LLM API and AI workspace pricing.
Three tracks. One catalog. Individual & Teams plans, an OpenAI-compatible API with per-token rates and a free tier, and Enclave deployment options for regulated and sovereign environments.
Individual & Teams
For solo developers, teams, and growing organisations.
Bee Cell
Full Bee experience with dynamic fair use - free to start.
Free

Log scale for visibility. Input and output tokens count 1:1 against the pool; Swarm is a contracted baseline.
Individual & Teams pools assume adaptive routing across Cell · Brood · Comb · Buzz · Hive · Swarm. Premium-Swarm output beyond the pool bills at the catalog rate - opt-in per request, no surprise charges. See the FAQ below or compare with the API track if your usage is single-model and high-volume.

One model ladder: Cell to Swarm
Every API plan grants a cumulative entitlement to the same six model IDs listed below. Use the model ID directly in a request; there is no separate API product identity to translate.
Per-model rates - pay for the model you call
One rate for everyone, billed per token. Prepaid packs include 0-10% additional usage credit as pack size increases. Promotional credit is governed separately.
| Model | Direct API model ID | Context | Input / 1M | Output / 1M |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bee-cell | 128K | $0.30 | $1.20 | |
| bee-brood | 256K | $0.60 | $2.40 | |
| bee-comb | 256K | $1.25 | $5.00 | |
| bee-buzz | 256K | $2.50 | $10.00 | |
| bee-hive | 256K | $5.00 | $20.00 | |
| bee-swarm | 1M | $25.00 | $150.00 |
Per-token billing draws from your prepaid wallet. API Free includes Cell; Build extends through Brood; Scale through Comb; API Hive through Hive; API Swarm includes Swarm. Each plan is limited to its published cumulative model ladder.

Common questions
What's a pooled token?+
Input + output tokens both count 1:1 against your monthly allowance. Premium-routed output and overages are billed separately at per-million rates.
Why is the Individual & Teams pool smaller than the API per-million rate would imply?+
Individual & Teams and API price different things. The API bills per token at the current published rate of the model you call (Bee Cell $0.30/$1.20 through Bee Swarm $25.00/$150.00 per 1M), drawn from your credit wallet. Individual & Teams plans bundle model access, retrieval, account administration, support, and their published usage envelope into one flat monthly fee. Shared cross-member context, custom adapters, audit logs, and SSO are shown separately with their actual release state; a plan entitlement never implies general availability.
Do you offer volume discounts on the API?+
Subscription prices and published per-model rates are not discounted. Prepaid packs include 0-10% additional usage credit as pack size increases. Bonus credit offsets eligible metered usage only; it never reduces subscriptions, taxes, committed minimums, or third-party pass-through charges.
What's premium-routed output and when does it bill separately?+
The adaptive router keeps most requests on Cell or Comb (cheap, fast) and only escalates to Hive or Swarm when difficulty/quality scores demand it. The pooled-token allowance assumes this mixed routing. If you opt-into premium routing per request (tools, complex reasoning, Swarm-tier output), the output portion bills outside the pool at the catalog premium rate - listed under each plan in the workspace billing dashboard. There are no surprise charges; you have to opt-in per request.
How does annual billing work?+
Annual billing is available now alongside monthly. You're charged up-front at monthly price × 12 - same per-month cost, with the convenience of one invoice and one renewal date. There's no discount for paying annually; you pick the cadence that fits your finance workflow. Switch cadences any time and we credit unused months on plan changes.
Can I run Bee offline or self-hosted?+
Not today - every Bee tier currently runs on our cloud. Self-hosted and air-gapped deployment are on our roadmap for Enclave (enterprise, arranged per customer); reach out if you need it and we'll announce availability on the changelog.
What's your refund policy?+
Annual plans are refundable pro-rata within 30 days for any reason. Monthly plans cancel at period end. Enterprise contracts follow the executed MSA.
