Pricing Update: Predictable Costs, Visible Usage

What's Changing

Backboard now offers simple, transparent pricing: a $9/month subscription plus pay-as-you-go usage fees, with a Free tier that includes $5 in credits. No tiers, no minimums, no long-term contracts.

New Pricing Structure

• Free Tier: $5 in credits included, no credit card required. Perfect for prototyping and evaluation.

• Pro ($9/month): Unlimited access to all features. Pay only for what you use beyond the included credits.

• Enterprise: Custom pricing with SLA, priority support, and dedicated infrastructure.

What's Included

• Memory (Light and Pro tiers) — included with every plan.

• RAG and document processing — no separate add-on.

• Model routing across 17,000+ LLMs — pass-through pricing at provider rates.

• Web search mode — $0.005/query.

• State management — free forever on all plans.

Usage Dashboard

A new real-time usage dashboard gives you full cost visibility:

• Per-request cost breakdowns by model, feature, and time period.

• Daily/weekly/monthly usage trends and projections.

• Configurable spending alerts and budget caps.

• Export to CSV for finance teams.

Migration

• All existing users are automatically moved to the new pricing.

• No action required — your existing usage patterns should see equal or lower costs.

• Legacy plans honored through the end of the current billing cycle.
