Hive prices issuance, hosted access, retention, and operating support according to the selected profile. Local checking of a supported receipt with retained verifier materials is not metered. Hosted lookup, managed verification, and evidence operations may be included in a paid order form. Payment method and evidence architecture are separate choices.

How to read this. Every Hive product is priced against the workflow and evidence volume, not against a seat count. Account-specific terms, including any revenue share, apply only when defined in a signed order form. No payout to any individual is implied.
Choose card, ACH, or USDC. Base is an optional payment rail, not a requirement for issuing or verifying a receipt.
Pay with any card or bank account. Instant provisioning after settlement. Familiar checkout flow.
Send USDC directly to the treasury on Base 8453. The payment transaction is on-chain; the evidence receipt remains a separate signed record.
Anonymous modeler. No signup, no email gate. Pick a vertical and request backend receipts. The visualization does not independently verify signatures. Scheme availability depends on the exact endpoint and acceptance evidence, not the price tier.
Selected vertical: Banking

Builder and Operator below are A2A capacity examples, not the Starter and Team platform plans shown later. They are not orderable for a post-quantum profile until the named endpoint, algorithm, included quantity, overage, retention, and support terms are accepted in one order form. The order form is the only governing schedule and states whether any platform fee is included or additive.
100 receipts/IP/day. No login. No signup. Just curl and ship.
Draft A2A capacity example: 10,000 receipts and a $0.0010 overage, subject to accepted endpoint and profile terms. This is not the Starter platform plan.
Draft A2A capacity example: 1,000,000 receipts and a $0.0009 overage, subject to accepted endpoint and profile terms. This is not the Team platform plan.
USDC on Base 8453 is available as an optional payment method. Card and ACH remain available. The treasury transaction records payment; it is not the customer’s receipt or a required part of the evidence trail. Need volume? See the enterprise commit ladder.
Three calculators, all live. Plug in your call volume and tier, see effective cost per receipt and monthly burn. Settling prediction-market contracts? Pricing starts at $0.25 per settled contract, banded down by volume.
Enterprise buyers may prepay receipt capacity and reconcile actual issuance. An operating fee can cover hosted access, support, signing-key administration, retention, and the agreed service level. Local checking with retained materials is not metered. Hosted lookup or managed verification can be billable when the order form includes them.
Starter through Enterprise are platform access plans. They are separate from the A2A capacity examples above. Each accepted order form must identify the included receipt profile, allowance, overage, retention, support, and any hardware or optional anchor work. Charges do not stack or replace one another unless that order form says so. Buyer-specific terms are governed only by a separate dated commercial schedule.
20,000 receipts included. Devs, prototypes, a single tenant.
60,000 receipts included. Small teams running a real workload.
400,000 receipts included. A production line of business.
2,000,000 receipts included. Multi-region, multi-tenant.
10,000,000 receipts included. Regulated volume with named engineers.
Priced per deployment. National and frontier-lab scale, in-country signers, dedicated infrastructure.
These eleven have Ed25519 mint/verify implementations and reported nine-gate source coverage. Production execution acceptance must be checked per endpoint; a catalog entry is not a passed run. They meter the same way everything else does: free under 100,000 receipts a month, then $0.01 a receipt, $0.005 above 1,000,000 a month, and $0.002 above 5,000,000 a month. Rates are PROPOSED; check the current meter declaration. No account has been sized against these yet, so there is no revenue to report. Full write-up at /afir-ocr/.
Which read value, transform and model version produced a decision.
Meter this instrument →Every preprocessing stage in order, with the parameters it ran under.
Meter this instrument →Which fields of a receipt the issuing service computed itself.
Meter this instrument →Two readers of the same field disagreed, and by how much.
Meter this instrument →Deterministic, seeded stochastic, or declared nondeterministic.
Meter this instrument →The permitted distance and the metric, fixed before the comparison ran.
Meter this instrument →The settings that produced the pixels a coordinate points at.
Meter this instrument →How confident the header binding behind a lifted number is.
Meter this instrument →What was actually searched before you said a thing is not there.
Meter this instrument →Whether a region of a page came from paper or from software.
Meter this instrument →What an engine read, from where, and at what confidence.
Meter this instrument →Every card above runs against the live signer. Change one character of a signed body and the SIGNATURE gate fails, which you can try yourself from the demo link. Pay from the pay panel in card, ACH or USDC on Base 8453.
These profile names do not imply one interchangeable production endpoint. Availability, accepted algorithms, fields, verifier behavior, retention, and pricing must be confirmed for the exact endpoint and revision. Planned profiles are not orderable until those acceptance checks pass.
Default full-sign rate. Separate Modal health self-declares ML-DSA-65; output acceptance is unverified. Typed AFiR is a distinct Ed25519 contract. Volume entry tier at $0.0001 / receipt (Nano).
Planned ML-KEM-768 key-encapsulation envelope with ML-DSA-65 signatures. These are FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 algorithm names, not dual certification. Endpoint acceptance required.
Prototype profile. Current endpoint performance, availability, and production acceptance are unverified.
Base covers the classifier, absence proof, and meta-receipt over every inference. You pay the span rate only for the material spans that actually get signed.
Agents that catch their own bad steps. Signed checkpoint, signed rollback, signed repair: the whole recovery is provable, not patched after the fact.
Off-path sidecar signing for live voice agents, live translation, and streaming copilots. Meter spins fast, each unit tiny, so it rides below inference cost.
High-volume commits, white-label, and wholly-separate partner-resident deployment inside your perimeter are negotiated directly. Talk to Steve →
Pick the signature strength you need. The four products above set the issuance rate. Volume does the rest. Every tier earns the same discount as you grow. List prices are the Build column. Usage is metered and uncapped, with no monthly minimum and no ceiling: you pay for exactly what the selected endpoint issues.

What the short names mean. SLS is the parent lateration receipt (the base every receipt pays). AFiR / AFIR is a signed AI-inference receipt. MiR is a model-inference receipt (a signed record of one model call). PQ means the post-quantum signature, ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204). Full glossary on the definitions page.
Read down for stronger signatures, across for higher volume. AFIR-S selective is billed per signed span ($0.0002 / inference + $0.0004 / span). AFiR-Stream meters segments at Nano, session receipt at Standard, PQ finalize at PQ-tier. One 60s voice call lands around $0.02 attested end to end. SLS is the parent primitive: every receipt above is a lateration receipt that pays this floor, then a 20% savings clip on avoided_cost (1.5× cross-tenant). Verified Regulated compliance-boundary adds +25% to the segment rate. Hyperscale 1B+ floor negotiable. Talk to Steve →
Five tiers. Per-call inference with progressively stronger receipts, compression, and corpus moat. Integrated responses carry signed receipts that can be verified without a blockchain lookup. Any chain anchor must be separately selected and specified.
Base inference with signed receipt. Standard depth.
Planned post-quantum sealed profile. ML-DSA-65 + SLH-DSA pillars require endpoint-specific acceptance; this tier is not proof of available dual signing.
smsh plus full CCACW corpus compression. AmpliHive-enabled.
Conditional PQ profile plus CCACW corpus. Endpoint signature acceptance and corpus scope require separate validation.
Wholly-separate partner-resident instance. Corpus stays with you.
Patent Pending on CCACW pipeline and AmpliHive corpus moat. Enterprise Tenant contracts via billing@thehiveryiq.com.
Receipt verification scope
This mark is not proof that every displayed record is signed, PQ-verified or independently certified. Hive-operated signing is not an outside-party attestation. Use the exact receipt's verifier and endpoint acceptance evidence.
