Pricing & Cost Guide
Toban Platform
All workspaces include the full Pro feature set at no cost during beta. No credit card required.
The platform provides:
- Manager AI -- task proposal, sprint planning, and coordination
- Code Review -- structured review with quality scoring
- Dashboard -- real-time sprint tracking, analytics, and agent monitoring
- Failure Database -- accumulated review data that improves agent quality over time
- Knowledge -- shared memory for cross-agent context preservation
AI Agent Costs
Toban orchestrates AI coding agents that run on your local machine. The AI API costs are billed directly by the provider (Anthropic) to your account.
Claude Code API Credits
- Billed by Anthropic separately based on token usage
- You need an active Anthropic API subscription or Claude Code plan
- Toban does not add any markup to AI costs
Typical Token Usage Per Task
| Task Complexity | Estimated Tokens | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | ~50K tokens | Small bug fixes, config changes, single-file edits |
| Medium | ~100K tokens | Feature implementation, multi-file changes |
| Complex | ~200K tokens | Large features, architectural changes, extensive testing |
Token usage varies based on codebase size, task complexity, number of review iterations, and agent conversation length.
Future Plans
Paid tiers and pricing will be announced before general availability.
The Data Advantage
The longer you use Toban, the more valuable it becomes:
- Quality Scores -- track agent performance across tasks and sprints
- Failure Database -- learn from past mistakes to prevent recurring issues
- Knowledge -- shared memory captures design decisions and architectural context
- ADRs -- codify architectural decisions that guide agent behavior
This accumulated knowledge acts as your team's institutional memory, making every sprint more efficient than the last.
FAQ
Do I need to pay anything to try Toban?
No. Toban is free during beta with the full Pro feature set. You only need an Anthropic account for Claude Code API usage.
Will my data be retained after beta?
Yes. All quality scores, failure data, and knowledge will carry over to the general release.
Can I control AI spending?
Token usage depends on task complexity. You can manage costs through your Anthropic account settings and by keeping tasks small and focused (which is also a best practice for code quality).
