What we’re building.

Four lanes. Solo and Team are live on the hosted cloud, on top of the free local daemon. Business+ is the hosted top tier, by enquiry. Enterprise is a sales-led on-prem engagement, by enquiry. No date we cannot keep. No capability we have not started.

§ 01 Four lanes

Solo, Team, Business+, Enterprise.

The daemon is a local binary, free forever, runs on your machine. Solo and Team are the hosted tiers at cloud.haltonmeter.com that keep history and roll up multiple daemons. Business+ is the hosted top tier, by enquiry. Enterprise is a sales-led on-prem engagement for workloads that cannot leave the building.

Solo

LIVE NOW

Daemon free · Cloud Solo $16/mo annual

One developer. A local binary that runs on your machine: captures every LLM call, attributes it to a project, costs it against published rates. Cloud Solo adds hosted persistence and history on top. The daemon is free with or without it.

  • VS Code / JetBrains / Cursor extensions
  • Encrypted local body logging

Team

LIVE NOW

$99/mo annual · up to 10 seats

Cloud adds what one machine cannot: a workspace-wide, hash-chained audit ledger across every developer's daemon, and reconciliation against the invoices your providers actually send. Live at cloud.haltonmeter.com.

  • Cross-machine team rollup (one hosted view)
  • Reconciliation: captured spend ↔ provider invoices
  • Optimisation advisories, anomalies, and forecasts
  • Branded PDF cost reports for clients
  • Per-project, per-developer rollups
  • Slack notification channels for budget alerts
  • Scheduled report emails

Business+

BY ENQUIRY

By enquiry.

The hosted top tier, sales-led. Everything in Team, plus the governance and identity surface larger estates ask for.

  • SAML 2.0 + SCIM provisioning
  • Cost centers with dollar tie-out
  • Executive analytics dashboard
  • Hard Block + model policies: enforced locally by every daemon, fail-safe
  • Individual budgets (warn-only)
  • Hash-chained audit feed with export
  • Reconciliation against provider invoices
  • Org HQ for multi-workspace estates
  • Enterprise daemon build: self-contained, SHA-256-verified macOS binary

− shipping  ·  ○ planned

Enterprise

SALES-LED

By enquiry.

On-prem deployment of the Cloud backend for workloads that cannot leave the building. Distinct from Business+, which is the hosted top tier. Every engagement is scoped with your infrastructure team before we commit to anything.

  • Deployment inside your network, scoped per engagement
  • Data residency on your infrastructure
  • Commercial terms agreed per engagement

§ 02 What we will not build

The anti-list.

The build plan is honest only if the no-list is honest. These are commitments, not omissions: telling you what you are buying into.

  • A marketplace

    No third-party adapters store, no plugin economy. Adapters live in the daemon, vetted by us.

  • Agent orchestration

    Halton Meter measures spend. It is not a runtime, a router, or a control plane.

  • A generic observability platform

    No traces, no logs, no APM. LLM cost is the surface; the page does not creep.

  • Vendor-cloud capture of your request bodies

    The Solo daemon stores bodies locally. The Team tier rolls up metadata and computed cost. Bodies stay on your machine unless you opt them in.

  • A mobile app

    You do not need a phone to read a cost report. The dashboard is responsive; that is the contract.

  • A free hosted tier of the cloud

    The daemon is free forever and genuinely useful on its own. The cloud tier covers a real cost; we will not subsidise it with a freemium funnel.

§ 03 Provenance

If we change the plan, the date moves.

The daemon, Solo, and Team are shipping today. Cloud went live on 22 May 2026, a quarter ahead of the original Q3 2026 commitment. Capabilities marked “planned” ship when they ship; we will not pre-announce them. Business+ and Enterprise are by enquiry. If your workload has data-residency requirements the hosted cloud cannot meet, talk to us about Enterprise.
