Evaluating before an annual contract? Most teams start with a scoped pilot or design-partner engagement, then convert to an annual In-VPC contract once the first governed workflow is running.

If model calls, tool payloads, or audit records need to stay inside your environment, choose In-VPC instead.

AxonFlow Plugin Pro — $9.99 USD for 90 days of Pro tier service. After 90 days your tenant returns to the Free tier (3-day audit retention, 200 events/day). To continue Pro, re-purchase — there's no recurring charge and no auto-renewal.

What each limit means and why it matters

Feature Free Plugin Pro
Governed events per day 200 2,000
Every policy check and audit log entry counts as one event. A single tool invocation typically uses two events (one pre-check, one audit write). Free covers roughly 1–2 hours of active coding; Pro covers a full workday. Resets at midnight UTC.
Burst rate limit 25 / min 200 / min
Prevents a single tenant from overwhelming the shared infrastructure. Free allows comfortable interactive use at 25 requests per minute; Pro raises this to 200 per minute so batch operations and rapid tool sequences flow without interruption.
Audit retention 3 days 30 days
How long your audit log entries, policy decisions, and tool call records are kept. Free gives you enough to debug recent sessions; Pro retains 30 days of history so you can review decisions from weeks ago, spot patterns, and track policy changes over time.
Decision history 24h, 5 per page 30 days, 100 per page
The GET /api/v1/decisions endpoint returns your recent policy decisions with matched rules, risk levels, and override status. Free shows the most recent 5 from the last day; Pro gives a 30-day window with up to 100 results per page — useful for weekly reviews and compliance audits.
Custom tenant policies 4 active Up to 50
Tenant-scoped governance rules you create to match your project — for example, “block writes to ~/.ssh/” or “require approval for any rm -rf”. These run alongside the platform’s 75+ built-in rules (PII detection, SQL injection, etc.) which are always active on every tier. Free lets you validate the pattern; Pro gives room for project-wide coverage.
HITL approvals 2 per 7 days 20 per week
Human-in-the-loop approval requests let you gate sensitive operations (production deploys, file deletions, API key rotations) behind explicit human sign-off before the agent proceeds. Free lets you validate the workflow; Pro gives enough capacity for daily use across multiple projects.
LLM cost pre-flight Available
Preview the estimated token cost of a multi-step plan before it runs. Returns input/output token estimates, total cost in USD, and per-step breakdown. Helpful when a complex refactor or multi-file analysis could consume unexpected LLM credits.
Read tools All included All included
Audit search, decision explainability (why was this blocked?), session override listing, and tenant identity tools are available on every tier. These are read-only operations that help you understand what AxonFlow is doing — they don’t count against any write quota.

Pricing FAQs

What is the primary pricing model?

Our primary enterprise motion is self-hosted / In-VPC pricing. It is based on deployment and node capacity, because regulated teams usually want the control layer running inside their own environment.

When should we use managed SaaS?

Use managed SaaS for fast pilots, dev/test environments, or teams that do not need customer-managed deployment. SaaS is request-based and starts at $5K/month.

Do you offer annual contracts?

Yes. In-VPC Professional is $240K/year and In-VPC Enterprise is $720K/year. Enterprise Plus is custom for larger, air-gapped, or multi-region deployments.

Can I start with a pilot and upgrade?

Yes. Most teams start with a scoped pilot or design-partner engagement, prove one or two governed workflows, and then convert to an annual In-VPC contract.

How is SaaS usage calculated?

Managed SaaS usage is counted at the governed-request layer. Every policy evaluation, permission check, and orchestration request counts as one request. Health checks and internal metrics do not count.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Volume, multi-year, design-partner, and strategic deployment discounts are handled through custom enterprise agreements.

Is AWS Marketplace billing available?

Yes, for Enterprise tier customers. Pay through AWS Marketplace and apply to your AWS commit. Setup fee: $2K one-time.

What's your refund policy?

For team and enterprise plans: full refund within first 4 weeks if we don't deliver a production-ready workflow meeting your requirements. After that, 30-day notice to cancel monthly contracts. For Plugin Pro, see the 14-day no-questions-asked refund policy.

What happens if I exceed my managed SaaS request limit?

We notify you before you hit the limit. SaaS overages are priced by tier, or you can move to a larger SaaS tier or an In-VPC enterprise contract.

Is Plugin Pro a subscription? Will I be auto-charged?

No. Plugin Pro is a one-time $9.99 USD payment for 90 days of Pro tier service. There's no recurring charge and no auto-renewal — we don't store your card. When the 90 days end, your tenant returns to the Free tier (3-day audit retention, 200 events/day). To continue Pro, re-purchase.
