BYOK stands for Bring Your Own Key. You paste your API key into the Solace Browser. The key is stored locally, encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and never sent to our servers.

Do you store my data?

On Free and Starter plans, evidence stays local. On Pro, evidence is synced to cloud storage encrypted and retained for 90 days. You can export or delete at any time.

What happens after I cancel Pro?

You drop back to Free immediately. Local evidence remains. Cloud evidence is available for download for 30 days after cancellation.

Can I export my data?

Yes, always. Every evidence bundle is self-contained with manifest.json, actions.json, and SHA-256 hash chain.

What is an evidence receipt?

A tamper-evident record of what was approved, what ran, and the output. Each receipt is SHA-256 hashed and chained.

What counts as a task?

One task = one recipe execution. Recipe replays cost $0.001 and do not count against limits.

Why is Pro $28/month?

We never host your compute. The $28 covers cloud sync, vault hosting, REST API, and 90-day Part 11 evidence retention.

Pricing That Rewards Repeatable Work

Solace is built around a simple idea: once a workflow becomes a reusable recipe, the value should go up and the repeat cost should go down.

What isBYOK?

Bring Your Own Key — use your Anthropic, OpenAI, or other API key directly. We pass your request straight through with zero markup. You pay your provider's rate exactly. Your key is stored in your local vault, encrypted with AES-256-GCM. It never touches our servers.

If you prefer not to manage an API key, the Starter plan ($8/mo) includes managed LLM routing through Together.ai (Llama 3.3 70B at $0.59/M tokens) with a 20% markup on actual token cost.

Overage Pricing

Daily limits reset at midnight UTC. Overages are charged per task beyond your plan's daily limit.

$0.001

per task beyond daily limit

Free and Starter plans only. Pro, Team, and Enterprise have unlimited e-signs — no overages.

$0.001/task

recipe replay (saved automation) cost

Recipes run with Claude Haiku. 99% cheaper than a fresh LLM call. Replay replaces the LLM on the hot path.

Why the Model Is Different

Local-first

You can start with zero cloud dependency

Free gives teams a serious local-first on-ramp. If your workflow belongs on your own machine, you can keep it there.

Managed when you need it

Pay for convenience, not lock-in

Pro and Enterprise add managed routing, synced evidence, and operational support without turning your browser into a black box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Transparent answers. No marketing spin. New to the terminology? See ourGlossary.

What is BYOK?: BYOK stands for Bring Your Own Key. You paste your Anthropic, OpenAI, Together.ai, or other provider API key into the Solace Browser. The key is stored locally in your vault, encrypted with AES-256-GCM. It is never sent to our servers. Every LLM call goes from your machine directly to your provider — we take zero cut. If you do not want to manage a key, the Starter plan ($8/mo) handles it for you at a 20% markup on actual token cost.
Do you store my data?: On the Free and Starter plans, evidence stays local — nothing is sent to our servers unless you explicitly export it. On Pro, evidence is synced to cloud storage (encrypted, PZip-compressed at 66:1 ratio) and retained for 90 days. Team retains 1 year. Enterprise retention is unlimited. You can export or delete your evidence bundle at any time from the dashboard. We do not train on your data.
What happens after the Pro trial ends?: There is no trial period — Pro is $28/month from day one with no lock-in. If you cancel, you drop back to the Free plan immediately. Your locally stored evidence and recipes remain on your machine. Cloud evidence synced during Pro is available for download for 30 days after cancellation, then deleted.
Can I export my data?: Yes, always. Every evidence bundle is a self-contained folder: manifest.json, actions.json, and an optional SHA-256 hash chain file. On Free you export manually from ~/.solace/outbox/. On Pro, the dashboard provides one-click export as PDF + JSON. On Enterprise, export bundles include a regulatory-format attestation that satisfies FDA Part 11 Architected requirements.
What is an evidence receipt?: Every task Solace runs produces an <strong>evidence receipt</strong>: a tamper-evident record of exactly what was approved, what ran, and what the output was. Each receipt is SHA-256 hashed and chained to the previous one — editing any past record breaks the chain and is detectable. The receipt answers the question <em>what did the AI actually do?</em> — the minimum bar for regulated workflows and FDA Part 11 Architected compliance.
What counts as a task?: One task = one recipe execution. Opening Gmail, triaging 50 emails, and archiving 12 is one task. A task can contain hundreds of browser actions but counts as a single execution. Free tier allows 5 tasks/day. Starter and above are unlimited.
Why is Pro $28/month?: Cloud twin runs 24/7 on Google Cloud Run, executing scheduled recipes (e.g., daily Gmail triage) even when your laptop is closed. That infrastructure costs real money. Pro also includes 90-day evidence retention, OAuth3 vault sync, and priority support.
