Pricing that works from one seat

A whole project stack,
from $5 a seat.

Mount projects too large to sync as a local drive. Stream only the bytes you open, collaborate over LAN or cloud, and version every change, without stitching together a NAS, VPN, sync tool, and version-control server.

Self-serve plans

Choose your plan.

Starter and Pro include a 7-day trial covering up to 2 seats. Add seats whenever the team grows; a trial adds more once it converts.

Hosted CI on every plan: billed by the second, up to 40% cheaper than GitHub’s Linux runners.A commit, tag or merge request runs in its own isolated container - sparse checkout, artifacts, a dependency cache and live logs, with no build farm to own. Runtime bills per second at provider cost × 1.1, where GitHub rounds each job up to the minute: up to 40% less per paid job than GitHub’s published Linux rates (GitHub’s included plan minutes still apply). Counted against your spend cap.

Control the whole deployment

Enterprise

For regulated and large organizations that need custom capacity, dedicated infrastructure, compliance support, or a self-hosted control plane. Fully air-gapped deployment is on the roadmap.

  • Custom contracts, plus SAML SSO via an adapter
  • Bring your own storage as the primary tier
  • Self-hosted or hybrid control plane
  • Dedicated support and SLA
Built around your environmentContact salesExplore self-hosting →
No egress billCloud and peer-to-peer transfer are unlimited on every plan.
Storage grows with youUsage overage is $5 / 100 GiB on Starter and $4 / 100 GiB on Pro.
A ceiling on the billOwners set a monthly spend cap on metered charges - storage, extra collaborators and CI compute; at the cap, growth pauses while reads keep working.
Hosted CI computeCI jobs run on every plan: per second of container time at our underlying provider's at-cost rate × 1.1, with a 60-second minimum, counted by the same spend cap. A card is required only where none is on file. Per-size rates and the GitHub comparison.
Paid seats fund open sourceEvery paying seat earmarks $0.50/mo for an Open Collective project of its choice; an owner can set one for the org.
Pay less when you plan aheadPre-purchased 100 GiB packs are $4 on Starter and $3 on Pro.
Collaborators beyond the allowance$1/collaborator/month, or $0.80 each pre-purchased. Starter includes one per seat; Pro, five. Public-project collaborators are free and never count against the allowance.
Headless API keysIncluded per plan, then $2/key/month; sold in 10-key packs.

One seat, not five subscriptions

What a seat actually replaces.

The price is not just for storage. It is for the stack you would otherwise buy, run, secure, and stitch together yourself.

  • A cloud-streamed drive. Mount a project too big to sync and open any file in it without downloading the project first.
  • A version-control server. Branch, commit, merge, and review terabyte-scale binaries without administering a Perforce depot. Compare with Perforce →
  • A review and approval tool. Merge requests, branch protection, comments, and RFIs are built in.
  • A NAS and a VPN. LAN-first peer-to-peer transfer plus cloud fallback gives every office a fast shared workspace.
  • Durability and recovery tooling. Rollback, erasure coding, ransomware quarantine, and encrypted paid-plan storage are included. Keep an independent backup for critical data.
