How Pricing Works
BrainRoad charges for the private Business Brain and the hosted workspace your AI helper works from: your files, notes, customer history, templates, rules, review history, and the isolated infrastructure that keeps all of it running. Managed model use is prepaid and bounded; it cannot create a postpaid overage (see Model Costs Explained).
There is one paid plan: Pro at $29/month. Every account starts with a one-time 30-day trial. There is no permanent free tier and no annual plan.
Starter (30-Day Free Trial)
Starter starts automatically when you sign up. No credit card is required. It is the real hosted product, not a preview:
- Your private Business Brain: upload files, notes, and business context your helper works from
- A hosted AI helper workspace with dashboard, browser, and console access
- A named helper with its own managed agent mailbox
- The Inbox review step: customer-facing drafts wait for your approval before anything sends
- Templates and the setup wizard
- $5 of BrainRoad-managed model use, already configured (details in What Happens During Your Trial)
When the 30 days end, your helper is paused until you upgrade. Your Brain, files, settings, and review history are preserved for a limited time (see the trial page for exactly what happens).
Pro
$29/month.
Pro keeps everything from Starter running and adds:
- Your helper workspace continues for as long as your subscription is active
- Both sister helper runtimes (OpenClaw and Hermes) stay available under one subscription
- $5 of managed model use that refreshes each calendar month and does not roll over
- Optional $10 prepaid top-ups that add $11 of managed value and never expire, limited to four per UTC calendar month
- An optional agent phone number for text messages (SMS). This is a Pro-only add-on that is manually provisioned and text-only; outbound texts go through your review step like other customer-facing messages
- If you return after a lapse, your helper resumes with the same settings, Brain, files, and review history (as long as the workspace has not been archived)
Included managed value is consumed before purchased value. When the managed balance reaches zero, new model work pauses; BrainRoad never converts it into postpaid usage. Your Business Brain, settings, and review history remain intact. Add a prepaid top-up or use a supported provider key from advanced settings to continue.
