Pricing

Every agent transaction, priced the way it happens.

Every tier runs the same governance core. Scale, support, and terms are what change.

HYBRID METERING · MONTHLY PLATFORM FEE, INCLUDED TRANSACTIONS, THEN OVERAGE
The unit

One transaction, one governed action.

A signed request that clears identity verification and reaches a policy decision. That decision is the billable event.

§1

What counts

Allowed, throttled, modified, held, or denied. The gate did the work.

§2

What doesn't

Requests refused at signature, replay, freshness, or key lifecycle never reach policy. Nor does a released reservation.

§3

How it's billed

Monthly, in arrears, against the same signed ledger you can audit yourself. No card checkout.

The counter resets monthly, and every transaction has a signed receipt behind it. An invoice you can check, not accept.

Tiers

Five ways in. One gateway underneath.

Same identity checks, policy engine, ledger, and receipts on every tier.

Government, in the open

Where a public-sector engagement lands.

Three things shape what we can do together.

Stated up front

Three we could quietly omit.

  • Accreditation support, not an existing authorization. We provide the fail-closed control and immutable-audit architecture an authorization asks for, and support you through the process. GateCore holds no FedRAMP, FISMA, or ATO today, so if your acquisition requires one in hand, you hear that on the first call.
  • Free records stay free, and still get governed. Metering runs at zero purely for control, audit, and anti-scraping. Only categories your jurisdiction already permits can carry a price, and that is your law rather than our software.
  • Your counsel rules on what you may charge for. GateCore governs, meters, and proves access. It does not decide what you are allowed to sell.

Better read here than discovered in procurement.

FAQ

About the meter.

What counts as a transaction?
A signed request that clears identity verification and reaches a policy decision, whichever way it goes. Requests refused at signature, replay, freshness, or key lifecycle never reach policy, so they are never billed.
Is the free tier a practice environment?
No. Developer runs on real production keys against the live gateway, on the same ledger every paying tenant uses. Nothing to graduate out of, no code to change at Growth. What you do not get is an SLA.
What happens when I hit 1,000 transactions?
The meter stops. Further actions are refused with a reason rather than quietly billed, and the counter resets monthly. Growth lifts the ceiling.
How do I actually pay?
By invoice, arranged directly, monthly in arrears against the metered record. That record is the same signed ledger you can audit yourself. No card checkout, no stored payment method.
Can we run at zero and still get the governance?
Yes. Zero is a valid price and the full governance path still runs: identity checks, policy, holds, receipts, audit trail. Money simply never moves. A common shape is zero-cost governance internally beside per-request pricing outside.
Is there an annual plan?
Monthly in arrears is the cadence today, and the published tiers are exactly what we charge. If they change, existing accounts get notice before it applies. Anything negotiated carries its own term in writing.
