Start free with AI Cost Firewall. Add VCAL Semantic Cache when semantic reuse becomes production infrastructure. Use VCAL Privacy Guard for enterprise pilots that require sensitive-data protection before LLM calls.
The products are designed as a progression: use the open-source gateway first, validate savings and traffic patterns, then add production semantic caching and enterprise privacy controls when needed.
Best for teams starting with LLM cost control, cache visibility, and OpenAI-compatible gateway deployment.
Best for teams that need semantic caching to become a durable, observable, and supported part of production AI infrastructure.
Best for organizations that need sensitive-data detection, redaction, anonymization, and controlled restoration around LLM calls.
Public pricing is intentionally focused on the entry path. Enterprise deployments vary by environment, support expectations, traffic profile, security review, and integration requirements.
AI Cost Firewall is the free entry point for teams that want to test cost-control and cache behavior before buying commercial infrastructure.
VCAL Semantic Cache starts from €9,900/year for production use, with larger deployments handled through enterprise quotes.
VCAL Privacy Guard is available for pilot projects where privacy controls, operational fit, and deployment scope need to be validated together.
Partners can discuss annual buy pricing, customer packaging, support responsibilities, and bundle positioning for managed AI infrastructure offerings.
| Need | Recommended option | Why |

| Deploy for regulated, enterprise, or customer-managed environments | Enterprise quote | Pricing depends on scope, integration, support, compliance expectations, and deployment model. |
VCAL Privacy Guard is the first enterprise guard module available for pilots. VCAL Security Guard, audit/export capabilities, and compliance packages can be discussed as roadmap items or custom enterprise work, but should not be treated as standard public products until they are pilot-ready.
Yes. AI Cost Firewall is the open-source entry point. Commercial support, enterprise modules, or bundled deployments can be scoped separately.
Yes. VCAL Semantic Cache can be evaluated with a 30-day test license before choosing an annual commercial license.
Privacy deployments depend heavily on data types, integration points, fail-open/fail-closed requirements, audit expectations, and support needs.
Yes. Partner pricing and customer packaging can be discussed for managed AI infrastructure, private-cloud, or compliance-oriented services.
