Pricing

Pay for operations, not the code.

AEGIS is MIT-licensed. The same gateway, cockpit, and detectors power self-host and hosted. You pay only when you want us to run Postgres, sign the SOC 2 report, and answer the pager.

Path 1

Self-host

$0MIT, forever

Run AEGIS on your own infra — Docker, Helm, or a single binary. Same code as our hosted SaaS, no feature lock.

  • All detectors, packs, and SDKs
  • Full audit / compliance bundles
  • Community Slack support
  • You operate Postgres, TLS, backups
Download from GitHub curl -fsSL aegis.dev/install.sh | bash

Hosted tiers

All four tiers run the same MIT-licensed code. You're paying for operations, support, and compliance artifacts — not features the OSS doesn't have.

Pricing FAQ

What counts as a "check"?

One POST to /api/v1/check or one LLM call routed through the egress proxy. Tool-call traces ingested for audit but NOT subject to a policy decision (e.g. historical replay) do not count.

What happens at the cap?

On Free, requests over 1,000/month return a 429 with a soft window — your agent retries the next month at zero disruption. On paid plans, overages are billed per 10,000-check block ($1 on Pro, $0.50 on Team) — no request is ever dropped on a paid plan.

Can I self-host instead?

Yes — AEGIS is MIT-licensed. docker compose up -d from the GitHub repo gives you the same gateway. Hosted SaaS is for teams who don't want to operate it.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Free tier requires only email verification. Upgrading to Pro is the first time we ask for a payment method.

Is there a startup / academic discount?

Yes — 50% off Pro and Team for the first 12 months for YC-backed companies, USC / MIT / Berkeley labs, and any org with < 10 employees + < $1M ARR. Email sales@aegis.dev.

How does Enterprise differ technically?

Same codebase — but you get a deployment we operate inside your cloud (BYOC) or on-prem in an airgapped network, plus dedicated engineering time. We sign DPA, BAA, and any customer-specific MSA your legal team requires.
