Why don't you charge for data volume?

Because it punishes you for looking. DataFocal indexes data where it's collected and stores it compactly, so more data costs us little. You pay for the people and collectors that use DataFocal; storage is passed through at cost plus 20%, or free in your own bucket.

What counts as a collector?

Each running collector that sends data to DataFocal, usually one per server, virtual machine or Kubernetes node. Collectors on developer machines that read AI agent transcripts are free.

Can my agents use DataFocal?

Yes. DataFocal is an MCP server: connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client. Agent queries are unlimited, like everyone else's.

Pay for value, not for data

Every plan includes unlimited data volume and unlimited queries. You pay for the people who use DataFocal and the collectors that feed it, never for how much they send.

Collectors

A collector runs where your data is and indexes it there. It costs the same whether it sends a gigabyte a day or a hundred.

Collectors on developer machines, reading AI agent transcripts, are free.
Billed on the month's average count, not the peak, so autoscaling doesn't cost you.

First 250$12 per collector / month
251 to 1,000$9 per collector / month
Above 1,000$6 per collector / month

Storage: managed, or your own bucket

Either way there's no charge for data volume.
