Pricing
Start free. Hire your first AI agent in under 5 minutes. No credit card required.
Curate-Me never marks up LLM API costs. You pay providers directly at their published rates. We charge for the governance platform — cost caps, PII scanning, approvals, observability, and managed runner access only when the private beta is enabled for your org.
What you get
Your AI assistant is a real workplace identity — a Microsoft 365 user with email, Teams presence, calendar, and a directory listing. Not a bot. On Starter and above, the assistant lives at curate@yourorg.curate-me.ai with up to 12 capability aliases (dev-team@, cfo@, security@, etc.) for per-task voice.
The platform has 22 Autopilot templates out of the box — code review, daily cost reports, security audits, customer support triage, sales research, and more. Connect a tool (GitHub, Slack, Linear, your data) and start the work from the dashboard or API. Browse all templates →

vs. the alternatives
The “stitched stack” (Portkey + E2B + Langfuse) is fragmenting fast. Curate-Me is the integrated alternative that’s still independent.

| Gateway requests | $0.10 per 1,000 requests |
| Compute (lightweight runner) | $0.10/hr |
| Compute (standard runner) | $0.25/hr |

Hard caps in the dashboard prevent unexpected charges. Set a monthly cap, and we’ll block traffic the moment you hit it — no surprise invoices.
FAQ
Can I switch plans? Yes. Upgrade immediately, downgrade at next billing cycle.
Free trial? All paid plans include a 14-day trial at the selected paid tier. No credit card required to start.
What counts as a gateway request? Each LLM API call through the gateway (completions, embeddings, image generation). Health checks and metadata queries are free.
Can I add extra agents without upgrading? Yes, $25/month per additional agent slot on any paid plan.
What if I want to migrate from Portkey, Helicone, or Langfuse? We’ve written migration guides for each — typically a 1-day lift since most apps just need an environment variable swap. See Curate-Me vs Portkey, vs Helicone, vs Langfuse.
Do you mark up LLM costs? No. You pay your provider directly at their published rates. Our pricing is for the governance platform only.
Is my data used to train models? No. We don’t train on customer data. Audit logs are stored in your own MongoDB/Redis (or ours, encrypted at rest).
