Subscription Plans and Pricing

Understanding Hopsule Subscription Tiers

Hopsule is designed to scale alongside your engineering organization, providing a robust decision and memory layer that preserves organizational judgment. Whether you are a solo developer establishing a personal methodology or a global enterprise managing thousands of critical architectural decisions, our pricing structure is built to reflect the value of context preservation and enforcement. We believe that security is a fundamental right, not a premium luxury; therefore, end-to-end encryption is a baseline guarantee across every plan we offer.

Our plans are categorized into three distinct tiers: Free, Pro, and Enterprise. Each tier provides access to the core Hopsule ecosystem, including the Hopsule Dashboard, Hopsule CLI, and our suite of IDE extensions. As you move from individual exploration to team-wide governance, Hopsule provides the necessary infrastructure to ensure that your decisions remain enforceable and your memories remain immutable. This documentation provides a comprehensive breakdown of the features, limits, and governance capabilities associated with each subscription level.

Plan Comparison Overview

The following table provides a high-level comparison of the primary features available in each Hopsule tier. This overview is intended to help engineering leaders and developers identify the most appropriate level of support for their current project requirements and organizational goals.

The Free Plan: Foundations of Memory

The Free plan is tailored for individual developers and small, agile teams who are beginning to realize the importance of preserving context. It provides full access to the core philosophy of Hopsule: that enforcement is remembrance. Even at this tier, users can utilize the Hopsule CLI and Hopsule for VS Code to ensure their code aligns with established decisions. This plan is ideal for personal projects or proof-of-concept implementations where the primary goal is to establish a disciplined decision-making workflow.

While the Free plan includes the Knowledge Graph (Brain) for visualizing decision relationships, it is subject to certain project and member constraints. Users on this plan can manage up to three active projects and collaborate with up to five team members. Despite these limits, the integrity of your memories is never compromised; the append-only nature of Hopsule ensures that every entry remains a permanent part of your project's history. Hopper is available to assist in drafting decisions, though response times may vary based on system load.

The Pro Plan: Advanced Governance and Analytics

The Pro plan is the standard choice for professional AI teams and engineering organizations that require comprehensive governance without limits. By removing the restrictions on projects and members, the Pro plan allows for the seamless flow of context across an entire organization. This tier introduces advanced analytics within the Hopsule Dashboard, providing leaders with insights into decision velocity, conflict frequency, and memory density. It is designed for teams that treat their architectural decisions as high-leverage assets.

In addition to unlimited projects, Pro subscribers gain priority access to Hopper, ensuring that the AI assistant is always available to suggest improvements or detect contradictions in real-time. This plan also unlocks the Hopsule MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing you to connect external AI agents to your team's decisions and memories. This ensures that even third-party agents remain context-aware and operate within the constraints defined by your human leadership. Priority support ensures that any technical inquiries are addressed with urgency by our engineering team.

The Enterprise Plan: Sovereignty and Compliance

For organizations with stringent security, compliance, and scale requirements, the Enterprise plan offers the highest level of control and authority. The hallmark of this tier is the Self-Hosted deployment option. This allows organizations to run the entire Hopsule stack within their own infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive decisions and memories never leave their controlled environment. This is particularly critical for industries such as finance, healthcare, and defense, where data sovereignty is a non-negotiable requirement.

The Enterprise plan includes a comprehensive suite of administrative features, including Single Sign-On (SSO) integration, detailed audit trails, and compliance reporting. These tools provide VPs of Engineering and CTOs with the oversight necessary to manage governance at scale. Furthermore, Enterprise customers receive a dedicated Success Manager and a custom Service Level Agreement (SLA) for cloud deployments. We also offer custom contract drafting and procurement support to align with your organization's specific legal and financial workflows.

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

Decision Management

Decisions are the first-class entities of Hopsule. In all plans, decisions follow the standard lifecycle: Draft, Pending, Accepted, and Deprecated. However, the Pro and Enterprise plans allow for more complex categorization and tagging, enabling larger teams to filter through thousands of decisions via the Knowledge Graph. Enterprise users also gain access to advanced approval workflows, ensuring that critical decisions undergo the necessary organizational scrutiny before becoming enforceable constraints.

