Predictable authorization costs at any scale

Every time your app asks "can user X do action Y on resource Z?" that's one check. Batch requests count as one check per item. Complexity of the underlying policy doesn't affect the count.

A relationship describes a connection: "alice is an editor of report-q4". We count the total number stored, not writes. Delete a relationship and the count goes down.

Think of a vault like a database in a database server — a self-contained unit with its own relationships, policies, and audit trail. On Scale plans, each vault is cryptographically isolated from every other.

Each paid plan includes a base allocation of checks and relationships. Go over and you pay the per-unit rate for your plan, billed monthly. No surprises — usage is visible in your dashboard in real time.

Most Launch teams pay $30–60/month. Most Scale teams pay $250–500/month. The platform fee is the floor, not the ceiling — your total depends on check volume and stored relationships. Usage is metered in real time so there are no surprises at the end of the month.

Your app keeps working. Free tier usage degrades gracefully with increased latency rather than hard-cutting requests. You'll receive email notifications as you approach your limits so you can upgrade before it affects your users.

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. There are no long-term contracts on any self-serve plan.

A tamper-evident log of every authorization decision. On Scale plans, each entry is anchored to a Merkle tree so you can prove the record hasn't been altered.

All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). On Scale plans, each vault is cryptographically isolated with its own encryption keys. Audit trail entries are tamper-evident via Merkle proofs. InferaDB Cloud is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant on every plan.

Yes. Every authorization decision is logged with full context: who, what, when, and the policy version that produced the decision. On Scale plans, Merkle proofs provide cryptographic evidence that records haven't been altered — suitable for SOC 2, HIPAA, and financial compliance audits.

InferaDB has an open source Community Edition (MIT + Apache 2.0) with the same core engine, policy language, and APIs. You can export your relationships and policies at any time and run them on your own infrastructure. No lock-in.
