Blave Agent Pricing & Billing

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

Last updated 2026-09

Blave Agent runs on a prepaid credit wallet, deducted from your balance by usage. Prices are shown in USD; payments are processed in TWD, so balance thresholds and a few fixed amounts below are given in TWD. For Studio's Pro / API subscription plans, see the plans page.

At a Glance

Item How It's Charged When You'd Use It
Blave Desktop Free, open source Download it and go
Blave Data With a cloud machine or the API plan: included. Otherwise: 0.067 USD/hr, charged only for hours with calls When the agent uses Blave's indicators, positioning data or Taiwan stock data
Cloud machine Shown as a monthly price, deducted hourly from your balance, data included When you want strategies running around the clock without keeping your computer on
Blave AI Per token, from your balance When you pick Blave AI in Blave Desktop. With your own Claude Code or Codex, Blave charges no AI fee

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 once a card is added: a balance below 100 TWD triggers a 300 TWD top-up. You can turn it off anytime.
  • After the 14 days, normal billing applies and your machine is left as it is. One trial per account and per card.

Blave Data

  • If you have a cloud machine (stopped ones count) or the API plan, data is included at no extra charge.
  • Everyone else: 0.067 USD/hr. Charged once for each hour with calls, however many calls you make in that hour; no calls, no charge.
  • If your balance can't cover the current hour, data calls for that hour are blocked and nothing is charged; they resume as soon as you top up.

Cloud Machine (Data Included)

Put your strategies in the cloud and they keep running around the clock, even with your computer off. Shown as a monthly price but deducted hourly from your balance, with Blave data included. Linux Starter is the default; upgrade if you need more cores.

Tier Spec Price
Linux (default)
Starter 2 vCPU · 4 GB 48 USD/mo 0.067 USD/hr
Premium 4 vCPU · 16 GB 144 USD/mo 0.20 USD/hr
Max 8 vCPU · 32 GB 276 USD/mo 0.38 USD/hr
Windows — required by Windows-only broker APIs (e.g. Capital Futures 群益)
Starter 2 vCPU · 8 GB 132 USD/mo 0.18 USD/hr
Premium 4 vCPU · 16 GB 204 USD/mo 0.28 USD/hr
Max 8 vCPU · 32 GB 396 USD/mo 0.55 USD/hr

Monthly prices are based on 30 days (720 hours). A stopped machine is still billed; only deleting it stops the fee. Below a 50 TWD balance the machine stops, and at zero it is deleted, along with the strategies and data on it.

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.

  • Web search is available only on Claude (Anthropic) models — DeepSeek does not bill for it. Each 1000 searches cost 13.333 USD.
DeepSeek Peak Hours DeepSeek rates double during Beijing peak hours (09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00, UTC+8).

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 100 TWD triggers a 300 TWD top-up.
  • With a cloud machine: below 50 TWD it stops, and at zero it is deleted. Without one: only the data calls you can't pay for are blocked, and they resume once you top up.