Context Packs (Capsules)

Context Packs, or Capsules, are portable bundles of decisions and memories designed to survive time and system changes. While Free users can create and share Capsules, Pro and Enterprise users can manage a much higher volume of active and frozen Capsules. This is essential for organizations managing multiple microservices or long-term legacy projects where context must be handed off between different teams or generations of developers.

IDE and CLI Enforcement

The Hopsule CLI and Hopsule for VS Code are available to all users. These tools provide the "enforcement" aspect of our philosophy, surfacing warnings when code contradicts an Accepted decision. Pro and Enterprise plans offer enhanced integration capabilities, such as the ability to trigger CI/CD pipeline failures if a commit violates a high-priority decision. This ensures that organizational judgment is not just recorded, but actively upheld during the development process.

API Rate Limits and Usage

The Hopsule API provides programmatic access to your decisions, memories, and Context Packs. To ensure system stability and fair resource allocation, we implement rate limits based on your subscription tier. These limits apply to all endpoints, including those used by custom integrations and third-party tools.

Important: Exceeding your plan's rate limits will result in 429 Too Many Requests responses. Enterprise customers requiring higher throughput can request custom limit adjustments through their dedicated Success Manager.

Storage and Memory Retention

Hopsule is built on an append-only memory model. This means that Memories are never deleted or overwritten; they serve as a permanent record of why decisions were made. Storage limits in Hopsule are measured by the total volume of decisions, memories, and associated metadata preserved within your organization.

• Free Plan: Includes 500 MB of encrypted storage for memories and decision history. This is typically sufficient for several years of solo development.

• Pro Plan: Includes 10 GB of encrypted storage. This accommodates the high-frequency decision-making characteristic of rapidly growing engineering teams.

• Enterprise Plan: Includes 100 GB of encrypted storage (Cloud) or unlimited storage (Self-Hosted, limited only by your own infrastructure).

Tip: You can monitor your current storage usage and memory density through the Account Settings section of the Hopsule Dashboard.

Billing, Upgrades, and Downgrades

Billing Cycles

Hopsule offers both monthly and annual billing cycles. Choosing an annual subscription provides a significant discount compared to the monthly rate. All payments are processed securely, and invoices are generated automatically at the start of each billing period. You can view your billing history and download past invoices directly from the Hopsule Dashboard.

Upgrading Your Plan

1. Navigate to the Settings menu in the Hopsule Dashboard.

2. Select the Billing & Plans tab.

3. Choose the Pro or Enterprise option and click Upgrade Now.

4. Select your preferred billing cycle (Monthly or Annual).

5. Enter your payment details and confirm the transaction.

Upgrades take effect immediately. If you upgrade in the middle of a billing cycle, the cost will be prorated based on the remaining time in your current period.

Downgrading and Cancellation

You may downgrade your plan or cancel your subscription at any time. If you downgrade from Pro to Free, your account will remain on the Pro tier until the end of your current billing cycle. After this period, project and member limits will be enforced. If your current usage exceeds the Free plan limits, you will be required to archive projects or remove members to regain full write access.

Important: Because Hopsule is an append-only system, downgrading will never result in the deletion of your existing decisions or memories. They will remain preserved and readable, but you may be restricted from creating new entries until your account is within the limits of your new plan.

Security and Baseline Guarantees

Security is not an add-on at Hopsule; it is the foundation of our architecture. Every plan, including the Free tier, includes end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for all decisions and memories. This means that data is encrypted on your device before it is sent to our servers, and only authorized members of your organization hold the keys to decrypt it. We utilize TLS 1.3 for data in transit and AES-256 for data at rest.

For Enterprise customers, we provide additional security layers, including SOC 2 Type II readiness reports, advanced audit logging, and the ability to implement custom data retention policies. Our self-hosted option represents the ultimate in security, allowing you to maintain physical and logical control over your decision and memory layer.
