Plans

LightVela offers three plan tiers—Launch, Cruise, and Voyage—for needs ranging from a lightweight starting point to more advanced use. Each plan provides an isolated cloud environment for a Hermes Agent and a monthly model-credit allocation. This page explains the positioning, resources, and benefits of each tier so you can choose the right fit.

What is a plan?
A plan is the resource package that activates a Hermes Agent on LightVela. After you activate any currently available plan, LightVela assigns you a dedicated cloud runtime with its own CPU, memory, and storage. Your Hermes Agent can stay online 24/7 without requiring you to buy a server or deploy anything locally.
The main differences between tiers are the runtime resources, dedicated storage, and monthly model-credit allocation. Core Agent capabilities—including adaptive behavior, multiple channels, skills, automations, and long-term memory—remain available across tiers.
The international service is currently in beta, with free beta access available to a limited number of users for a limited time. Available tiers, quotas, and future pricing may change. Check the Subscribe page for current availability and pricing. The values below describe the current resource and credit structure.

FAQ
How much does each plan cost?
The international service currently uses a limited-quantity, limited-time free beta flow. Available plans and future pricing may change as the service evolves. See the Subscribe page for current information.
Can I upgrade or switch plans?
Direct upgrades and plan changes are not currently supported for an active plan. Refer to the options shown in the console and on the Subscribe page.
How many Agents does one plan include?
Launch and Cruise each include one Agent. Voyage is designed to include three Agents but is still coming soon. The Agent allowance is the number of Hermes instances that can run at the same time.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Credits measure model usage. When they run out, features that call a model become limited. Any currently available next steps are governed by the platform's latest rules. See Credits for details.
