Access is granted under a subscription: you get the right to *use* the hosted service (and, on Enterprise, to run a licensed on-prem instance) — not to own, copy, or redistribute the software itself. Every paid plan is **feature-complete**: plans differ by decision volume and operational isolation, not by which scoring engines, experiments, journeys, triggers, or connectors you can use. Start on the free **Playground** to evaluate the platform before you buy, then pick a plan that matches your monthly decision volume. See [Deployment options](/self-host/deploy/options) for how each plan is operated. ## Plans | Plan | Price | Included decisions / month | Operated by | | -------------- | ---------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Free** | \$0 | 3,000 | KaireonAI (shared cloud) | | **Starter** | \$49 / mo | 100,000 | KaireonAI (shared cloud) | | **Growth** | \$299 / mo | 1,000,000 | KaireonAI (shared cloud) | | **Scale** | \$999 / mo | 10,000,000 | KaireonAI (shared cloud) | | **Dedicated** | Custom | Custom | KaireonAI — isolated single-tenant instance we host for you (private cloud) | | **Enterprise** | Custom | Custom | You or KaireonAI — on-prem available **under a commercial license** | A *decision* is counted each time the Recommend API returns a non-empty recommendation set. Empty results (no offers qualified) do not count against your allowance. Contact [sales@kaireonai.com](mailto:sales@kaireonai.com) for Dedicated and Enterprise pricing. ## What every plan includes Every plan — free trial through Enterprise — ships the complete platform. There are no feature gates, add-on modules, or per-feature license keys; plans meter **decision volume**, not capability. | Capability | Details | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Scoring engines** | Scorecard, Bayesian, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosted, Thompson Bandit, Epsilon-Greedy, Neural CF, Online Learner, External Endpoint (9 total) | | **Ranking** | Top-N, Diversity, Round Robin, Explore/Exploit, plus multi-objective ranking | | **Connectors** | All 80 registered connector types (4 currently usable in a pipeline) | | **Pipelines** | Batch and streaming modes | | **Experiments** | A/B testing with holdout groups and uplift analysis | | **Journeys** | Multi-step customer engagement workflows | | **Triggers** | Event-driven automation | | **Content management** | Content items, templates, CMS integration | | **Behavioral metrics** | Metric definitions and aggregation | | **Decision traces** | Full decision explainability | | **Computed values** | Formula engine with enrichment and personalization | ## License terms (summary) Your subscription grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use KaireonAI for your own internal business purposes, subject to your plan's decision allowance. This is a plain-language summary; the binding terms are in your commercial subscription agreement. **You may:** * Access the platform through the UI, REST API, MCP server, and official SDKs. * Process your own customer data and integrate KaireonAI with your systems. * Run a licensed on-prem instance **on the Enterprise plan**, within the scope of your agreement. **You may not:** * Copy, publish, distribute, or sublicense the KaireonAI software or its source. * Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source or underlying models, except where that restriction is prohibited by law. * Resell, rent, or provide the platform as a service to third parties without a written reseller agreement. * Exceed your plan's metered decision volume, remove or alter product notices, or circumvent usage metering or access controls. KaireonAI, its name, logos, and marks are proprietary. Nothing in your subscription grants rights to the KaireonAI trademarks — see [Trademarks](/governance-security/trademarks). ## Playground trial limits The hosted **Playground** at `playground.kaireonai.com` is a free, shared sandbox for evaluating the platform before you buy. It enforces a **5,000 lifetime decision cap** per workspace to manage shared-infrastructure costs. * Decisions are counted each time the Recommend API returns a non-empty recommendation set. Empty results do not count. * The cap is lifetime, not monthly — it does not reset automatically. * Playground workspaces run on shared infrastructure and are intended for evaluation, not production traffic. ### Workspace reset If you exhaust your 5,000 trial decisions, you can reset your workspace from **Settings > General > Reset Workspace**. This clears all data (schemas, offers, flows, interaction history) and resets your decision counter to zero. Resetting your workspace permanently deletes all data. Export anything you need before resetting. ### Approaching the limit When your workspace reaches 95% of the 5,000 trial cap (4,750 decisions), the Recommend API response includes a `warning: true` field in the quota metadata. Monitor this field in your integration to anticipate the limit. ### Quota response (429) When the Playground decision limit is reached, the Recommend API returns: ```json theme={null} { "error": "Playground decision limit reached", "code": "PLAYGROUND_QUOTA_EXCEEDED", "usage": { "current": 5000, "limit": 5000 } } ``` Ready for production volume?
