Brigade is free on your own computers. Brigade Cloud adds a cloud computer for your workspace, for $99 a month per workspace (€99 in the euro zone). There is one subscription per workspace, paid through Stripe.

​
Free or Brigade Cloud

Brigade Cloud includes:
  • Teammates that keep working when your computer is asleep or off.
  • Brigade’s cloud computer, shared by the workspace, up to 8 turns at once.
  • No charge for AI usage: teammates still run on each member’s own Claude or ChatGPT plan.
Brigade never bills you for AI usage, on either option. See Your computer or Brigade Cloud for what each computer can do.

​
Subscribe

Only owners and admins can subscribe or change the plan. Other members see the plan but no buttons.
1

Open Billing

Go to Settings → Billing and choose Subscribe. In onboarding, the same thing is Get Brigade Cloud.
2

Pay in Stripe Checkout

Checkout shows the price in your currency and accepts promotion codes and a tax ID.
3

Sign in the cloud computer

Back in Brigade, the cloud computer appears in Settings → Computers within a few minutes. Sign it in to your Claude or ChatGPT account there.
The workspace is billed, not the person who pays: if the admin who subscribed leaves, the plan stays with the workspace.

​
Manage your plan

Settings → Billing shows the plan’s state, such as Renews on a date or Ends on a date. Choose Manage billing to open Stripe’s billing portal, where you can:
  • update your card
  • read and download invoices
  • cancel the plan
After the plan has ended, Invoices still opens the portal, and Subscribe again starts a new plan.

​
When a payment fails

The plan shows Payment failed: update your card to keep it. While Stripe retries the payment, your workspace keeps the cloud computer. Update your card in Manage billing. If the payment still fails and the plan ends, the cloud computer stops, as after a cancellation.

​
Cancel

Cancel in Manage billing. The plan runs until the end of the period you paid for, then ends. Then:
  • The cloud computer stops and keeps its disk. It doesn’t start again until the workspace subscribes again.
  • Your workspace stays: its threads, library, memory and members. Teammates keep working for free on your own computers. To move a thread there, see Move a thread between computers.
You can’t delete a workspace, or your account, while the workspace has Brigade Cloud. Cancel it first, and delete once the plan has ended.

​
Included by Brigade

Some workspaces get Brigade Cloud from the Brigade team at no charge. Their plan shows Included by Brigade, with nothing to manage and no Manage billing button.

​
Self-hosted Brigade

On a Brigade server you run yourself without Stripe set up, billing is off: Settings → Billing says so, and the cloud computer, when the server has one, is included. See Self-hosting.
