Plans and trials

Task Machine subscriptions belong to a workspace. You choose a plan after setting up the workspace's goal, first playbook, and autonomy defaults, so the decision reflects the work you intend to run.

Choose how your work runs

The final onboarding step compares Local, Growth, and Scale with monthly and yearly billing. Prices include applicable taxes. Stripe collects payment details in a hosted checkout, and Task Machine never handles your card details.

Local runs agents on machines you connect. It costs $29 per month or $319 per year in USD, and €39 per month or €429 per year in EUR. Local includes no managed model credit and no cloud workers. Model usage through tools on your own machine remains subject to the accounts and limits you configure there.

Growth includes two cloud workers and costs $249 per month or $2,699 per year in USD, and €319 per month or €3,499 per year in EUR. After the trial, each billing period includes $75 or €75 of managed model credit.

Scale includes five cloud workers and costs $649 per month or $7,199 per year in USD, and €799 per month or €8,799 per year in EUR. After the trial, each billing period includes $250 or €250 of managed model credit.

A cloud worker is one slot for active cloud work. It is shared Task Machine capacity rather than a dedicated computer, and idle workers do not keep a task process running. Additional workers cost $99 or €119 per month. Annual subscribers pay $948 or €1,188 per year for each additional worker. Every worker draws from the workspace's same model-credit balance.

Owners and administrators can add a worker from Workers, Billing, or a capacity reminder in the Inbox. Each route shows the same recurring amount and proration notice before changing the subscription. The added worker becomes another recurring line item on the existing workspace subscription, starts immediately after Stripe accepts the change, and follows that subscription's current billing interval. It does not open a second hosted Checkout.

The Workers page separates paid capacity into Active, Waiting, and Idle counts. When every paid worker has demand, Workers warns that capacity is fully in use. If another task or chat waits behind those workers — including a scheduled task whose start time has passed — Task Machine marks the affected task, strengthens the Workers warning, and can raise one current workspace-level Inbox reminder. Adding capacity resolves every copy of that reminder after Stripe confirms the subscription update; dismissing it suppresses repeats until new work creates a later contention episode. A purchased worker adds capacity but does not automatically change an agent's worker assignment.

The trial starts with your selected plan

Your selected plan starts with a seven-day trial. A first workspace pays a one-time $1 or €1 signup fee during Checkout. An eligible second or later workspace has that fee waived, but it still completes the same Checkout and provides a payment method. The selected recurring price is never discounted by the additional-workspace waiver.

Growth and Scale trials include at most $25 or €25 of managed model credit. Local trials include no managed model credit. This trial allowance replaces the plan's normal included credit until the trial ends. If you continue, the remaining trial allowance expires and the first paid billing period receives the plan's normal included amount. Purchased credit is separate and does not expire during that transition.

Cancel before the seventh day ends to avoid the recurring plan charge. If you continue, Stripe starts the monthly or yearly subscription you selected during onboarding. Returning to Checkout or retrying after an interruption reuses the current attempt where possible, so a repeated click does not create a second trial entitlement.

Model credit keeps spending bounded

Managed model work uses prepaid credit. Included credit resets with the plan's billing cycle and does not roll over. Credit you purchase remains available until it is used. Growth and Local top-ups use the standard markup, while Scale top-ups use the lower Scale rate. Every top-up has a $10 or €10 minimum and a fixed processing fee.

Task Machine stops new managed model work when the workspace balance reaches zero. There is no postpaid model bill. A top-up enables future work, but it does not resume an agent run that already failed because the balance was exhausted.

Included credit is a starting allowance rather than a promise of a full month of continuous model use. Model choice, prompt size, tool use, and the amount of work all affect how quickly it is consumed. You can see the included and purchased balances separately in workspace Billing.

Private-beta boundaries remain visible

Plan names, prices, worker allowances, and included credit are provisional during the private beta. Cloud workers use a standard resource envelope and shared container isolation, so unusually large builds, high browser concurrency, and workloads that need dedicated hardware may not fit. Local remains the better choice when work depends on software, files, or accounts that exist only on your own machine.

Subscriptions and worker capacity are isolated per workspace. Buying a plan for one workspace does not grant workers or model credit to another. Each additional workspace completes its own plan selection and Checkout.

From here, Onboarding explains the setup that leads to plan selection, while Budgets and retries covers the operational limits you can place around agent work.
