# Pricing

> Builder free tier, Production, and Sovereign plans - credits, usage units, and AI generation pricing.

## Overview

Start free with **Builder** - **500 credits** for your first month. Upgrade to **Production** when those credits run out or the month ends. Scale further with **Sovereign** for native VPC and dedicated deployments.

Manage plans and usage in the [Moorcheh Console](https://console.moorcheh.ai). For custom architecture, email [support@moorcheh.ai](mailto:support@moorcheh.ai).

### Builder (free)

* **500 credits** for the **first month**
* **10k vectors**, shared tenancy, community support
* When **credits run out** or the **month ends** (whichever comes first), you **lose access** until you upgrade to **Production**

<Warning>
  Builder is a one-month free window with a fixed credit pool. Unused credits do not roll over. After credits are exhausted or the month ends, API access stops until you move to Production.
</Warning>

### Production - \$29/month + usage

For scaling agentic workflows with guaranteed SLAs.

* Unlimited vectors
* 99.9% uptime SLA
* Priority support
* Team roles

Deploy from the [Console](https://console.moorcheh.ai).

### Sovereign - Custom

Native VPC deployment via AWS CDK / Terraform.

* Data sovereignty
* Air-gapped options
* Dedicated instances
* Audit logs

## Unit economics

Predictable usage pricing:

**1 Compute Unit = \$0.01**

### Storage & structure

| Item           | Price     |
| -------------- | --------- |
| Vector storage | \$0.00    |
| Namespaces     | \$0.00    |
| Retention      | Unlimited |

Store infinite vectors. Pay only when you search (and for other metered API usage on paid plans).

### API & ingestion

**API requests** cover every authenticated call **except** [Generate AI Answer](/api-reference/ai/generate). Gen AI is billed only with **AI Generation credits** (see below) - it is **not** double-counted as an API request.

| Item         | Units   | Notes                                             |
| ------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| API requests | 5 Units | All non-Gen AI calls - **\$0.05 per 1,000 calls** |
| Ingestion    | 1 Unit  | **\$0.01 per 10 MB** (one-time)                   |

#### What counts as an API request

| Area             | Examples                                                       |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Namespaces       | Create, list, delete                                           |
| Search           | Similarity / semantic search                                   |
| Data             | Upload text or vectors, get documents, delete, fetch text data |
| Files            | Upload URL, list, delete                                       |
| Other management | Health-style or account calls that hit the API (when metered)  |

#### What does **not** count as an API request

| Area                                             | How it is billed                                                      |
| ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Generate AI Answer](/api-reference/ai/generate) | **AI Generation credits only** (1, 2, or 3 credits per call by model) |

### AI Generation credits

Gen AI calls are charged **only** by the credit tier of the model you use. They are **not** charged again under API requests. Pricing includes embedding, retrieval, and generation for that answer call.

| Credits   | Units   | Models                                                   |
| --------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 credit  | 1 Unit  | DeepSeek R1 · Qwen3 Next 80B A3B                         |
| 2 credits | 2 Units | Amazon Nova Pro · DeepSeek V3.2 · Qwen 3 32B             |
| 3 credits | 3 Units | Claude Sonnet/Opus 4.6 · Llama 4 Maverick · GPT OSS 120B |

See [AI Generation](/guides/ai-generation) and the [Generate AI Answer API](/api-reference/ai/generate) for model details.
