Free until July 2026
Current beta access is free until July 2026, including desktop downloads and the local-first infrastructure workspace.
Pricing
Clanker Cloud pricing
Clanker Cloud is free during the current beta until July 2026. The beta gives builders and teams time to install the desktop app, connect local infrastructure context, and try the workflow before paid plans start.
The short version is: free beta until July 2026, simple paid tiers after that, and BYOK model usage billed directly by your chosen AI provider.
Planned tiers
Pricing after the free beta
| Tier | Price | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Beta | Free until July 2026 | Everyone trying Clanker Cloud during the current beta. |
| Hobby | Free | Personal use, side projects, and individual exploration after beta. |
| Lite | $5/month | Individuals who want a lightweight paid tier for regular desktop use. |
| Pro | $20/month | Builders and operators using Clanker Cloud for production workflows. |
| Business | $200/month | Teams that need Clanker Cloud for shared infrastructure work and extra support. |
| Enterprise | Contact us | Larger organizations, procurement, and custom support. Email support@novlabs.ai. |
Simple post-beta tiers
The planned tiers are Hobby, Lite, Pro, Business, and Enterprise, with Lite at $5/month, Pro at $20/month, and Business at $200/month.
BYOK AI costs stay separate
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cohere, or local-model usage is billed through your own provider setup, not bundled into a markup layer.
