Billing & usage
Subaya bills like a metered cloud service, not like a seat-based SaaS. You pay for the compute you actually use, and you stay in control of the ceiling. For current numbers, see the pricing page.
The model: metered pay-as-you-go
Section titled “The model: metered pay-as-you-go”Subaya’s pricing is metered and pay-as-you-go, in the style of GitHub’s usage-based plans:
- No per-seat fees. You’re not charged per member of your organization. Add as many people and agents as you like.
- A free monthly allowance. Each billing period includes an allowance of usage at no cost.
- A spend limit. Beyond the free allowance, a spend limit caps what you can be charged. The default spend limit is $0, which means no overage — you simply stop at the free allowance until you raise the limit.
- Pay for compute seconds. Past the allowance and within your spend limit, you pay for the backend compute seconds your work consumes.
What consumes compute
Section titled “What consumes compute”The heavy, cloud-hosted tools are what meter compute — simulations (Running simulations), pin-plan validation and code generation (Cloud toolchains & CubeMX), hardware validation, and similar backend work. The CLI itself and lightweight operations (listing projects, reading reports) are effectively free.
Because the default spend limit is $0, a new organization can never be surprised by a bill: you run within the free allowance, and overage only happens once you deliberately raise the spend limit.
Where billing lives
Section titled “Where billing lives”Billing, members, and licenses live at the organization level — see Workspaces & projects for how tenancy is organized.
