Already have ERP, CRM, or tickets? Buy Platform. Need an app your people log into? Rent App Kit. Need both? Listed bundles — not a silent upgrade.
You already have ERP / CRM / tickets / APIs. Done is a gated pipeline that writes into those systems.
Priced against workflow tools.You do not have the app you need. Done is a running instance people open — the public site first, then sign-in and the books on that same URL. The rent unlocks Dev Console: you change the app and ship it, on a foundation already built for the load, watched on every deploy, and updated with the rent. The fee is the license for that foundation.
Priced against internal-app platforms.Shared nQube and production connectors. Start is $15 for 3,000 workflow runs. Team is $39 for 12,000. Business is $599. None of those include a dedicated instance. Pilot is delivery of your first gated pipeline on a real system, $9,000–$24,000, not a plan row and not a first custom app.
Viewers stay free. Start, Team, and Business are priced in workflow runs. A run with one gated commit bills 4 Runtime Credits internally (run 2 + commit 2). Enterprise is quoted in those credits.
Kit at $149/mo is the instance: a URL, a database, and a layer repo, with Dev Console. Kit Site at $15/mo is a public site on a shared host and does not include that console. The monthly fee is the license for the foundation. A managed host is included. Your cloud or on-prem keeps the license and drops the host meters. nQube on that instance only is included. Service health and HTTP feature checks come with Kit. Browser feature checks and the monthly passive security baseline are the Assurance add-on — talk to us. Active security tests stay a confirmed nventr run. Org-wide pipelines into systems outside the app still belong on Platform. Kit Business is $349. Viewers on an instance are unlimited.
How the rented kit, layer repo, and 12-hour license work: App Kit explainer →
Buying Kit alone does not unlock Platform for the org. Buying Platform alone does not give you a URL, database, or Dev Console. Platform is seats, credits, and optional VPC nodes. Kit is instance rent, the license, and Dev Console runs.
Platform Enterprise is typical year-1 from $8,000/mo. Kit Enterprise is from $3,000/mo. Neither is a self-serve checkout. Send a brief and we’ll spend 30 minutes on the first write.
What happens next
Bring the systems you already use, or the app you need people to open, and the write that has to stay gated.
| Meter | Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Seats | Plan fee | Builders and operators. Viewers free. |
| Runtime Credits | $0.015–$0.010 / credit | Workflow run 2 · conversation 10 · gated commit 2 · HITL 1 |
| nQube copilot turns | Optional / hosted tokens | Build wallet. BYO key = $0. |
| Hosted run tokens | $0.02 / 1K list | Only if nventr hosts the model. |
| Hosted model credits | Included allowance, then prepaid | Chat, embeddings, image and video at catalog price. Every plan includes a monthly allowance; past it, a prepaid balance you top up. BYO key = $0. |
| Meter | Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Instance rent | Plan fee | License for the foundation. Always, including when you host. |
| Dev Console run | $1.50 / run | Model-agnostic. Overage past the included runs. |
| Instance Runtime Credits | If pipelines run on the instance | Same recipe as Platform, billed on that box. |
| Compute / storage / egress / GPU | $0.08 / $0.20 / $0.12 / $2.50 | Included allowance on a managed host. $0 when you host. |
| Hosted model credits | Included allowance, then prepaid | The instance calls the same gateway: chat, embeddings, image, video. Kit plans add their own monthly allowance; shared prepaid balance with Platform. BYO key = $0. |
Bring your own model and the hosted-token line is $0. Seats and instance rent stay. Hosted model credits never stop your app: at a $0 balance hosted model calls pause with a clear 402 until you top up; everything else keeps running. Build and Run wallets stay separate so a week of coding agents cannot empty production, and a month of invoice intake cannot freeze the Dev Console.
