7-Day Free Trial

Every plan includes a full-access trial. Here is exactly what you get.

When you sign up, you get immediate access to a fully provisioned hive on the plan you selected. No credit card is required. You receive an API key, access to the usage dashboard, and the ability to configure specialists.

During the trial, you have the same request limits, the same model access, and the same support tier as paying customers on that plan. There are no feature restrictions. The trial is the real product.

At the end of 7 days, you enter your payment information to continue. If you do not, your hive is suspended (not deleted). Your configuration is preserved for 30 days, so you can reactivate at any time without reconfiguring your specialists.


Overage Pricing

Go over your monthly request limit? No problem. No service interruption.

If you exceed your plan's monthly request allocation, additional requests are billed at the following rates:

Plan Included Requests Overage Rate Example: 50K Extra
Solo 10K/month $10.00 per 1K requests +$500
Starter 100K/month $4.00 per 1K requests +$200
Professional 500K/month $2.50 per 1K requests +$125
Scale 2M/month $1.25 per 1K requests +$62.50

You can set overage alerts in the dashboard at any threshold. If you consistently exceed your plan limit, upgrading to the next tier is almost always more cost-effective than paying overage rates. We will proactively suggest an upgrade when the numbers make sense.

Pricing FAQ

Is there really no credit card required for the trial?
Correct. You sign up with an email address, receive an API key, and start making requests. No payment information is collected until the trial ends and you choose to continue.
What's the difference between Solo and Starter?
Solo uses shared infrastructure at $49/month, making it ideal for individual developers and freelancers who need up to 10K requests/month. Starter ($499/month) gives you a dedicated hive with 100K requests/month, email support, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. If you need guaranteed resources and higher throughput, choose Starter. If you are a solo developer or want to evaluate Alveare at low cost, Solo is the right entry point.
Can I switch plans after signing up?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, and you are charged the prorated difference for the remaining billing period. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle.
What happens if I exceed my request limit?
Your service continues without interruption. Overage requests are billed at the per-1K rate for your plan tier (see overage pricing above). You can configure alerts in the dashboard to notify you at any usage threshold.
How does annual billing work?
Annual plans are billed as a single payment at the start of each year. You save 20% compared to monthly billing. Annual plans include the same 7-day free trial. If you cancel within 30 days, you receive a full refund.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee for any standard plan. Your hive is provisioned automatically when you sign up. Enterprise plans with custom deployments may involve professional services, which are quoted separately.
What models are available?
Solo and Starter plans include 7B parameter models (Mistral 7B, Llama 3 8B). Professional plans add 13B models. Scale plans support any model we host, including 70B parameter models. All models are open-weight and run on dedicated infrastructure (shared for Solo, dedicated for all other plans).
Can I bring my own fine-tuned model?
Yes, on Scale and Enterprise plans. You provide a fine-tuned model in a supported format (GGUF, GPTQ, AWQ), and we deploy it to your hive. The model runs exclusively on your dedicated infrastructure.
What counts as a "request"?
One API call to the inference endpoint counts as one request, regardless of input or output token count. A request that returns an error due to invalid input still counts. A request that fails due to a system error on our side does not count.
Do you offer discounts for startups or non-profits?
Yes. We offer a 50% discount on any plan for the first 12 months for qualifying startups (under $5M in funding) and registered non-profits. Contact support@alveare.ai with your details.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel at any time. Monthly plans stop at the end of the current billing period. Annual plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee. After 30 days, annual plans are non-refundable but remain active until the end of the annual term.
