Crux

// Pricing

Open-core operations pricing.

Self-host Crux for free. Pay when you want hosted retention, organization controls, fleet-wide policy rollout, approvals, and support.

// Pricing

Open-core. Operations are the paid surface.

The Apache-2.0 core is complete enough to self-host. Commercial tiers add hosted operations, retention, org controls, support, and fleet-scale compliance.

// How we price

Open-core operations pricing.

Pay for control, not inference

01

Provider tokens remain billed by the provider. Crux charges only for operational control-plane services.

Meter agents and retention

02

Agent count and trace retention map directly to operational load and storage cost.

No OSS paywalls

03

The CLI, local server, worker, MCP gateway, core policy, and self-hosted console stay Apache-2.0.

Cloud is operations at scale

04

Commercial value is shared org operations: SSO, RBAC, audit export, retention, support, and fleet sync.

// Pricing FAQ

Is the open-source tier enough for production?+

Yes. The Apache-2.0 distribution includes the local CLI, server, worker, MCP gateway, core policy, adapters, and self-hosted console.

What counts as an 'agent' for billing?+

An agent is one registered fleet record: one managed CLI agent, one custom SDK agent, or one deployed agent profile.

Do you charge per execution?+

Cloud Team includes execution and retention allowances, then meters overage by capacity tier. Self-hosted OSS does not meter executions.

Can I move from Cloud to self-hosted?+

Yes. Fleet profiles, policies, traces, and AgBOM records export through the same Crux control-plane model.

Do you charge for inference?+

Never. Provider authentication and token billing remain with the provider unless a custom agent explicitly routes through a Crux gateway.
