Pricing model
Pay-as-you-go, per-second compute, per-request edge, per-event security. No upfront. No egress between AIARCO primitives.
What it is
Every SKU is published. There is no enterprise-only quote unless you are buying committed-use discounts above $25K/month. Three meter types:
When to use it
- Per-second compute — GPU and CPU pods, sandboxes, agent workspaces. Billed every second a resource exists in
readystate. - Per-request edge — CDN requests, DNS queries, WAF evaluations, edge-function calls. Billed per million.
- Per-event security — Shield bot challenges, threat-intel pulls, audit-log exports. Billed per event or per GB.
