Pricing for AI labs
Labs pay per gigabyte delivered and verified. Nothing else is billed: failed deliveries, rejected requests and policy blocks are free.
Rates
| Plan | Rate per GB | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Research | $1.50 | Academic and non-profit labs, up to 2 TB / month |
| Standard | $1.25 | Production data pipelines, no volume minimum |
| Volume | From $0.95 | 50 TB / month and above, annual agreement |
Rates are for the default region pool (North America and Western Europe). Other regions are priced by demand and shown in the API's rate card endpoint.
