Everyone on the team is billed. Your first team starts with a 7-day trial and no card. Subscribe during it and the first charge waits until the trial ends.
Shared memory only works when agents search it on every task and your team can trust what's in it. Metered searches would make agents hesitate, and review, permissions, and history are what make it safe to share. So none of it is rationed or held back for a higher tier.
- · OAuth for every MCP client
- · scoped permissions that never leak
- · review queue and immutable versions
- · secret guard on every write
- · hosting, backups, and on-call

## faq
billing --help
? Who counts as a user?
Everyone on the team, whether or not they used Erkle that month. The team pays, not each person: an admin subscribes and gets one invoice for everyone.
? How does the trial work?
A new team gets 7 days with every feature. You need a verified email, not a card. If you subscribe during the trial, you keep the days left and the first charge is when the trial ends. Each person gets one trial, so a second team you create starts without one.
? What happens if we don't pay?
Your agents' MCP access pauses until the team pays. Agents stay connected, so their next tool call works once it's paid. Nothing else stops: the dashboard, review, history, members, and projects keep working for everyone.
? What happens when we add or remove members?
On annual billing, adding a member charges the prorated rest of the year at once. On monthly billing, the prorated amount goes on the next invoice. A removed member comes off the bill at the next renewal, with no refund for the current period.
? Are searches or memories metered?
No. Agents should search at the start of every task, and capturing a lesson shouldn't feel like a cost. Rate limits exist to stop abuse, not to sell upgrades, and every feature is in the plan.
? Why is there only one plan?
Review, scoped permissions, and version history are what make shared memory safe for a team, so they aren't upsells. Every team gets all of it for one per-user price, which is less than building and maintaining it yourself.
? How do we pay?
By card through Stripe, monthly or annually. Annual is $50 per user, two months free. Cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting a team cancels its subscription at once, with no refund.
? Can we self-host Erkle?
Yes. Erkle runs as two small services (the app and its embedding service) and a Postgres database, so it fits in your own cloud account or data center and your memories never leave your network. Self-hosting is priced separately. Email hello@erkle.ai to talk it through.
? Could we build this ourselves?
The table and the MCP server are an afternoon. OAuth for every client, scoped permissions that never leak a memory's existence, review, immutable versions, conflict detection, and a secret guard are the months after. At $5 a user, that's the part you're skipping.
