# Overdeck Anywhere: plans and pricing

<Warning>
  Everything on this page is **planned and not yet available**. Nothing here can be bought
  today. The prices below are the ones we intend to charge at launch; we publish them now,
  with the reasoning, so you can see how we got there and tell us where we are wrong.
</Warning>

## What Overdeck Anywhere is

Overdeck runs on your own machine. Your agents, workspaces and conversations live there.
Overdeck Anywhere is the set of features that let you and your work leave that machine:

* continue an agent conversation on a different machine, including when the first one is
  switched off;
* reach your Overdeck from a laptop, phone or another service without opening ports;
* get a notification when an agent needs you;
* later, share a live session with someone else.

The plan lives in the Overdeck Anywhere epic,
[PAN-2350](https://github.com/eltmon/overdeck/issues/2350). "Overdeck Anywhere" and
"Session Vault" are working names.

### Roadmap

Most of Anywhere is open-source software you run yourself. The paid part comes last and
consists of hosted services.

## What stays free and open source

These are not trials and do not expire:

* **Overdeck itself**, including every feature that runs on your own machines.
* **All of Session Vault Phase A**: the `pan vault` commands, the git and directory
  backends, end-to-end encryption, full version history, resume from any saved version,
  and moving your vault to another backend. Your vault can be as large as your own
  backend allows.
* **Per-machine servers, federation and SSH hosts.** Connecting your own machines to each
  other needs no account and no subscription.
* **Leaving.** `pan vault migrate` copies every record out of the hosted vault to a backend
  you run, whether or not your subscription is active.

Self-hosting has no feature gate, and we do not plan to add one.

## Planned plans and prices

| Plan                          | Price                                                              | What you get                                                                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Self-hosted** (open source) | \$0, forever                                                       | Unlimited storage on your own backend. All of Session Vault Phase A.                                                                                                    |
| **Vault Free** (hosted)       | \$0                                                                | 1 GB of hosted vault storage, 2 machines, end-to-end encrypted.                                                                                                         |
| **Anywhere**                  | \*\*$96 a year** (shown as $8 a month), or **\$10 month-to-month** | 100 GB of hosted vault storage, unlimited machines, and the relay and hosted push notifications as they ship. Hosted agent compute is billed separately by usage.       |
| **Anywhere founding price**   | **\$60 a year**, annual only                                       | Everything in Anywhere. The price stays at \$60 for as long as you stay subscribed. Open to the first 500 subscribers, or until the relay ships, whichever comes first. |
| **Extra storage**             | +$3 a month or +$30 a year per 100 GB                              | For the few who pass 100 GB and prefer not to prune old records.                                                                                                        |

**Encryption.** Your transcripts are encrypted on your machine before upload, with a key
only you hold. The hosted service stores ciphertext it cannot read, and your account never
gains the ability to decrypt it. This also means we cannot recover your vault if you lose
every device and your recovery phrase.

**Deletion.** Deleting your account deletes all of your hosted vault data within 24 hours.

**Payments.** We plan to sell through [Creem](https://www.creem.io) as merchant of record.
Creem is the legal seller, so it collects and remits VAT, GST and sales tax where they
apply.

## How we arrived at these prices

### 1. What comparable products charge

We looked at two groups, with prices as published in September 2026.

**Products that save or move AI coding sessions.** Most of them do it for free, or as part
of a subscription you already buy for model access. Claude Code's Remote Control, included
with Claude subscriptions, controls a session that is still running on its original machine.
None of the products we found sell session storage by the gigabyte, and none encrypt agent
transcripts with a key only the user holds.

**Paid sync or hosted add-ons on top of a free or open-source core:**

| Product                                             | Price                                                                                | Notes                                                           |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Obsidian Sync](https://obsidian.md/sync)           | Standard $4/mo annual or $5 monthly (1 GB); Plus $8/mo annual or $10 monthly (10 GB) | Encrypted, versioned sync for a free app. The closest analogue. |
| [Raycast Pro](https://www.raycast.com/pricing)      | $10/mo or $96/yr                                                                     | Includes cloud sync                                             |
| [Termius Pro](https://termius.com/pricing)          | \$10/mo billed annually                                                              | Adds personal cloud vault sync                                  |
| [Zed Pro](https://zed.dev/pricing)                  | \$10/mo                                                                              |                                                                 |
| [ngrok Hobbyist](https://ngrok.com/pricing)         | \$10/mo, less billed annually                                                        |                                                                 |
| [Bitwarden Premium](https://bitwarden.com/pricing/) | \$19.80/yr                                                                           | Server is open source and self-hostable                         |
| [Atuin](https://atuin.sh/sync-shell-history/)       | Hosted sync free                                                                     | Server is open source; client-side encryption                   |
| [iCloud+](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108047)   | 200 GB for \$2.99/mo                                                                 | Consumer storage anchor                                         |

Two conclusions:

* **$8 a month billed annually, or $10 monthly, is the settled price for an individual pro
  plan** on a developer tool. Obsidian Sync Plus sits exactly there with 10 GB. We offer
  100 GB at the same price, because storing it costs us very little (next section).
* **Nobody should pay per gigabyte for this.** Consumer cloud storage costs about \$1.50 per
  100 GB a month, so a per-gigabyte price above that would feel wrong. The price has to be
  for the workflow, not the bytes.

