Pricing & Subscriptions

BinaryCircuits operates on a hybrid freemium model, designed to be flexible and provide value whether you are a hobbyist or a large enterprise. Our model combines:

• A generous Free tier.
• Several subscription tiers for regular users.
• The option to purchase individual, high‑value workflows a la carte.

The core principle is simple:

You pay for access and compilation. The compiled binaries you create are yours to run forever.

All prices below are in GBP (£).

Subscription Tiers at a Glance

Where appropriate, yearly plans are available at a discount (for example, Hobbyist at roughly £90/year, Pro at roughly £290/year).

What Subscriptions Actually Control

Your subscription tier affects:

• How many workflows you can compile or download per month.
• Which marketplace workflows you can access without extra payment (for example, all workflows up to a certain price).
• Support level and response time.

Your subscription does not control:

• Whether compiled binaries you already have will continue to run (they will).
• How many times you can execute a compiled workflow.
• How many servers or machines you can deploy a compiled binary to.

If your subscription changes or expires:

• You keep full use of any binaries you have already compiled or downloaded.
• You may lose access to compile or download new workflows until you re‑subscribe or purchase a la carte.

A La Carte: One‑Time Workflow Purchases

If you don’t want a subscription, or you only need a small number of specific workflows, you can purchase individual workflows directly from the marketplace.

• Price Range: Typically from about £40 to £149 for high‑value workflows.
• Ownership: You receive a permanent right to compile and use that specific workflow under the licence terms.
• Usage: Once compiled, you can run the resulting binary as many times as you like, on as many machines as you like, without additional fees from BinaryCircuits.

This model is ideal if:

• You have a very focused use case (for example, a single AI pipeline).
• You prefer capital expenditure (one‑off purchases) over ongoing subscription costs.
• You want to own a small number of powerful workflows outright.

Choosing the Right Tier

A few rule‑of‑thumb suggestions:

• Just exploring → Start with Free. You can always upgrade later.
• Serious personal use or side projects → Hobbyist is usually enough.
• Consultants, agencies, or small teams → Pro balances cost and value well.
• Automation across a whole company → Business typically makes sense.
• Heavily regulated or very large organisations → Talk to us about Enterprise.

If you are unsure, it’s perfectly fine to start on a lower tier and upgrade if you hit your compilation or access limits. The platform is designed so that moving between tiers does not break your existing workflows; it only affects what you can access and how much you can compile going forward.
