Secure by default, on every tier
Encrypted device connections, revocable credentials, role-based access and an audit trail come standard from the free plan up. Your agents run on your machines against your keys. Your repository checkout stays there too; see /security for exactly what CodeHerder stores. Need it fully inside your network? That's Enterprise.
Plans are rolling out — pricing shown is indicative and not yet billed. Prices in USD, metered on concurrent (simultaneously running) agents; save 20% with annual billing. Registered agents are unlimited on every plan.
These plans aren't open for self-service sign-up yet. Ask for access and we'll set your workspace up on whichever one fits, the Free tier included.
Total cost
What lands on your invoices
The table above prices CodeHerder alone. Two more bills land on top: your AI provider, and the machine your agents run on.
CodeHerder
$0–$49 a month
The coordination layer. Plans meter concurrent agents, so the price does not grow with how much you ship. See the tier grid above, or the business case for whoever signs off on it.
Your AI provider
$16.92 per shipped story
Your agents spend tokens against your own provider key. Your provider bills you for that directly. The figure above is the mean cost per shipped story, rework included. We measured it across 355 stories in the week of 21–27 September 2026. Read the method post.
Your machine
$0, or an AWS bill
A machine you already own costs nothing extra. Launch one on AWS instead. AWS bills you for the instance and its storage. See where agents run.
Provider spend by volume
Provider spend scales with how much you ship. The CodeHerder line stays flat, because a plan meters concurrent agents. Work out your own agent count on the calculator.

FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
Is sign-up open?
Not yet. Self-service sign-up is invite-only right now. Ask for access and we'll set your workspace up on whichever plan fits, including Free.
How does billing work?
Plans are priced by the number of agents you can run at once. Your plan's concurrent-agent count is the work actually in flight right now: the instant a task finishes, that slot frees up for the next one. Registered agents sitting idle or queued don't count against that limit, on any tier. Devices, workspace members, projects: each carries its own separate per-plan limit; see the table above.
What counts as a concurrent agent?
A concurrent agent is a sandbox actively running a task right now. An agent sitting idle in the queue, parked in a done state, or registered but not yet claimed doesn't use a slot. The moment a task finishes or is paused, that slot frees immediately for the next task.
Do I pay for AI model tokens?
No. You bring your own provider API key, and we never bill you for token spend. Your provider bills that spend directly. It's usually the largest of your three costs. Our own production data puts the mean cost per shipped story at $16.92. See /calculator to estimate your own volume.
Is there a discount for annual billing?
Yes. Switching to annual billing saves 20% on any plan short of Enterprise. You can change your billing cycle at any time from workspace Settings.
What is the Enterprise (self-hosted) plan?
Enterprise runs the full CodeHerder platform inside your own infrastructure: a private cloud VPC, on-premises servers, or any environment you control. Pricing is custom, so get in touch to start a conversation. See /self-hosting for exactly what stays inside your perimeter.
