- Half the Production Agreement price for the first paid year
- Terms signed before day one, so day 60 holds no surprises

Each release is free to run under its included license. For self-hosting, infrastructure costs are paid to your provider separately. Paid agreements are annual only; there is no monthly plan and no usage line on the invoice. Design partner seats start with a short application. We agree one use case, written success criteria, and a named owner on your side, and both sides sign an order form before day one. The seat runs for 60 days. If the criteria are met, we invoice $12k for the following 12 months under those terms; if not, it ends with nothing owed. Production Agreements are signed the same way and invoiced once a year. The agreement covers how Recall behaves on any backend we support. With polign_db as the store, storage-engine support, upgrade help and the recovery runbook are included; a Postgres or Qdrant you run stays yours to operate. Building a service on polign_db that you run yourself is covered by the free license. Handing the software itself to your customers needs the OEM agreement.

What running it actually costs
On polign_db the infrastructure bill is yours, and it is small: these numbers were measured with polign_db's benchmark harness against same-region Amazon S3. Full methodology on the benchmarks page. For a live example, read the case study: one Wikipedia index in S3, from an $11 box to 860 searches a second.
~$3.20
per million searches straight from S3, no index in RAM, no idle servers
~$0.01
per million durable writes through the broker-free S3 log
$0
while a collection sleeps. Nodes are disposable and scale to zero
32×
more vectors in the same RAM with the compressed index, 97.4% recall
