Pricing
Free during the private alpha; per computer and active hour afterwards.
During the alpha
Modem is invite-only and costs nothing. One computer per account, a modest hour allowance, no payment method required. We are looking for people who will actually run things on it and tell us what breaks.
Want in? Write to dom@fabriquestudio.fr with what you would run on it, or start here: usemodem.dev/onboarding/.
The shape afterwards
You pay per computer, and for the hours it is actually awake. A suspended computer consumes nothing but its disk. Model tokens are never included: you bring your own account or key, and your provider bills you directly.
| Plan | Price | Computers | Active hours | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | 39 € / month | 2 | 60 h | 80 GB |
| Power | 89 € / month | 5 | 200 h | 250 GB |
| Team | from 149 € / month | 10, shared | 400 h pooled | 500 GB |
Extra hours top up in advance, never on credit. Team adds shared computers, team secrets, roles and audit.
These numbers are the current intent, not a contract: they may move before billing is switched on. Alpha users will hear about it first, by email.
Why bills cannot run away
- Every job has a hard timeout, 30 minutes by default, 4 hours maximum, no way to opt out.
- Suspension is aggressive. Minutes of idleness and the machine stops counting.
- Prepaid only. No overdraft, no negative balance, no compute without credit.
- Tokens stay yours. Modem never resells inference.
See Limits & cost for the technical bounds behind these promises.
Out of scope
Public ports, always-on services, GPUs and production workloads. Modem is a workbench for agents, and stays one.
