Agent sizes and billing
Every Fleet Agent runs on its own dedicated box. The box size determines how much compute the agent has for concurrent work, and it sets the agent’s monthly price.
The size ladder
Three sizes are available:
| Size | Monthly price | Built for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $100 | Q&A and simple tasks |
| Power | $250 | Multi-user work, projects, light development |
| Dev | $500 | Complex development, many users, project orchestration |
Choose the initial size in the HQ Console creation wizard or with
hq agents provision --size basic|power|dev. Both routes show the applicable
company-specific monthly price before creation. Plan inclusions, contract
pricing, credits, or sponsorship can make the displayed price different from
the list price above.
You can move an agent up or down the ladder at any time from its settings; a mid-cycle change is prorated on your next invoice using standard Stripe proration.
Previously offered sizes
Earlier ladders included a smaller entry box and a larger top box. Agents already running on those sizes are grandfathered: they keep billing exactly what they bill today and keep running unchanged. Those sizes are no longer available for new agents, and an explicit resize moves the agent onto the current ladder.
Who can change an agent’s size
Changing a size changes your bill, so applying a size change requires the
changeAgentSize capability:
- Company owners always have it.
- Company admins have it when the owner grants it.
- Everyone else sees a request path instead: the request goes to the owner, who can approve or decline it.
The confirmation step always shows the exact monthly change before anything is applied.
After the new size is in place and the agent is healthy, HQ updates the size shown in the Console and sends the requester a completion notification. A failed change reports the size the agent remains on instead of claiming the requested size is ready.
Team plan inclusions
The Team plan includes three agents’ boxes in the flat plan fee:
- 1 Dev-size box (your first agent)
- 2 Basic-size boxes
Upgrades beyond what is included are available for the price difference, and agents beyond the included three bill at the ladder price. Deleting an agent never raises the bill on the agents that remain — the plan’s inclusions belong to the plan, not to a particular agent.
