Cuttlefish is the control plane organizations put between their people, their AI models, and their real systems. It is not a productivity app or a per-seat chat tool — it is the infrastructure that governs what AI is allowed to do across your environment, captures proof of every action, and keeps spend under control. Pricing reflects that control plane.
Cuttlefish is offered to organizations, and the Founders offer is billed monthly in USD. You bring your own AI model keys or run models locally — Cuttlefish governs how they are used and never marks up tokens.
The capability — any model, the real computer, building apps, autonomous work — is the easy part. What an organization pays for is the operational control around it: who can do what, against which systems, with what proof, and at what cost.
AI reaches your tools, data, browser, and internal systems only through governed capabilities — classified, approval-aware, and scoped — never as a raw toolbox handed to a model. You decide what is read-only, what needs sign-off, and what is off-limits.
Every consequential action is approved and recorded in a tamper-proof trail: what was done, who approved it, what changed, and where results went. Administrators get audit-ready, read-only views instead of trusting a chat transcript.
Bring your own model providers and keep your own rates — Cuttlefish never marks up tokens — while administrators set budgets, meter usage by team, and keep AI spend predictable across the organization.
Our initial public offer is for organizations. One monthly price covers your first five people; you add members as your organization needs them. Larger managed Enterprise contracts are negotiated separately.

Operational control. The AI capability — any model, the real computer, building apps, autonomous work — is part of Cuttlefish. What you pay for is the control plane around it: governed access to your systems, approvals and proof, identity and administration, and spend control across your organization.
No. Model freedom is bring-your-own: connect your own provider keys, or run models locally, and pay those providers directly for what you use. Cuttlefish governs how models are used and never marks up tokens.
Organizations. Cuttlefish is offered as an Enterprise product, and there is no personal plan. Your administrators manage members, identity, and connected systems for the organization.
Larger managed Enterprise contracts are negotiated separately, with terms agreed directly with our team. Contact sales to start that conversation.
Monthly, in USD. Cuttlefish Founders is $499 a month including five human members, and each additional member you purchase is $79 a month. Purchasing is arranged with our team; there is no online checkout.
Yes. Most organizations start with a short pilot that maps one real environment, turns on governed capabilities, and proves the approval and proof flow before rolling out. Request a pilot and we will scope it with you.
Tell us about your organization and how your teams use AI, and we will set up Founders for the members you need — or scope a larger managed Enterprise contract.
