Commercial boundary
Pricing without cloud lock-in.
Acrylic beta is free while the desktop core hardens. The model is simple: charge for product value later, not for rerouting your own provider traffic through someone else's wrapper.
Current beta: free
Bring your own key: supported
Hosted inference markup: none
Paid plans: not live yet
Current
Current beta
Desktop download access, account identity, local-first workflows, and BYOK provider routing on your own machine.

- Auth and recovery flow
- No inference markup
Planned
Pro
A paid layer for heavier product features once the desktop core, billing, and entitlements are production-ready.
- No fake AI tax
- Desktop-first features
- Keeps BYOK as a first-class path
Roadmap
Fleet
Team-oriented rollout for shared policy, deployment control, and collaborative runtime surfaces after the solo desktop loop hardens.
- Team policy
- Shared rollout controls
- Admin-oriented surfaces
What we will charge for
Desktop product value, entitlement layers, polish, and serious workflow features.
Not for taking your key, proxying your prompts, and pretending that counts as innovation.
Commercial stance
AI access
Account-gated, not paywalled today.
Local runtime
Files, keys, and active work stay grounded.
Next step
Ship the beta first. Monetize with discipline later.
