Pricing
Everything is free while Axela is in beta, and nothing here starts charging you on its own. These are the prices we expect to set; moving onto a paid plan will be a new agreement you actively accept, with at least thirty days' notice first, per the terms.
Personal
For individuals: your own machines, your own skills. One organisation, up to 10 active machines, one marketplace. Unlimited scanning on your own machine. Community support on GitHub. Not a trial — personal use stays free after the beta too.
Team
For companies, per organisation: up to 50 active machines and 3 marketplaces. Email support. For a team whose agents run skills it did not write itself.
Enterprise
Unlimited machines, SSO, an SLA, and help running notaryd yourself where the events must not leave your network. axela@system5.dev
What counts as an active machine
A machine whose signed report reached the notary in the last thirty days — exactly the number your dashboard shows next to the machines table. A laptop that stops reporting stops counting on its own; nothing needs deregistering.
Every publish is scanned
Before it countersigns anything, the notary downloads your repository at the exact commit GitHub minted the publish token for, recomputes every skill's digest to check the catalog really describes those bytes, and reads what the skills do. A catalog it cannot read is a catalog it does not sign.
What stops a publish is behaviour in executable files — a script that pipes a download into a shell, reads credentials, or erases its own tracks. What a skill says never stops one. We measured that choice: a scanner matching strings across eleven curated skills refused four, and all four were documentation. A security skill was refused for containing the metadata address it teaches you to block. Findings in prose are reported for a person to read, and a finding you have read can be accepted in a file inside the skill, which your signature then covers.
It is included, not an add-on. Personal accounts get 100 scanned publishes a month — a marketplace republished daily uses about thirty. Team accounts get ten times that. The number exists because reading skills with a model costs tokens; it is there to stop a runaway loop, not to sell you an upgrade.
Self-hosting is always free
The client and the notary are open source under Apache-2.0. These prices buy the hosted service: the always-on notary, the console, and somebody else carrying the pager.
