Plans
Start free with a person or a family. Pay when you simulate more people, more often, or for an organisation. Every run is metered in SSC (simulation credits), and every plan includes SSC each month.
These are proposed plans and prices. Paid plans are not open yet. Access is by approval while we roll out: approved accounts start on the free plan, and organisations reach us through Access.

How runs are charged
You pay for the people you simulate and the steps they take.
Each run costs 5 SSC, plus 0.7 SSC for every million person-steps (one simulated person for one step is one person-step). Run files you keep (snapshots, traces) cost SSC by size, and the built-in AI is charged at its cost. A run that fails costs nothing; a run you stop costs only the steps it ran. One SSC is $0.01 at list price.
| Example run | Scale | SSC | At list price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A family of 4, one week in 10-minute steps | Family | 5.0 SSC | $0.05 |
| A class of 30, one school day | Group | 5.0 SSC | $0.05 |
| A county of 20,000 agents through a 9-day hurricane | City / county | 23.1 SSC | $0.23 |
Add-ons
Add what your work needs.
An add-on unlocks a domain or a service. Its compute is metered in SSC like any run. Sensitive domains, calibration, governance, the API, live feeds and sponsored baselines are for organisations.

|---|---|---|
| A domain add-on (Civic / Policy, Evacuation / Hazard, Family-Structure Culture, Public-Health / Epidemic) | $5 a month | $199 a month |
| A sensitive domain add-on (Election / Campaign, Market / Finance), with governance and audit | — | $499 a month |
| AI authoring | $5 a month | $49 a seat a month |
| Map import | $5 a month | $99 a month |
| Collaboration coming | $5 a month | $99 a month |
| Decision analytics early access | — | $199 a month |
| Ensembles | — | $199 a month |
| Governance and audit | — | $299 a month |
| SDK and API | — | $299 a month |
| Calibration and validation early access | — | $499 a month |
| Live data feeds early access | — | $499 a month |
| Sponsored baselines | — | $999 a month |
Sponsored baselines
A city runs the full model. Its residents run free.
A city, a county or a state publishes its run as a baseline and pays for its residents' runs against it. A family can then rehearse its own plan inside the city's hurricane on the free plan.
Who paysThe organisation that publishes the baseline, from its own SSC.
Who runsAnyone it opens the baseline to, up to the scale it chooses.
What is sharedThe baseline holds totals by area, with small groups hidden. A resident's own run stays in their account: the sponsor sees that a run was charged to it, not the run.
