Monthly Subscription Costs
- Fixed monthly cost per active developer (5 seat minimum).
- Subscription includes usage credits equal to your total monthly subscription cost. Credits do not roll over.
- Example: With 10 active developers, your monthly subscription would be
10 * [monthly_per_dev_cost]
and would include10 * [monthly_per_dev_cost]
in usage credits for that month.
An “active developer” is a GitHub repository member who, during a billing period, makes ≥1 verified commit or authors ≥1 pull request. Bots, AI agents, and non-member contributors (e.g. open source commit authors merged into your private repo) are excluded.
Usage Costs
Credits are used when Macroscope processes commits or does code review in a PR (there could be multiple code review runs in a given PR, depending on how many commits are pushed to that PR). The vast majority of our customers stay within included credits and pay only the base subscription fee each month. Teams with heavy AI-agent activity or a high volume of open-source contributions may exceed their included credits, in which case they may accumulate usage costs. Admins can track usage in Settings → Billing, which shows a breakdown of commits and code review activity, the number of units processed, associated costs, total usage costs, the subscription credit applied, and the net usage cost.Admins can disable usage-based overages in Settings → Billing. Disabling this setting pauses the processing of additional commits and code review once usage levels exceed the included credits for that month until the next billing cycle.
Why Hybrid Pricing?
AI-assisted coding tools and autonomous coding agents now generate a meaningful and growing share of commits and PRs. Traditional seat-based pricing breaks down when “seats” vary drastically in activity (e.g., AI agents committing 10× more than the busiest human dev). To address this, Macroscope’s hybrid model is designed to be:- Predictable: Steady subscription pricing based on active developers
- Fair: Pay for activity you control (commits, PRs), not tokens
- Sustainable: Scales with real usage
