Is the CLI really free?
Yes. The CLI, all 24 packages, and the plugin SDK are Apache 2.0 open source. Use with your own API keys — no Brainstorm account required.
What does BrainstormRouter cost?
Free to start with community routing. Usage-based pricing on intelligence features (Thompson sampling, guardrails, memory, agent identity). Bring your own provider keys — we add intelligence, not markup.
Can I use my own API keys?
Absolutely. The CLI works with direct provider keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, etc.) or through BrainstormRouter. Your choice.
What is the Enterprise tier?
Custom platform builds for your industry. We use the Brainstorm ecosystem to build AI-native systems — from 37-agent MDR platforms to autonomous go-to-market engines.
