Individual
For personal trading, research, and automation.
Free → Pro → Premium
- Free ($0) — Enter the ecosystem. Connect and execute. Basic routing, portfolio, risk, and market access. Tiny included credits — not enough for research or autonomous workloads. No card required.
- Pro ($99/mo) — Personal research and automation rights. Backtesting, optimization, autonomous agents, Agent Mesh, included monthly credits at the standard rate.
- Premium ($299/mo) — The same Artifice, with more included credits, a better rate, and higher concurrent research and agent capacity.
Individual plans are licensed for personal and professional use. Building products or providing Artifice-powered services to others requires a Business plan. Premium is more personal capacity — not a commercial license.
Business
For startups, development teams, funds, and companies using Artifice commercially.
Developer → Enterprise → Private
- Developer ($199/mo) — Permission to build commercially. Commercial license, 3–5 seats, shared workspace, research, agents, Agent Mesh, commercial API + MCP, and included credits for development. Production usage is billed as credits.
- Enterprise ($999/mo) — Organizational access. More seats, larger included credits, a better rate, RBAC, audit logs, organization-wide risk, and priority compute. $999 is the doorway — serious workloads pay for the credits they consume.
- Artifice Private (custom) — Your own Artifice. Dedicated infrastructure, isolation, SLA, and a committed credit schedule. Scoped around the deployment.
Building on Artifice? Start at $199/month. Developer introduces commercial licensing and customer-facing products. Premium does not. A developer is not getting more Artifice for less money — they are getting permission to build, then paying for consumption.
Credits
Research, agents, backtests, optimization, and autonomous workflows consume credits. Plans include a monthly allocation. Usage above that is billed as credits.
Higher plans buy better economics, not extra features. Everyone on a paid plan can use the same research and agent tools. Enterprise can run more of them for the same dollar.
Included amounts and rates will follow measured usage. They are not locked here.
| Plan | Base | Included credits | Additional credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Tiny | Cannot run serious workloads |
| Pro | $99 | Standard | Standard credit rate |
| Premium | $299 | Larger | Better credit rate |
| Developer | $199 | Standard | Standard commercial rate |
| Enterprise | $999 | Much larger | Better commercial rate |
| Artifice Private | Custom | Commitment | Negotiated |
Pro → Premium is more capacity, cheaper compute, larger concurrent workloads.
Developer → Enterprise is more capacity, cheaper compute, more seats, organizational controls, and support.
Enterprise → Private is dedicated infrastructure and isolation.
The software remains Artifice.
Billing
Annual billing saves 20%. Free is how you explore — connect venues, trade manually, and use Console with limited credits. Paid plans begin when you pay a period in Console via Stripe — card or crypto. One period at a time. There is no separate time-limited trial. Products do not change between plans.
Venue fees
Artifice builder and routing fees on connected venues scale with the plan. They are secondary to credit economics. Exchange maker/taker fees are unchanged.
- Free — Standard venue fees.
- Pro — 20% venue fee reduction.
- Developer — 30% venue fee reduction.
- Premium — 40% venue fee reduction.
- Enterprise — 50% venue fee reduction.
- Artifice Private — Custom venue fee schedule.
