How many agents can I run?
- Starter: up to 3 agents
- Forge: unlimited agents
There is no hard technical limit on concurrent agents. Performance depends on your machine's resources and your provider's rate limits.
What does the 14-day trial include?
The trial gives you full Forge features for 14 days with no credit card required. At the end of the trial, you can subscribe to Forge or continue on the Starter tier. If you continue on Starter, Forge features lock but all your data is preserved.
What's the Lifetime deal?
The Lifetime tier is a one-time purchase that gives you everything in Forge, permanently. It is locked to the current major version (v3.x), which includes all minor updates and patches. Future major versions (v4+) require a new licence or upgrade.
Can I switch between monthly and annual billing?
Yes, at any time. Switching to annual prorates your remaining monthly balance as credit on your account.
What payment methods are accepted?
Payments are processed by Paddle. Accepted methods include credit and debit cards and PayPal. All major currencies are supported.
Is there a student or open-source discount?
Yes, 10% off with a valid .edu email address. Contact hello@ironspire.dev to apply.
What happens if my subscription lapses?
Forge features lock and you drop back to the Starter tier. All your data (conversations, memory, Blueprint projects, settings) is preserved. You can resubscribe at any time to restore Forge access.
Are prices inclusive of AI model costs?
No. Ironspire charges for the platform only. AI model usage costs go directly to your provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) and depend on the models and volume you use. See BYOK & API keys FAQ for how provider credentials work.
