DecimalAI is free to start. You pay only when you exceed the Free tier's monthly quotas or need a higher-tier feature. For the customer-facing version with current dollar amounts, see [decimal.ai/pricing](https://decimal.ai/pricing). This page is the source of truth for what each plan **technically allows** — quotas, rate limits, gated features, and enforcement behavior. ## Plan tiers | | Free | Core (\$49) | Pro (\$199) | Enterprise | | ---------------------------------------------- | --------- | ----------- | ------------- | --------------- | | **Monthly traces ingested** | 5,000 | 10,000 | 100,000 | Custom | | **Monthly SFT rows built** | 500 | 5,000 | 50,000 | Custom | | **Monthly LLM-judge calls** | 100 | 1,000 | 10,000 | Custom | | **Monthly benchmark cases (hosted, verified)** | 100 | 1,000 | 5,000 | 25,000 | | **Agents** | 1 | 3 | 10 | Unlimited | | **Skills in org** | 10 | 50 | 250 | Unlimited | | **Workspaces** | 1 | 3 | 10 | Unlimited | | **Members** | 1 | 5 | 25 | Unlimited | | **API keys** | 2 | 10 | 50 | Unlimited | | **Data retention** | 14 days | 30 days | 90 days | 365 days | | **Support** | Community | Email | Email + Slack | Dedicated + SLA | ## Skills registry features The skills layer — registry browse, install, smart routing, and observability — is the wedge feature; Free is generous on purpose. Capabilities gated to paid tiers focus on **publishing**, **analytics**, and **team workflow**. | Capability | Free | Core | Pro | Enterprise | | ------------------------------------------------------ | :--: | :--: | :-: | :--------: | | Browse public registry (no signup) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | `decimalai skills pull ` — read a skill, no auth | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Install (fork) registry skills | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Create your own skills (within skill cap) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | `router.get_menu()` — static skill menu | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | `router.smart_route()` — semantic + effectiveness rank | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Public skill dashboards + OG cards + embed widget | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Version diff viewer (public registry) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Per-model effectiveness on **public** registry skills | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Publish your skills to the public registry | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Per-model effectiveness on **your org's** forks | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | `analytics/compare` — A/B two versions | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | `analytics/leaderboard` — rank your skills | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Weekly skill degradation digest email | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Per-agent skill bundle assignment | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | Named bundle templates | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | Skill audit log | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | Org-private registry (workspace-only visibility) | — | — | — | ✓ | | Private registry (skills never on api.decimal.ai) | — | — | — | ✓ | | BYO embedder for `smart_route` | — | — | — | ✓ | | SSO for registry access | — | — | — | ✓ | **Gating behavior — soft today, hard later.** Free-tier callers can still invoke the paid feature endpoints today; responses include an `X-Plan-Upgrade-Required: core` header so you can see what your team needs before upgrading. Future cutover to hard 402 enforcement will be announced in the changelog. ## Rate limits Per plan, applied per API key: | Plan | RPM | Burst | | ---------- | ------ | ----- | | Free | 60 | 10 | | Core | 120 | 20 | | Pro | 300 | 50 | | Enterprise | 1,000+ | 200+ | When you hit a limit, responses return `429 Too Many Requests` with a `Retry-After` header. The SDK respects this automatically; see [Errors](/api-reference/errors#rate-limits) for direct-API behavior. ## Quota enforcement Quotas are enforced **per resource**, not as a single bucket: | Resource | Checked at | On-limit response | Special rules | | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Traces ingested** | Every `POST /api/v1/traces` (and `POST /traces/batch`) | `429` with `detail: "limit_exceeded"` | Imported traces count at half rate (see Quota for backfills below) | | **SFT rows built** | `POST /api/v1/datasets/{id}/build` | Build rejected pre-flight | Rejected before any work runs if the build would exceed your quota | | **LLM-judge calls** | Every LLM-judge evaluator run | LLM-judge checks silently skipped | Deterministic checks still run after the budget hits zero | | **Skills in org** | Create/install time — `POST /api/v1/skills` and `POST /api/v1/registry/skills/{id}/fork` | `402 Payment Required` with an upgrade link | Existing over-cap orgs are grandfathered; the cap blocks new creates only | | **Benchmark cases** | When you trigger a hosted run (pre-authorized) | Run blocked unless enough cases are available | Errored cases are refunded; granularity-neutral. One metered case = one eval case executed on the hosted runner (both A/B arms + judge included). It is pre-authorized when you trigger a run — a 50-case suite needs 50 available cases — and **errored cases are refunded** (an LLM outage mid-run doesn't consume quota). Granularity-neutral by design: one 50-case run costs the same as ten 5-case runs. Three things never touch this meter: **local runs** (the [open-source runner](/guides/skillevaluation#run-it-locally-free) executes on your own API key), **pushing local results** (a JSON upload), and the **verification run triggered by publishing** (free by design — publishing never competes with your quota). | Monthly quotas reset on the first of each calendar month (UTC). **Quota for backfills.** Imported traces (via `POST /api/v1/import/traces`) count at **half rate**. A backfill of 10k traces costs 5k against your `traces_ingested` quota. For larger one-time backfills, contact support — we routinely grant temporary bumps. ## How to upgrade Core and Pro plans — upgrade in the dashboard, Stripe checkout, takes 30 seconds. Custom quotas, SSO, on-prem deployment, private registry, dedicated support. Contact sales.
