Pricing
Prepaid credits
Sketch needs an LLM and containers. The sketch.dev service provides the default model (and if you use the cloud service, the containers too). You pay for this service by purchasing pre-paid credits, and are charged based on the number of tokens you use.
You pay for what you use
There is no flat-rate subscription because there is no way to make it work well. The fundamental cost of any coding agent is in the number of tokens it uses. To make it flat rate one of two things must happen: either the agent will stop working when you hit your monthly limit, or the agent will switch to a cheaper model at some point and degrade in quality. Your time is too valuable to waste on a coding agent that stops working or gives you poor results. Sketch keeps it simple and shows you the cost. We believe it is worth it.
BYO model
Sketch is open source software, and so you can run it without paying for the sketch.dev service in "standalone" mode. To do so, you will need to provide a way to run containers, and an LLM to power the agent. For more details on how to run Sketch in standalone mode see the readme.md on GitHub.
Enterprise
Enterprise customers have several options for deeper integration with their existing systems which varies the cost. If you are interested in an enterprise license, please contact us.
