Free on your machine. Pay only for cloud work.
Running on your own machine with your own AI subscription is free — always. You pay when Orkka's computers do the work, or when you grow past one project.
What you actually pay for
Free for one project. $10.00/month for unlimited projects and repos.
Free and unlimited on your own machine. In our cloud you pay per token — 10,000 credits to start, no card.
Only if Orkka hosts the app for you: free for 7 days, then $10.00/month per app.
These are three separate meters. Running Orkka on your own machine, on your own AI subscription, costs nothing at all — and most people never pay for more than one of the three.
No credit card required
- 1 project, 2 code repositories, 1 person
- Unlimited agent runs on your machine — your Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, or Copilot subscription

- 10,000 one-time cloud credits to try cloud execution — no credit card
ProFor solo buildersFlat. No seats, no per-project math.
- Unlimited projects and repos — for one person
- Everything in Free — local runs stay free and unlimited
- Ship from your phone: create tasks and run the whole pipeline from anywhere
- Cloud runs stay optional and separate — prepaid credits, only when our infrastructure does the work

Pro turns your orca gold — it swims in your top bar for as long as you are on the plan.
Charged per app, not per account. Starts only when you add a card.
- Your app live at yourname.orkka.app, with a database and hosting handled for you
- Free for 7 days at its own address — no card, delete it any time
- Add a card to keep it online — without one, the app pauses when the trial ends and is kept for 30 days
- 2,000 credits of agent work included every month, per app
- Does not use up your plan's project allowance
Bring your own repo instead and you never pay this — you host it yourself.
Cloud runs — optional, metered honestly
Only work executed on Orkka's infrastructure is ever billed.
- Provider cost + 10% — vendor intro prices passed straight through
- Prepaid credits with live cost tracking per task, agent, and project
- Budget caps with alerts, and auto-pause when a cap is reached
- Claude, GPT, and Gemini models — the same pay-per-token rule for all
Running on your own computer? Tasks go there and cost $0 — the cloud is the fallback, never the default.
Example rates
USD per 1M tokens, 10% platform fee included. Every model and rate is in the app's model picker.
Examples, not the full catalog. Provider base rates may change; changes are passed through.
Your subscription or ours
On your machine, agents run on the AI subscriptions you already pay for. In the cloud, Orkka's keys do the work. Nothing to configure either way — no API keys, ever.
