Question 1

How much does Hive Intelligence cost?

Accepted Answer

Hive Intelligence has four plans. Free is $0 and includes 10,000 monthly credits at 100 req/min. Starter is $49/month and includes 100,000 monthly credits at 300 req/min. Pro is $149/month and includes 500,000 monthly credits at 500 req/min. Enterprise is custom-priced with custom monthly credits and rate limits. Annual billing on Starter and Pro includes 2 months free.

Question 2

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan requires no credit card, and the first calls need no account either. You get 10,000 monthly credits, 100 req/min, 5 API keys, and access to every tool across all 10 categories.

Question 3

What is a credit?

Accepted Answer

One material tool execution costs one credit regardless of provider or payload size. Discovery is free: tools/list, task search, category listing, schema lookup, and task-envelope validation do not consume execution credits. Cache stable catalogs and reuse MCP sessions in production clients.

Question 4

Which plan should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Use Free to evaluate Hive and build prototypes. Move to Starter when your first agent goes into production and the free allowance stops being enough. Move to Pro once several agents are serving steady traffic from real users and you want priority support. Pick Enterprise when you run a trading bot, multi-tenant app, or internal platform with high request volume, or when you need custom limits, procurement support, or a production rollout review.

Question 5

Can I change plans later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade from the pricing page or the dashboard and pay in crypto; the account moves to the new limits as soon as the payment lands on chain, mid-cycle included. An upgrade starts a fresh cycle at the higher allowance, so you gain credits rather than losing the ones you already paid for. Downgrades and Enterprise terms are still handled through the team.

Question 6

Do all plans include every tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plan, including Free, has access to the current Hive tool catalog across all 10 categories and every upstream provider Hive normalizes. Plans differ by monthly credit allowance, rate limit, number of API keys, and support tier. Provider-side plan gates or outages can still surface as runtime statuses when an upstream provider limits a specific call.

Question 7

What happens if I exceed my credit allowance?

Accepted Answer

Requests return a 429 response with a clear error code once you hit your monthly credit ceiling (QUOTA_EXCEEDED) or per-minute rate limit (RATE_LIMITED). Credits refill on a rolling monthly cycle anchored to when your account was created, not on the first of the calendar month. Contact support if you need a higher limit profile before your next refill.

Question 8

Is there a Hive Intelligence enterprise plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enterprise is custom-priced for teams that need higher limits, procurement support, security review, or production rollout planning. Message the team on Telegram at https://t.me/HiveIntelligence to discuss scope and pricing.

Question 9

Do you offer annual billing or discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Starter and Pro both support annual billing with 2 months free: pay for 10 months, get 12. Both are self-serve. Pick a plan, pay in crypto, and the account moves as soon as the payment lands on chain. Enterprise commercial terms are still handled through the team.
