# Pricing (Preview)
Preview pricing approach; details may change before beta/GA.
!!! note
Status: Private preview. If you’d like to help us shape pricing and quotas, contact us to join early access.
---
## Principles
- Transparent and predictable
- Pay for what you use, with clear caps
- Generous free tier for development and small projects
- Easy to export your data at any time (no lock‑in)
---
## Tiers (evolving)
- Developer (Preview): Free during preview; caps for storage/requests/egress.
- Team (Beta): Usage‑based with caps; higher limits and basic support.
- Enterprise (GA): Contract pricing; SSO, audit logs, SLAs.
Exact limits and rates will be published before public beta.
---
## What we meter
We meter a small set of intuitive dimensions:
- Storage at rest (GB‑month)
- API requests and background jobs
- Egress bandwidth (GB)
- Optional: vector index operations (if materially different from standard requests)
During preview, we’ll validate these and publish concrete numbers.
---
## Preview allowances
- Developer (Preview): free within generous caps
- Hard caps to avoid surprise bills; credits or extended free usage for early adopters
Exact caps will be shared in your invite.
---
## Billing and invoicing
- Billing: Stripe.
- Invoices/receipts via Stripe.
- Usage dashboard with monthly breakdowns (beta).
- Payments: cards initially; invoices/P.O. for Enterprise at GA.
---
## Early Access perks
- Input on quotas/pricing/roadmap
- Preview credits or extended free usage
- Migration guidance (self‑hosted ↔ managed)

## FAQs
- When will final pricing be announced?
- Before public beta. We’ll publish limits, unit rates, and example bills.
- Will the open source project remain free?
- Yes. YAMS OSS stays free under its license.
- Can I export my data?
- Yes. Data portability is a design goal; we’ll document export paths ahead of GA.
- How do overages work?
- During preview we’ll use hard caps. In beta/GA, you’ll be able to set caps and alerts to avoid surprise charges.
- Will you support academic/OSS discounts?
- Yes, we plan to offer discounts or credits for qualified academic and non‑profit use.
- What payment methods do you accept?
- Stripe‑supported cards initially; invoicing for Enterprise at GA.
- How do I upgrade/downgrade?
- Plans and limits will be self‑service from the console once available; contact us during preview.
