Billing BETA(paid plans live; overage not yet billed)
Paid plans are live: upgrade through Stripe Checkout, manage your subscription in the customer portal, and your plan updates automatically after payment. Metered overage charging is not yet enabled -- see below.
Exceed your limit? COMING SOON
Free: Actions are blocked at the limit today. Solo and Teams: planned overage rates are $10 per 100K (Solo) and $8 per 100K (Teams) additional actions. Overage usage is metered but not yet charged -- until metered billing ships, paid plans keep running past the included amount at no extra cost.

Deploy the platform on-premises via Docker Compose. Seat-based licensing with offline validation. Some surfaces (browser extension, hosted MCP, Scout) ship as they reach self-managed parity.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account to start?
No. The SDK and gateway proxy can run in Local mode (no backend required), with or without an account. You get policy enforcement and audit logging locally. Create an account to unlock the dashboard, audit log viewer, blueprints, and policy builder UI.
Can I use the SDK and gateway proxy on the free tier?
Yes. Both integration paths are available on every tier, including free. The same action limits apply regardless of which path you use.
What counts as an action?
Each AI request that passes through the Control Zero gateway, SDK, browser extension, or coding hook counts as one action. This includes tool calls, LLM requests, and policy evaluations.
What happens if I exceed my monthly limit?
On the Free tier, actions are blocked at the limit. On Solo and Teams, your agents keep running past the included amount and you receive an alert. Metered overage charging (a planned $10/100K for Solo and $8/100K for Teams) is coming soon and is not billed yet -- until it ships, over-limit usage on paid plans is metered but not charged. You can upgrade at any time.
Is there an annual discount?
Yes. Annual billing saves 10% compared to 12 months of monthly on Solo and Teams tiers. Toggle "Yearly" on the pricing cards to see the effective monthly rate, or select annual at checkout.
What surfaces does Control Zero cover?
Control Zero governs AI across multiple surfaces: SDK integration (Python with 11+ framework integrations, plus Node.js and Go in beta), gateway proxy (zero-code, supporting Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, DeepSeek, and more), coding agent hooks (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, and more), MCP server for AI coding assistant integration (including Windsurf), and Scout agent for shadow AI discovery. Browser extension is coming soon.
How does Local mode work without an API key?
You define policies in a local JSON file. The SDK loads them from disk instead of fetching from the backend. Policy evaluation happens entirely in your process. No network calls. If a policy signature fails verification, the SDK fails closed and denies all requests.
Start governing in under 60 seconds.
No credit card. No sales call. Install the SDK and connect to the dashboard.
