Blave Agent Pricing & Billing

Blave Desktop is free. You pay only for the AI, data and cloud machine you use.

Blave Desktop is free. Blave Agent is a plan (monthly or yearly, Blave data in every tier, plus a cloud server if you want one); Blave AI runs on a prepaid balance, deducted by usage. Prices are shown in USD; payments are processed in TWD, so a few fixed amounts below are given in TWD. For Data Studio's Pro / API subscription plans, see the plans page.

At a Glance

First Card: 14-Day Trial

• Adding a card for the first time charges a 10 TWD verification, which goes straight into your balance.
• For 14 days: Blave data is free on Blave Desktop and cloud machines, the server fee for one Linux Starter cloud machine is waived, and Blave AI comes with 100 TWD of credit.
• Once that credit is used up, usage comes out of your balance. Auto top-up is on by default after you add the card: a balance below 50 TWD triggers a 300 TWD top-up, and you can turn it off anytime.
• The first plan period is charged the moment the trial ends (balance first, then card); cancel during the trial and nothing is charged. One trial per account and per card.

Blave Data

• Cloud server and desktop app: with a Blave Agent plan (this counts even on the desktop app alone, or after the server is deleted while the plan is still in its period) or the API plan, data is included at no extra charge.
• API keys you create on the API page for your own code: only the API plan gets Blave data; Blave Agent plans and the trial don't cover them. Otherwise there is no Blave data: open a Blave Agent plan or the API plan. Data isn't sold by the hour, and there is no data-only plan.
• During the card trial, data works on the desktop app too.

Cloud Machine (Data Included)

Put your strategies in the cloud and they keep running around the clock, even with your computer off. It's a plan: monthly, billed every 30 days, or yearly (pay for 10 months, use 365 days), with Blave data in every tier. Linux Starter is the default; if you need more cores you can upgrade, effective right away, paying the difference for the days left in the period.

Tier	Spec	Price
Linux (default)
Starter	2 vCPU · 4 GB	48 USD/mo 480 USD/yr
Premium	4 vCPU · 16 GB	144 USD/mo 1,440 USD/yr
Max	8 vCPU · 32 GB	276 USD/mo 2,760 USD/yr
Windows — required by Windows-only broker APIs (e.g. Capital Futures 群益)
Starter	2 vCPU · 8 GB	132 USD/mo 1,320 USD/yr
Premium	4 vCPU · 16 GB	204 USD/mo 2,040 USD/yr
Max	8 vCPU · 32 GB	396 USD/mo 3,960 USD/yr

Each period comes out of your balance first; if it doesn't cover a full period, the whole period goes on your card. If it can't be paid, the server stops when the period ends and the charge is retried daily; after 7 days the server is deleted (with its strategies and data). Cancelling: the plan runs to the end of the period, no refund. Cloud servers can't be downgraded for now; to switch to a cheaper plan, wait until the current period ends. Terminating the server does not cancel the plan; it keeps being charged each period. Without a server, a failed charge only pauses Blave data, and the plan ends if it isn't paid within 7 days.

Blave AI

When you choose Blave AI on Blave Desktop or a cloud machine, usage is deducted from your balance per token; DeepSeek V4 Pro is the default. Your own Claude Code or Codex doesn't go through Blave and isn't charged here.

Per 1M tokens, in USD.

• Web search is available only on Claude (Anthropic) models — DeepSeek does not bill for it. Each 1000 searches cost 13.333 USD.

To switch models, just tell your AI — e.g. "Use Claude Sonnet from now on."

Top-Ups and Balance

• Top-up options: 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 USD.
• Auto top-up: a balance below 50 TWD triggers a 300 TWD top-up; you can turn it off anytime.
• Your balance pays for Blave AI and for your plan (each period comes out of it first). When the balance runs out, Blave AI stops responding; the server isn't affected.
