Per agent under management. Humans ride free. Actions are never metered.

Priced so you gate everything.

One rate per agent, set by the size of your fleet. Your first agent is free, forever. An agent that did nothing in a month is not billed for it.

Every agent gets the whole product: same gate, same ledger, same rules. Bands change the rate, nothing else.

Already paying for five agents? See what a fleet costs.

Humans ride free.

Approvers, operators, auditors: unlimited people, $0, forever. Charging per seat would tax the oversight that makes agents safe.

Never per action.

Metered safety invites selective safety: you gate only what feels risky, and the mistake arrives through the corridor you skipped. Flat per agent, unmetered actions.

    The unit on the invoice, defined once so there is nothing to negotiate later.

    The audit is the budget.

    Every plan writes the same hash-chained ledger. On every plan it is audit evidence: incident dossiers mapped to ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF, the two frameworks 36% and 33% of survey respondents already cite as shaping their responsible AI practice (Stanford AI Index 2026). Evidence for the audit you already have to pass, not a new line item. See the mapping →

    See it in action

    Three things the gate did in the demo workspace this week, and what each one cost: nothing extra.

    A PAYMENT · HELD, THEN UNDONE
    ProcurementBot: pay Meridian Consulting LLC $48,200
    Held, risk 65. New beneficiary. 4.7× this vendor category's normal payment. Routed to the approver.
    Approved by You. $1 canary clears first, then the balance.
    Reversed 40 minutes later. $48,200 restored, in the ledger.
    A CAMPAIGN · HELD, THEN REJECTED
    Growth agent: send 6,200 emails, "20% off annual plans"
    Held, risk 80. Mass communication. Subject contains a financial commitment.
    Rejected by Maya Chen. "Campaign copy not signed off." Nothing sent.
    The agent reads the reason and re-plans. The next attempt arrives with the sign-off attached.
    A DELETE · SNAPSHOT FIRST
    Support triage: delete 1,240 inactive customer records
    Held, risk 70. Bulk destruction. Snapshot taken automatically before anything runs.
    Approved. 1,240 rows deleted, snapshot kept.
    Restored from the snapshot when a customer turned out to be active.

    Real entries from the demo workspace. Your ledger will hold your own.

    IN DEVELOPMENT

    Gate today. Insure tomorrow.

    Every gated action is a row in the first actuarial table for agent risk: what was attempted, what was held, what it would have cost. When the table is deep enough, the same ledger prices agent liability cover for the fleets that run through Ripcord. You keep the gate; the premium follows the record.

    • Your ledger is the underwriting file
    • Clean fleets pay less
    • Nothing to install beyond the gate you already run
    • Offered with a licensed carrier, not by us

    Common questions

    When does billing start?

    After the first week. Every new agent runs its first seven days in shadow mode: scored and recorded, nothing gated, nothing charged. Billing starts when you flip it to enforce, or on day eight, whichever comes first. The first agent stays free forever.

    Can I try Ripcord before paying?

    Yes, twice over. One agent is free forever with the full engine. And every agent you add gets a free shadow week before it bills.

    What happens when I cross a band?

    The whole fleet moves to the cheaper rate, not just the new agents. Add agent number eleven and all eleven drop from $99 to $79. Nothing else changes: the product is the same at every size, only the rate and the support level move. Bands are checked at the start of each billing month.

    Can I switch plans, or remove agents?

    Any time. The plan follows your agent count, so removing agents lowers the bill at the next monthly cycle. And you do not have to remove an agent to stop paying for it: an agent with no action in a billing month is dormant, and is not billed for that month. The Fleet page shows which ones are. Yearly billing gives two months free and locks the band you are in.

    Does the price depend on which model or lab my agents use?

    No. An agent is an agent whether it runs on Claude, GPT, Gemini or your own weights. The gateway treats them the same, and so does the invoice.
