  **Free is for evaluating Roboticks on a small public repo.** Team is the productionised tier. Enterprise unlocks air-gapped runners and bundled connectors.

## The three metered dimensions

Only these three are usage-billed. Everything else is included in the subscription or hard-gated to the tier.

### 1. Hosted sim minutes

Hosted runners — Gazebo Harmonic, Webots, GPU-backed ROS2 — bill by the wall-clock minute the instance executes a job. Spin-up and tear-down are not billed; idle instances auto-shut-down after 5 minutes.

* **Self-hosted runners are not billed for compute.** You run the [`roboticks-runner`](https://github.com/roboticks-io/roboticks-runner) Go binary on your own hardware. MCAPs and logs still consume `storage_gb_months`.
* Sim minutes are **PAYG** (auto-billed monthly) above the included allowance, with a per-org hard daily cap you set.
* See [Runners → Hosted vs Self-Hosted](/runners/overview).

### 2. Hot storage (S3 standard)

MCAP bag files, logs, JUnit XMLs, evidence-pack work files. Lives in S3 standard for 90 days, then transitions to Glacier Deep Archive per the [Evidence pack archive policy](/evidence/archive).

* Free tier auto-expires MCAPs after 30 days.
* Team and Enterprise: \$0.05 / GB-month, billed monthly.

### 3. Archive storage (S3 Glacier Deep Archive)

Evidence packs older than 90 days move here for the 10-year EU Product Liability tail.

* \$0.005 / GB-month.
* Retrieval: minutes-to-hours; rare in practice but available.

## What is never billed

|                                                   | Why                                                                             |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Test runs**                                     | We want you to run more tests. Soft-metered for analytics/abuse-detection only. |
| **Webhooks delivered**                            | Operating cost is negligible; metering would discourage CI.                     |
| **GitHub App installations**                      | Free across tiers.                                                              |
| **Self-hosted runner compute**                    | Your hardware, your bill. We charge zero overhead.                              |
| **LLM features (triage, requirement extraction)** | Bundled. Per-tier daily caps prevent prompt-injection abuse.                    |

## Connectors and standards subscriptions

These are itemised upsells, not bundles.

* **Standards subscription** — \$99 / standard / month. Roboticks tracks the publication feed (ISO/IEC/EN, EU Official Journal) and alerts you when an edition or amendment touches your pinned requirements. First standard included on Team. [Standards overview](/standards/overview).
* **BYO connector** — \$149 / connector / month. Ingests output from your existing licensed tool (LDRA, Polyspace, Coverity, Jama, Polarion, codeBeamer, DOORS). OSS scanners (cppcheck, clang-tidy, Bandit, Semgrep, trivy, syft) are bundled in paid tiers at no extra cost. [Connectors → BYO](/integrations/overview#byo-connectors).

## Tier semantics & edge cases

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What happens at the Free sim-minute cap?">
    The 31st minute in a calendar month is **refused with a 402** — no surprise bill, no overage. Upgrade to Team to keep running, or move the job to a self-hosted runner (always free of compute charges).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I downgrade and I'm over a cap?">
    Soft-cap with a 30-day grace period. You pick which projects, repos, or seats stay active; the rest go read-only and then archive. If you make no choice, we keep the most-recently-active per-resource.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are evidence packs billed per generation?">
    No. Evidence pack generation is bundled in all paid tiers. Free tier gets PDF + ZIP; **ReqIF export is the soft paywall** that unlocks at Team.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is a sim minute counted?">
    Wall-clock minutes the hosted instance is executing a job, rounded up to the nearest minute. Spin-up, image pull, idle wait — not billed. A 47-second test bills 1 minute; a 4 min 12 s test bills 5 minutes. Re-runs on the same commit re-meter (the runner actually ran again).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Storage de-dup behaviour?">
    Re-runs on the same commit overwrite prior MCAP/JUnit artifacts — no storage doubling. Evidence packs are immutable per-release (never overwritten).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Currency and tax?">
    USD and EUR billed through Stripe with Stripe Tax. GBP and CHF added on demand. Enterprise customers may invoice in any of these.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Sponsored / Academic

For research labs, university teams, and approved open-source robotics projects. All Team features, no charge. Manual approval; annual re-approval. Apply at [roboticks.io/sponsored](https://roboticks.io/sponsored).

## Pricing is starting values

These numbers are **the starting prices for the GA launch**. We will adjust based on early-customer signals. Annual commits get a discount (TBD); enterprise volume discounts negotiated case-by-case.
