Billing & plans

One subscription for every machine. Your monthly plan fee becomes usage credit, machines are billed per second at their listed rates, and anything past the credit is billed on the same invoice.

Accounts already on an earlier seat plan keep that plan and its terms. This page describes the current plans, which every new account starts on.

Free trial

• A card and a verified email are needed to start your first machine. The card is not charged then.
• The first 7 days are free, with up to $20 of usage on Starter terms (5 machines awake at once). At $20 your machines are put to sleep with their disks kept, and new starts are refused until the plan begins. Agent boxes are the exception: they keep running and can wake for 3 more days, free.
• Maritime emails you two days before day 7, and when the $20 cap is reached.
• Cancel within the week and you pay nothing.
• Otherwise $20 (the Starter fee) is charged on day 7 and becomes that month's usage credit. Usage above it is billed extra.
• Upgrading during the trial ends the free trial and charges the new plan's fee that day.
• One free trial per account, card and email: a card or email that already had one starts Starter right away.

Plans

Every plan fee becomes usage credit, one for one: a $100 Growth plan gives you $100 of usage each month. Every plan pays the same rates. Plans differ by how many machines can be awake at once. Unused credit does not roll over to the next month.

• Starter: 7-day free trial, up to $20 of usage; Card to start, not charged during the trial; $20 of usage included every month; Then billed per second at hourly rates; 5 machines awake at once.
• Growth: $100 of usage included every month; 25 machines awake at once; Windows desktops; Cost per end user.
• Scale: $500 of usage included every month; 60 machines awake at once; Windows desktops; Cost per end user.
• Dedicated: $5,000 of usage included every month; 500 machines awake at once; Swarm runs up to 10,000 sandboxes; Your apps and images set up for you: Windows, Android, legacy desktop apps; Residential and static IPs, private networks and security groups; BAA and DPA; An onboarding call and a named engineer.
• Enterprise: Dedicated hosts; BAA, DPA and invoicing; Custom limits and a named engineer. Contact us.

Dedicated has no free trial: choosing it charges $5,000 at checkout, by card or US bank debit, and the fee becomes that month's usage credit. It adds custom work (custom IPs, security groups, Windows images, Android), scoped on an onboarding call after purchase, and swarm runs of up to 10,000 sandboxes. Pick it on the Billing page or book a call. Enterprise is contract pricing and invoicing, arranged with sales.

Awake at once is how many machines may run at the same time. Sleeping machines do not count. Plans include no model credits; see Model calls.

How the bill works

Every machine type draws from one usage credit, metered per second, and lands on one invoice.

• Each billing month starts on the day your plan started (day 7 of the free trial). That day's invoice charges the coming month's fee, which becomes its usage credit, and the past month's usage beyond its credit.
• Sandboxes and computers are billed per second at their hourly rate while awake, with no minimum. Asleep, they are billed only for their disk, per GB-month. An agent box is billed per second at its monthly rate, awake or asleep.
• All usage draws from the credit. Usage past it is billed at the same rates. After the free trial there is no ceiling on it; your plan's awake-at-once limit, and sleeping or deleting machines, keep it in check.
• The invoice shows the plan fee and one usage line counted in cents, "Maritime Usage, N × $0.01". The breakdown by machine type is on the Billing page in the dashboard.
• Upgrading charges the prorated difference that day and adds it as credit; returning to a plan already paid for this month costs nothing. Downgrading takes effect at once with no refund: the lower awake limit applies that second, this month's credit stays, and the lower fee is charged from the next renewal.

Rates

The same on every plan. Machines are billed per second. A month and a GB-month are 730 hours.

Disk is included while a machine is awake. Each agent you deploy runs in an agent box and is billed as one. Machines run on demand; always on is not sold on these plans.

Sandboxes and swarm sandboxes take any size from 1 to 16 vCPU, 1 to 64 GB of memory and 5 to 500 GB of disk, billed at the rates above; disk is included. A swarm sandbox runs at exactly its run's requested vCPU and memory. The four presets, at list price per hour running:

An agent box has 2 to 8 GB of memory and 1 vCPU. Memory is billed in 2 GB blocks, rounded up. At list price per month, awake or asleep, with 5 GB of disk included:

For more vCPU, create the agent box with maritime create --cpu or the vcpus field of the create API; the price depends only on memory and disk. Its disk starts at 5 GB and goes up to 100 GB. Larger machines are on request; contact us.

Add-ons

The current plans bill machines and disk only; no add-on has a charge of its own. Static and residential IPs need a paid plan (not the free trial) and a verified email, and cost nothing extra for now. Private networks work on any plan at no charge. A warm pool is billed as the machine time of its spare machines, and a swarm as its sandboxes, with no swarm fee. Dedicated hosts are quoted on Enterprise. The add-ons that are not built yet are marked so. The list is on Add-ons.

Estimate your bill

The calculator on the pricing page quotes every plan for the usage you expect and marks the cheapest one. Every charge, add-ons and AI credits included, is in one table under Your bill.

Model calls

Plans include no model (LLM) credits. Your machines can call any model provider directly with your own key, and Maritime does not bill those calls.

The Maritime model proxy (one OpenAI-compatible key for OpenAI models, with a budget per agent) is paid from prepaid AI credits, separate from your plan credit, at the provider's list price with no markup. New accounts start with none: buy them on the Billing page in the dashboard (AI credits, Add credits), from $5, in a one-off payment of its own. When they run out, proxy calls are refused until you add credits or give the agent your own OpenAI key. With your own OpenAI key, calls go to OpenAI on your key and use no AI credits.

Failed payments

If a charge fails, new starts are refused (the API returns 402payment_required) and awake machines are put to sleep at once. Files are kept and disk is still billed. Maritime emails you. Pay the open invoice on the Billing page (Pay now), or let Stripe's retry pay it, and machines can start again. There is no grace period on these plans; earlier seat plans keep theirs. A disputed charge pauses the account the same way until the dispute is resolved.

Watching spend

The Billing page in the dashboard shows this month's usage against your credit, the next charge and its date, the card on file, and every invoice with a PDF receipt. Your first plan, or a plan after cancelling, opens Stripe Checkout, which shows the amount before anything is charged. On an active plan, plan changes and cancelling happen on the Billing page directly, with no Checkout step. A plan change applies at once; a cancelled paid month runs to its end.