### 2. What it costs us to store your vault

**Volume.** A heavy user running many agents at once writes about 13 GB of raw transcripts
a month. Transcripts compress well: zstd at level 3 shrank a sample of real transcripts by
about 3.2x. That heavy user therefore adds about 4 GB of stored data a month and would take
about two years to fill 100 GB. A typical single-agent user writes far less; we estimate
0.1 to 0.6 GB of stored data a month, but we have not measured it yet.

**Storage.** The hosted vault is planned on Cloudflare R2 at \$0.015 per GB-month, with no
egress fee, which matters because restoring a conversation on a new machine is a download.
Durable Objects hold each vault's version pointers.

**Requests.** A heavy user with ten agents saving every five minutes makes about 21,000
writes and 50,000 reads a month. On R2 with Workers and Durable Objects that costs about
\$0.16 a month.

All-in cost per user per month:

| Stored | Typical user | Heavy user |
| ------ | ------------ | ---------- |
| 1 GB   | \$0.04       | \$0.18     |
| 5 GB   | \$0.10       | \$0.24     |
| 20 GB  | \$0.32       | \$0.46     |
| 50 GB  | \$0.77       | \$0.91     |
| 100 GB | \$1.52       | \$1.66     |

A free user costs us at most about 4 cents a month, so a free hosted tier is affordable. The
fixed platform cost is small (Cloudflare Workers has a \$5 monthly minimum). The real cost of
running this is support time: lost keys, billing questions and sync bugs.

### 3. Payment fees

Creem charges 3.9% plus $0.40 per successful charge, with no extra fee for international
cards. Payouts to us cost the higher of $7 or 1% of each payout. The fixed \$0.40 is what
shapes the plan:

| Charge       | Fee    | Share of the price |
| ------------ | ------ | ------------------ |
| \$5 a month  | \$0.60 | 11.9%              |
| \$10 a month | \$0.79 | 7.9%               |
| \$60 a year  | \$2.74 | 4.6%               |
| \$96 a year  | \$4.14 | 4.3%               |

In countries with VAT or GST the fee is charged on the tax-inclusive amount, so its share of
our revenue there is somewhat higher.

### 4. What the price pays for

Storage and requests for a user at the full 100 GB cap cost us about $1.70 a month, and a
typical user costs well under that. Creem's fees take about $4 of a \$96 annual plan. The rest
of the price pays for building and maintaining Overdeck, supporting subscribers, and the
parts of Anywhere that are not built yet.

The relay and push notifications will add cost that we have not modeled yet. We will build
that cost model before the relay leaves beta. Hosted agent compute is the one thing whose
cost scales directly with use, which is why it is billed by usage instead of being included.

### 5. Why annual billing

Because of the fixed $0.40 per charge, a monthly plan loses about three times as much of
each dollar to fees as an annual one. We still offer monthly at $10 for people who want to
try it without committing, but the annual price is 20% lower ($96 against $120), the same
discount Raycast and Obsidian use. The founding price is annual only for the same reason.

### 6. Why the vault is not sold on its own

A standalone "encrypted backup of your transcripts" competes with free tools and with
Obsidian Sync Standard at $4 a month, and at $3 to \$5 a month card fees would take 12% to
17% of it. Its honest price would be low, and most of it would go to fees.

What the vault does that nothing else does is let your work follow you: continue on your
laptop while your desktop is off, from any saved version, across harnesses, with a key only
you hold. That is the same promise as the relay, push notifications and, later, shared
sessions. So the vault anchors one Anywhere subscription instead of being a separate
product.

At launch only the vault exists, so we would be charging a bundle price for one feature.
The founding price addresses that: \$60 a year, locked for as long as you stay subscribed,
until the relay ships or 500 people have joined.

### 7. Why self-hosting stays ungated

* It is the promise the project was built on. Weakening the free git backend would break
  that promise, and the promise is worth more than the subscriptions it might add.
* It removes lock-in. You can start self-hosted, move to the hosted vault, and move back
  with `pan vault migrate`.
* It does not take much away from the paid plan. Encrypted records cannot be delta
  compressed, so a heavy user outgrows a free git host's recommended repository size in a
  few months. The people who value the vault most are the ones most likely to want someone
  else to run it. Bitwarden and Atuin both publish their servers and still run popular
  hosted services.

### 8. Why a free hosted tier and not a trial

Every direct alternative stores sessions for free, so a time-limited trial would lose the
"try it" comparison. The 1 GB free tier costs us about 4 cents per user a month. Transcripts
only grow, so the free tier fills up on its own for anyone who uses it heavily, and no
feature needs to be held back to encourage upgrades. Version history is never gated,
because resuming from any saved version is the point of the vault.

### 9. Why there is no team plan yet

Every record is encrypted with a single key that one person holds. Sharing a vault with a
team needs a key-sharing design, and it depends on shared sessions
([PAN-658](https://github.com/eltmon/overdeck/issues/658)). We will not publish a team price
until that design exists.

## What we still need to learn

* How much a typical user actually stores. The vault collects no telemetry, so we plan a
  local `pan vault stats` command and will ask early users to share its output.
* What the relay costs to run per user.
* Whether people will pay $96 a year, and $60 at the founding price. We plan a waitlist
  before launch.
