Every MCP tool call counts as one action.
Reads count. Writes count. Allowed and blocked count the same. As Ultra’s coverage expands to native tool calls and beyond, those will count too. No surprises.
Ultra is aligned with and an early contributor to AARM and the Agentic Trust Control Framework.
Free for individuals. One transparent rate as you scale. No per-seat math, no SSO tax, no surprise overages.
Three tiers. Free to start. Scale with one rate or lock in a custom contract.
For teams running agents in development and production. Pay only for the actions Ultra secures.
For regulated industries, private deployments, and high-volume customers negotiating their own rate.
We like to keep our pricing super simple, transparent, and fair. Here is exactly what counts and what does not.
Reads count. Writes count. Allowed and blocked count the same. As Ultra’s coverage expands to native tool calls and beyond, those will count too. No surprises.
If a guardrail denies an action, it is still billed. You are paying us to stop it.
Identical retries inside a 60 second window do not count. We do not profit from stuck agents.
Write one rule or fifty. The meter only counts actions secured, not rules evaluated.
Ultra cost is computed from your action volume, which typically translates to 1 to 3 percent of your LLM spend.
The LLM-spend slider assumes about $0.05 per action at Sonnet or OpenAI mid-tier rates with prompt caching. Your actual correlation with model spend will vary depending on the models you use, your caching setup, and how chatty your agents are.
10K / 1K at $1 = $10 / mo.
Pricing decisions surface a lot of follow-on questions. The five we hear most often are below. If yours is not, write us.
Typically 1 to 3 percent for Sonnet-class or OpenAI mid-tier models. Lower as you move to frontier models, where the per-action token cost is higher. If you run cheap-model automation and the ratio gets uncomfortable, we will set a predictable floor under an Enterprise contract.
No. SSO and SCIM are included on every tier, including Free. Security infrastructure should not be paywalled.
You are invoiced monthly for the prior month's usage at $1 per 1K actions, from the first action. We alert you when usage crosses meaningful thresholds, and you can set hard caps in your billing settings. The Free tier still covers up to 5K actions per month at $0.
Same rate. The $1 per 1K is independent of your model choice. Ultra meters actions secured, not tokens consumed. Local-model heavy users are exactly the people who benefit most from a price that does not scale with token spend.
Two reasons. First, you need FedRAMP-aligned, on-prem, or private cloud deployment. Second, you want a negotiated rate, named support, and a contract that covers your volume and retention requirements. Talk to us whenever the deployment model or support level matters more than the published rate.
