How pricing works

Two lines on one invoice, and the organisation pays both

An organisation is billed for what it runs and for the people who run it, and the organisation pays both lines. There is no package to pick and no base fee: the figure starts at zero and grows continuously.

€0

Free to start

One user and five managed resources cost nothing - no card, no time limit. A free organisation has no AI and no automation, and RoPA records and the audit log (with the auditor role) stay off until it moves to a paid plan. API keys, AI agents and MCP write tools work as on a paid organisation. The first thing you pay for is your sixth managed resource, or your second person.

What the organisation runs

One continuous curve over the estate: how many managed resources the organisation has, how much of running them is handed to automation, and how many people need access beyond the included allowance. Five people and 100 managed resources at standard automation is €299 a month; with no automation €191, with advanced automation €470. Each organisation is priced on its own, and the calculator below describes each separately.

What each person is on

Everyone in a paid organisation holds a personal plan - Plus, Max or Pro, per person per month - and the organisation pays for it. The plan carries AI: every paid one includes a monthly allowance, and going past it costs €1 per 1,000 credits rather than cutting you off. Someone who also needs to read the audit log takes the auditor role, charged on top of that person's plan.

If the money stops: every organisation has a spending ceiling, €20 to begin with, and you can raise it. When it binds, compute is switched off while continuously accruing items such as disks and networks keep being billed. If an invoice goes unpaid we suspend access on the 14th day after it was due and delete the affected resources seven days later. Resources in your own cloud accounts are never deleted. Before anything of ours is torn down we export it as Terraform; that export describes your infrastructure, it is not a backup of its contents, so keep your own backups.

Estimate

Work out your price

Describe each organisation you run - its estate, how much of it runs on its own, and the people in it - and you have your figure. No form, no sales call.

Your organisations

One managed resource = one compute instance, managed database, storage bucket, or DNS zone managed through Sencai.

How much should run on its own?
People, and the plan each of them is on

Everyone in a paid organisation holds a personal plan and the organisation pays for it, so say how many people are on each. There is no cap on how many you add. The headcount the curve above is priced on is this same number - it is counted once, not entered twice.

An auditor is one of the people above who also reads the audit log. The add-on is charged on top of that person's own plan rather than as an extra head, so it never adds anyone to the count. Paid organisations only.

Not included in this figure

  • What your cloud providers charge for the resources themselves. On Sencai-owned accounts we pass that invoice through with 2% added on top, shown as its own line; on your own accounts you pay the provider directly and we add nothing.
  • AI used beyond the allowance included in a person's plan, billed at the same rate the allowance itself is measured at.
  • VAT. Every figure on this page is exclusive of tax.

In every plan

  • EU data residency for platform data and GDPR-aligned processing
  • Plus plan free for 14 days for a new user, no card required
  • Provisioning across 11 cloud providers, plus your own hardware
  • Monitoring and alerting across your whole estate
  • A tamper-evident audit trail on every paid organisation
  • Change your configuration or cancel at any time

This is an estimate, not an offer, and your final price is confirmed before your first invoice. It covers the platform only - cloud resources running on Sencai accounts are billed separately, at what the provider charges plus 2%, under a monthly spending ceiling.

Personal plans

Individuals

A personal plan is what one person gets: AI working inside their account, prepared functions and automations, and - soon - a Playground for building your own workflows. In a paid organisation every member holds one and the organisation pays for it, so the prices below are per person, per month, on the organisation's invoice. Every paid plan includes a monthly AI allowance and lets you keep going past it at the same rate. No plan limits how many organisations you may own, and none of them limits how many people an organisation can have.

Free

What the single member of a free organisation is on, and where an account lands when its trial ends.

A Sencai AI credit is our own unit, not a provider token. It is a fixed amount of money spent on AI (1,000 credits = €1), so what a model costs changes how many tokens a credit buys, never what the credit is worth. The allowance is monthly whether you pay monthly or annually, and every account has a safety ceiling at 4x it so a runaway script cannot produce an unbounded bill.

Auditor add-on: €14.90 per auditor per month, charged to the organisation on top of that person's own plan. An auditor is an existing member who also reads the audit log, never an extra head - and both the audit log and the auditor role exist only in a paid organisation.

A newly registered user gets a 14-day Plus trial in their first organisation. It is granted once per person - not again for a second organisation, and organisations themselves get no trial of their own. Afterwards the account continues on Free unless you decide otherwise. In a paid organisation the organisation pays for its members' plans, so nobody is asked for a card personally; a plan can also be sponsored by another person straight from the profile, on one invoice.

Hosted CI

Hosted CI minutes

Sencai starts a fresh runner for every CI job and removes it when the job ends. Each organisation gets minutes every month; a paid organisation gets more, and pays separately only for the minutes beyond them.

Free organisation

30 minutes a month

A hard cap, renewed every month. When the minutes are used up, new jobs wait until the next month, or until the organisation moves to a paid plan and Sencai has confirmed its payment. A free organisation is never charged for CI.

Paid organisation

1,000 minutes a month

Every member adds minutes on top, by personal plan: 200 on Plus, 500 on Max and 1,500 on Pro. For example, 5 people on Plus get 2,000 minutes a month. Minutes are prorated by the days the organisation and each member are billed in the month.

Beyond the included minutes

€0.016 per minute, excluding VAT

A paid organisation can go on past its included minutes at this price, up to an overage cap that it sets: 1,000 minutes a month unless changed (at most €16 excluding VAT), and anything from 0 to 100,000. With a cap of 0, jobs wait instead of costing more. Overage billing starts: November 2026. Until then, a paid organisation's jobs wait once its included minutes are used up; from then on, extra minutes run and are billed up to the overage cap.

How minutes are counted

  • A job counts from the moment a hosted runner takes it until it ends, including pulling the job image and starting service containers. Each job is rounded up to a whole minute.
  • Waiting in the queue, starting a runner and idle runners never count, and neither do runners you host yourself.
  • Minutes are per calendar month, in Central European time, and unused minutes do not carry over.

When the minutes run out

  • A job that is still running is stopped, and new jobs wait - until the next month, until the overage cap is raised or, for a free organisation, until it moves to a paid plan and Sencai has confirmed its payment.
  • Whoever manages billing for the organisation is notified in the platform and by e-mail as the minutes run low, when they are used up and when the overage cap is reached.

Hosted runners run for organisations Sencai has approved; contact support to request approval for yours. A paid organisation's minutes apply once Sencai has confirmed its payment, and until then the free minutes apply.
