Pricing
ArchPilot CLI and the VS Code extension stay free forever for local, offline, deterministic validation. ArchPilot Cloud turns uploaded architecture metadata into organization dashboards, posture visibility, history, policies, exceptions, and ownership-aware governance workflows.
Start with the free VS Code extension and CLI for architecture validation, then add ArchPilot Cloud when engineering teams need shared software architecture governance.
Local tooling advantage
The VS Code extension and CLI remain a local-first workflow across every Cloud plan, with no hosted scanning dependency.
Included in every plan
Local + Cloud
The free local workflow stays deterministic and offline-capable. Cloud adds the durable organization layer for repository posture, history, policy workflows, exceptions, and team or system ownership.
Local tooling keeps validation close to the code. Cloud gives engineering organizations a shared view of architecture posture across repositories, with history and workflows that are hard to maintain in local-only tooling.
Cloud value
Cloud gives engineering organizations a shared operating layer for architecture posture, repository history, and governance workflows.
Cloud plans
Cloud plans are organization-based. They shape repository capacity, history retention, token limits, and governance depth without using seat-based pricing.
Local CLI and VS Code validation remain free forever.
Choose the Cloud plan for shared dashboards, history, governance workflows, and ownership-aware architecture posture tracking across repositories.
Shared posture visibility for a small repository footprint.
Best for getting started with Cloud dashboards and history tracking.

Packaging notes
Short answers to the questions buyers and engineering leaders usually ask first about CI validation, manual governance upload, automated Cloud sync, and Cloud packaging.
CLI and VS Code remain free forever for local, offline, deterministic validation.
CI validation is available on all plans, and manual governance upload is available on all plans.
Automatic CI-to-Cloud upload on main is included on paid plans, while the Free plan keeps governance upload manual.
Cloud plans are organization-based, with limits and workflows scoped to the organization rather than individual seats.
Team and Growth include a 14-day free trial, with subscription changes synced back into ArchPilot plan records automatically.
FAQ
A quick clarification of the local-first and metadata-only operating model behind Cloud for engineering teams.
No. Local validation remains free forever and does not require an ArchPilot Cloud account.
No. ArchPilot Cloud stores uploaded architecture metadata, findings, summaries, and governance history rather than repository source code.
No. The Free plan includes CI validation and manual governance upload, but automatic CI-to-Cloud upload on main is included on paid plans.
No. Current Cloud packaging is organization-based so repository governance, API token usage, and history limits are scoped to the organization.
Yes. Team and Growth include a 14-day free trial before the paid subscription term begins.
Get started
Choose the Cloud plan that matches your repository footprint, governance workflows, and history needs without changing the local validation model.
