall.
* Commit-to-session and PR-to-session for everyone: open the session behind
  any commit or pull request in a repository you can read, a teammate's full
  session included, and ask `orchestra why`. Shared sessions travel through
  the repository's own git, so your git host decides who sees them.
* Native issues.
* Docs written from your own work.
* Orchestra Conductor on your own work.
* Invite anyone into one session. Guests are free.
* Fork your own sessions, into another agent too.
* Bring your own model key.
* Every Orchestra app.
* 30 days of shared team history. A teammate's older history is locked, never
  deleted: it stays listed, with what it is and how to unlock it. Your own
  work is never locked. On Orchestra Local this is a limit in the Orchestra
  apps only: the history stays in your team's git, and nothing in your git is
  touched.

Free needs an account, like every plan. Creating one is free, and your
sessions still stay on your laptop with Orchestra Local.

### Team

Everything in Free, plus:

* Shared memory, given to every session automatically, with your team's full
  history
* Linear and GitHub sync, and sessions on issues across the team
* Team Knowledge
* Orchestra Conductor across the team
* Live features, on automatically: teammates' live sessions, steering,
  agent-to-agent messages, the team map, collision warnings and team standards
* Continue or fork a teammate's session
* Handoff
* Setup share
* Local or hosted at the same price, with Local-only enforced when you choose
  it
* Sharing policy and roles

### Enterprise

Invoiced, with terms agreed with you. Everything in Team, plus SSO and SCIM,
audit export, a SOC 2 report, self-hosted runners and your own VPC, retention
controls, custom model endpoints and locked Local. Some of these are not live
yet. Write to [contact@orchestrahq.ai](mailto:contact@orchestrahq.ai) and we
will say plainly what is available today.

## The team trial

* **When it starts:** when a second person actively uses team features in
  your workspace. Accepting an invitation does not start it.
* **How long:** 14 days, with every Team feature on.
* **No card to start:** nothing to enter, and nothing is charged at the end
  unless an admin adds a card.
* **During the trial:** Settings, Plan shows the days left and how many of
  your teammates' memories your agents used.
* **At the end:** your workspace admins get an email, and Settings, Plan shows
  a banner, both with the same summary ("your agents used N of your teammates'
  memories") and a link to add a card.
* **If you add a card:** Team continues without a gap, billed per active seat.
* **If you do not:** the workspace runs as Free and the Team features become
  read-only. Nothing is ever deleted. What your team already shared stays in
  your repository and on your laptops.

A workspace that already had a paid plan does not get a second trial.

## What a seat is

A seat is an active human: a person who captured at least one session that
month. You can roll Orchestra out to your whole team and pay only for the
people who use it. Agents are never seats, and guests are never seats.

## Cloud runs and model tokens

Cloud agents run on Orchestra's machines. They need a card and no seat, on
any plan. You pay for what you used, afterwards, on your monthly invoice:

* **Sandbox time:** \$0.12 per running sandbox-hour, billed per minute. A
  session that is paused or waiting is not billed. There are no included
  hours on Team or with a card: every running minute is billed.
* **Model tokens:** cloud agents run on your workspace's own model
  credential, which an admin adds in **Settings**, then **Integrations**, under **Agents**. Your
  provider bills you directly, and Orchestra never bills these tokens
  ([Your own model keys](https://docs.orchestrahq.ai/model-keys.md)).
* **Claude Code:** always runs on your own credential. Its terms require each
  user's usage to be billed to them by Anthropic.
* **Spend limit:** your admin sets one monthly limit, \$100 by default. When
  cloud use reaches it, cloud runs stop with a message saying so, and start
  again when an admin raises the limit in **Settings**, then **Billing**, or
  when the month resets.
* **No prepaid credits:** no top-ups, balances or expiry.
* **Memory and Conductor:** included on every plan, and never billed as
  tokens. Memory on Orchestra's keys (summaries, status lines and Knowledge
  included) has an included amount each month per workspace; past it, memory
  pauses until the first of the next month and catches up then. Sessions are
  still saved meanwhile.

Pilots include cloud use up to the amounts agreed, and are not billed for it.

**Settings**, then **Billing** shows your admins the month so far: sandbox-hours
and what they cost, and model tokens on your own keys (counted, not billed).

## Annual billing

Billed yearly, Team is $12 per seat per month, $144 a seat for the year. You
prepay a seat count for the year. Each quarter we compare it with your active
seats: if more people were active than you paid for, the extra seats are
added for the rest of the term. If fewer were active, there is no refund.

Monthly billing simply follows your active seats each month.

## Pilots

Pilots are priced for your team: either a flat monthly fee, or a negotiated
price a seat, optionally with a seat count and a period the price is locked
for. We set the plan up for your workspace, and you get invoices by email, so
no card is needed. What the pilot includes is agreed with you. Ask for a pilot
at [contact@orchestrahq.ai](mailto:contact@orchestrahq.ai).

## When a payment fails or a plan ends

The workspace falls back to Free, and the Team features become read-only.
Nothing is ever deleted: your sessions and memories stay, and what your team
already shared stays in your repository. Shared team history older than 30
days is locked until the plan is paid again, then all of it opens.

## What we count but do not bill

On paid plans we count coordinated agent-hours: hours of active agent work in
sessions Orchestra did something for (gave team context, joined or steered,
messaged, or dispatched). Your admin sees the count in **Settings**, then
**Billing**. We do not bill it today.

To count active seats and agent-hours, each laptop on a paid plan sends one
number a day: how many sessions it captured and how many minutes of
coordinated agent work it ran. It never includes your code, conversations,
repository names, file paths or session ids.

## How to upgrade

* In the web app: open **Settings**, then **Billing**.
* From your terminal: run `orchestra upgrade`, or `orchestra upgrade --annual`
  to be billed yearly.

Both open a secure checkout page for the Team plan. To change seats, switch to
annual billing, update your card or cancel, use the same place.
