Scope of Truth Pricing
Free Core, usage credits, and Enterprise Controls.
ClariLayer keeps the core metric lifecycle open: define, release, observe, collaborate, and connect without feature-tier gates. Action-style AI, validation, catalog, deploy, and rollback usage scales through credits, while selected enterprise controls remain sales-managed.
Public launch
Free Core
Core metric lifecycle capabilities are available without feature tiers so teams can start governing metrics immediately.
- Define, release, observe, and collaborate on governed metrics
- Workspace collaboration, roles, approvals, and Notes
- Basic API keys and connectors for active product use
- 5,000 monthly free credits per workspace
- Monthly credits reset with no rollover
Metered usage
Usage Credits
Usage beyond the free monthly grant runs on credits. Self-serve credit packs are available from billing settings after signup.
- AI conversations, summaries, catalog refreshes, validations, deploys, and rollbacks are credit-metered
- API contract reads remain observe-only during beta
- Launch, Growth, and Scale packs are available through Stripe Checkout
- Committed credits are handled through sales-led agreements
- Low-balance warnings and receipts are visible in billing settings
Sales-managed
Enterprise Controls
Selected security, compliance, admin, and lifecycle controls remain Enterprise-only as ClariLayer becomes infrastructure.
- SSO/SAML, SCIM, and advanced identity administration
- Advanced integrations and admin controls
- Audit export, log retention, and data lifecycle controls
- Committed-credit terms, security review, and support commitments
- Migration planning for existing paid subscribers
Capability Model
Core capabilities stay available; usage and controls scale.
Free Core is for real product use. Credits capture variable AI and automation usage, while Enterprise Controls cover the security and compliance depth that needs a shared rollout plan.

Free Core credit posture
Every workspace receives 5,000 free credits each month. Paid credit packs are available from billing settings, and committed credits remain sales-led for larger rollouts.
Public registration is open through the Free Core signup path, with revenue-safety throttles and an emergency activation disable switch still available.
Self-serve credit packs are available to workspace admins from billing settings; committed credits remain sales-led.
API reads remain observe-only during beta. Action-style AI, warehouse, validation, deploy, and rollback usage can debit credits.
If a metered action fails after a debit, the reversal appears in the wallet receipt trail.
Existing customers will receive migration communication before any subscription or credit transition action.
Credit Consumption
Credits are spent on action-style AI and automation work.
Free monthly credits are consumed before paid or committed credits. Normal reads, comments, approvals, Notes, and API contract reads stay in Free Core during beta.

Expansion Path
Start with Free Core, expand through usage and controls.
Beta teams can prove the governed metric workflow first. As agents, dashboards, and internal systems depend on the Canonical Metric API, credits and Enterprise Controls create a commercial path without closing off core capabilities.
