Priced per equation discovered · not per API call

Every equation you find has to pay rent.

Not "1M API calls." Not "vCPU-hours." Equations discovered per month. Each successful /discover counts as one. Predict, drift-check, and share the equation as many times as you want — those are free.

How the meter works

Three simple rules. No hidden overage. If you hit your cap we return HTTP 402 with an upgrade URL — never a surprise invoice.

1 successful fit = 1 equation

A /discover call that returns an equation with dim-check passed and R² ≥ 0.5. Failed fits are free.

Predictions are unmetered

Once you have an equation, hit its endpoint as often as you want. We're not selling inference — we're selling structure discovery.

Rollover, no overage billing

Unused equations roll one month forward. If you exceed cap mid-month we pause — no auto-charged overage until you opt in.

Cheaper than the person you'd hire to write it

The Pro plan handles the workload of a full-time contract data scientist for a mid-size process line — at less than 1% of the cost. And the equation is auditable, not a black-box model.

Hiring a data scientist to fit these models

$12,000–18,000 / month
  • Loaded cost: $150–220K/yr FTE or $150/hr contractor × 80 hrs
  • 2–6 weeks to ramp on your data pipeline
  • Model output: a Jupyter notebook + Slack message
  • Rebuild every time the sensor set changes
  • Turnover risk · knowledge lives in one head

formulize.dev Pro

$99 / month
  • 5,000 equations across every process you meter
  • Live in an afternoon · Node-RED node ships today
  • Output: closed-form equation + live API endpoint + drift monitor
  • Refits automatically on new data
  • Documentation and dim-check baked in · reviewable by any engineer

Common questions

What if my fit fails?
Failed fits (dim-check fail, R² < 0.5, or engine error) don't count against your monthly cap. You only pay for structure we actually found.
Do I need a credit card for the free tier?
No. Free tier is IP-throttled — 50 fits per calendar month per API key or per IP. Upgrade whenever you want a stable key and priority queue.
Can I self-host the engine?
Yes. The engine is MIT-licensed. Docker image is on Docker Hub as formulize/engine. The hosted API is the convenience surface, not the moat.
What counts as an "equation" for metering?
A completed /discover response where dim-check passes and R² ≥ 0.5. Predictions from previously-discovered equations are unmetered — that's the whole point of typed SR: fit once, use forever.
Node-RED-specific pricing?
Same meter. The formulize-fit node counts one equation per successful fit; formulize-predict and formulize-drift are free. See the Node-RED guide.
Do you offer regulated-industry / air-gapped deployment?
Yes — Enterprise plan. On-prem Docker, custom cartridges for GxP / SEMI / IEC contexts. See the SLA page or email [email protected].
