Pricing.
No hidden tiers. No per-seat traps.

Five tiers. Per-organization billing. The full three-layer platform is available at all paid tiers — you upgrade when you need more scope or more audit volume, not when you need more features.

How Lens evaluations are counted

One evaluation.
One Lens. One PR.

A Lens is the operationalization of a Steering principle as a set of binary yes/no questions. When a PR opens, the CDA maps the diff to affected Architecture Ledger entities and selects the Lenses applicable to those entities.

One Lens evaluation = one Lens evaluated against one PR diff. If five Lenses are applicable to the entities a PR touches, the PR consumes five evaluations.

Evaluations are only consumed for PRs that touch governed entities. A dependency update that doesn't cross any architectural boundary may consume zero evaluations.

Example: PR touches PaymentsService
Lens 1: No direct service-to-DB access? → pass
Lens 2: Event bus for cross-domain writes? → pass
Lens 3: PCI scope boundary respected? → warn
3 evaluations consumed for this PR
1,000
Team evaluations/month

Business evaluations/month

Enterprise

Multi-org. Compliance.
Custom everything.

Enterprise pricing is not published because every configuration is different. Volume Lens evaluations, multiple organizations under one contract, custom SLA, DPA terms, and dedicated CSM are all negotiated.

Regulatory and compliance-driven buyers: rkito produces the evidence trail that SOC 2, ISO 27001, and emerging AI Act requirements look for — Design Review approval records, timestamped CHIs, versioned Steering artifacts, and PR audit trails.

// What rkito produces for your auditors
Design Review approvals — who, when, what
CHI records — declared scope, approved by
Steering versioning — what principles were active
CDA findings — per-PR conformance record
Talk to us about Enterprise
