Trinitite joins TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200

Pricing

Credits for the cloud. A price book for the rest.

Trinitite is the cloud governance platform. Every move it runs in the cloud is metered in one simple unit: a credit is a penny. Buy packs anytime, spend only when the platform does work, and never pay for seats or minimums. Governing real AI spend at scale is a separate enterprise price book.

1 credit = 1 cent · buy packs anytime · enterprise is its own book

Credits

Buy anytime
= 1 credit

One unit for everything the platform runs in the cloud: chat, safety checks, tests, compute, and signed documents. Buy a pack and spend as you go. Credits you buy never expire, and no call means no charge.

  • 1,000 credits$10
  • 2,500 credits$25
  • 5,000 credits+500 free$50
  • 10,000 credits+1,500 free$100

Free for developers: send your AI traffic through the API or SDK and get full observability on every call. No credits, no card, until you turn the Guard on.

The big idea

One unit. One cent. One bill.

Every cloud-consuming thing Trinitite runs is metered in one unit, and a credit is a penny, the smallest thing we ever bill, so no call ever costs a fraction of a cent. One invoice, no token math, no surprise micro-charges. Governing real AI spend at scale is a separate enterprise price book.

A quick chat with the assistant

A normal back-and-forth about your AI activity.

01

Packs you buy anytime

Run low? Buy a pack and keep going, just like Cursor or Claude. Credits you buy never expire.

02

A one-time trial bucket

First-time Emu signups get 1,000 Trinitite credits, 10 dollars face, to taste the cloud platform: about 1,000 chat turns, 33 GPU-minutes of fine-tuning, 2 signed documents, or one light-touch red-team sweep (a real campaign needs a pack). A bounded first taste, not a recurring grant.

03

Free developer observability

Send your AI traffic through the API or SDK and the full observability surface is free, forever: traces, the graph, dashboards, spend. No credits, no card, until you turn the Guard on.

The chat assistant

Priced on the words it actually reads and writes. Most turns hit the 1-credit minimum.

  • Short reply1 credit
  • Typical chat1 credit
  • Summary of your AI activity1 credit
  • Long, deep advice~2 credits

The safety checks

These run our Guard over your AI traffic. Every check has a 1-credit minimum.

  • Guard a call (block or fix)1 credit min
  • Watch a network exchange1 credit min
  • Check a tool call1 credit min
  • Check a command1 credit min
  • Ask the cloud for a second opinion~7 credits

Testing and hardening

You pay for the work we run. When we test your model, its own tokens go on your provider bill, not ours.

  • Test one scenario (eval)~2 to 3 credits
  • Break-in test (red-team probe)~7 light, ~18 typical, ~48 heavy
  • Red-team campaign (a real sweep)~1,100 to 11,000+ credits
  • Improve a prompt1 to 5 credits
  • Turn a rule into a test2 to 10 credits
  • Fairness check5 to 20 credits
  • Gate suite run1 to 3 credits

Heavy compute and proof

The big jobs, priced by the minute or per document. A typical 90-minute fine-tune is about 2,700 credits ($27).

  • GPU time (fine-tune or distill)30 credits ($0.30)
  • Sandbox runcompute plus margin
  • Signed document (model card, receipt)~500 credits ($5)

You pay your AI provider directly. We never resell their tokens, and no call means no charge.

Always free

You never pay to look at your own data.

These run on data we have already gathered, so they cost nothing extra. No Guard fires, no credits burn.

What it actually costs

Real people, real bills.

A few honest examples so you can find yourself among them.

A developer

$50 pack

Free observability, then a 50-probe red-team plus a one-hour fine-tune in a month.

Observability is free. The red-team (50 probes at ~18 credits) plus the fine-tune (60 GPU-minutes at 30 credits per minute) burns about 2,700 credits. Buy a 5,000-credit pack for $50, 5,500 with the bonus, and keep going.

A startup

$100 pack

Governed inference across a busy month, plus a few eval runs and a signed model card.

About 9,000 credits used. The $100 pack gives 11,500 credits with the bonus, so one pack covers the month with room to spare.

Questions

Pricing, plainly.

  • What is a credit?

    One credit is one cent. It is the single unit for everything in the cloud: chat, checks, tests, compute, and signed documents. One meter, one bill, no fraction-of-a-penny math.

  • Where is Emu pricing?

    On the Emu site, emu.trinitite.ai. Trinitite is credits plus a separate enterprise price book. Emu is a flat desktop subscription: Free, $14/mo for Pro, or $35/mo per seat for Enterprise. The two only meet where Emu Enterprise seats turn on cloud-enforced RBAC, audit, SSO, and MFA.

  • Credits or enterprise, which do I need?

    Credits for the cloud platform: chat, checks, evals, compute, attestations. Enterprise for governing real AI spend at scale: production Guardians, SWG/ICAP network DLP, air-gap and indemnity, IdP federation, and 24/7. Most teams start on credits and move to the enterprise price book when they need network-scale controls.

  • Do my credits expire?

    Credits you buy never expire. The one-time trial bucket for new Emu users is a single grant, not a recurring refill.

  • What happens when my trial credits run out?

    The free observability and the data layer keep working. The cloud-consuming features, like chat, checks, evals, and compute, simply ask you to buy a pack to keep going.

  • Can developers use it for free?

    Yes. Send your AI traffic through the API or SDK and get free observability: traces, the map, dashboards, and spend tracking. No credits, no card. Turning the Guard on to block or fix is when credits start.

  • Can I bring my own model key?

    Yes. Point the assistant at your own key and your credits stretch about four times further, because you are paying for the guard, not the tokens.

  • Do I need the whole platform?

    No. Start with free observability, add the SDK when you build, and buy credits only when you turn the Guard on or run cloud work. You pay your AI provider directly; we never resell their tokens.
