What every paid tier includes

Theatre live demo

Bundled with the Vertirite Desktop install. Run scenarios on your own laptop, replay or live.

Append-only audit log

Every action signed with cryptographic attribution. Auditor-ready by default.

Mode authority

AUTONOMOUS / CONTROLLED / ESCALATION_REQUIRED / LOCKDOWN. Out-of-band; the AI cannot override.

Approval queue

Web UI + CLI. Optional webhook-out for Slack, Teams, ServiceNow, PagerDuty.

Capability registry

Per-system YAML. Adding a capability is a code-reviewed change, not a runtime toggle.

Mutual TLS + signed JWT

End-to-end auth. Compromised client cert ≠ ability to forge role claims.

Frequently asked

Pricing questions we hear

What does a 60-day pilot cost?

From $5K for a single protected system on the Team tier. From $15K for a small Business pilot (≤10 systems, full compliance reporting). Pilot fees credit toward annual contract if you renew. No commitment to renew.

Do you offer monthly billing or only annual?

Team and Business are monthly by default; annual saves ~17% (effectively two months free). Enterprise is annual only.

What's the difference between Team and Business?

Team is built for a single small fleet — one engineering team, one broker, light compliance reporting. Business adds SSO, multi-fleet, the monthly compliance report (the artifact your auditor signs), and a 24h response SLA. Most regulated-industry pilots start at Business because the audit report is the artifact that justifies the spend internally.

Is there a free hosted tier?

Not for the hosted control plane. The Open Source tier (coming soon) will let you self-host the agent + audit log under BSL 1.1 — free for non-commercial and limited commercial use, source-visible. The hosted-managed product starts at Team.

Can we self-host on our own infrastructure?

Yes — Enterprise tier ships as a self-host Helm chart or Docker Compose stack. We support deploys onto your own AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-prem (RHEL / Ubuntu Server / Windows Server 2019+). The audit log writes to your storage; we never see customer data.

How does Theatre fit into pricing?

Theatre (the live demo + verification engine) is included on every paid tier. On Business and Enterprise it also serves as the per-vertical pre-shipping QA gate — every release of Vertirite has to pass your tenant's scenario suite before we promote.

Do you have a partner / reseller program?

We do not currently. We expect to open one for compliance consultancies and MSPs in 2026 once we have ~10 paying customers. Contact sales if you want to be on the early list.

What if we exceed our protected-system count mid-cycle?

We'll prorate the difference and bump you up at the next renewal. We don't shut systems off mid-term — that defeats the point of a control plane.

Still have questions?

Book a 30-min walkthrough — we’ll show you Theatre on your screen, walk through the scenario closest to your vertical, and answer any pricing or compliance question on the call.
