# Pricing & FAQs

## Pricing

\[code]smith is priced at \$1.75 per agent compute unit. Agent compute units are a composite metric that combines LLM time, sandbox resources and context window size into one metric.

Today, agent compute units map to approximately 1 minute of LLM thinking time from the latest frontier models. Subagents accrue agent compute units independently.

[Autofix](/codesmith/autofix) is billed based on the agent compute units \[code]smith uses to fix your PR.

We've intentionally priced \[code]smith to support frontier levels of intelligence. As \[code]smith develops, we expect to offer dedicated intelligence tiers for different tasks, and will look to price those competitively.

### Cost controls

\[code]smith automatically suspends a session when it first reaches \$100 in cumulative spend. To resume the session, you must confirm that you wish to continue via the web UI for that session.

### Progressive billing

\[code]smith bills incrementally for usage. The first time your combined monthly usage including runners crosses \$100, you will be invoiced.

If a charge fails, access to \[code]smith may be restricted. CI runners will continue to run and accrue charges. You can restore access by paying your invoice from [Billing and Usage](https://app.blacksmith.sh/usage).

### Context usage

Agent compute units scale with context usage. Long-running sessions will have to maintain more context and compact context frequently, which can drive up costs significantly. Prefer starting new sessions when doing new work.

## Data retention and sharing

We use a mix of LLM model providers, all configured with **zero data
retention**.

Some models, including the latest Anthropic models, require data retention. Admins can explicitly opt-in to these models from \[code]smith onboarding or the [Settings](https://app.blacksmith.sh/settings?tab=codesmith) page.

Prompts and repository context are used only to complete your
task. **We do not train on user code**.

To enable \[code]smith to make cross-repo changes, we create an index based on the codebases you store with us. You can disable this index from [Settings](https://app.blacksmith.sh/settings?tab=codesmith).

For broader privacy terms, see the [privacy policy](/about/privacy-policy).

## Connector permissions

When you connect MCP tools, each server has an **Availability** scope in \[code]smith:

\[code]smith sessions are visible to all other users across your GitHub organization.

Each session can access configured **team MCPs** for the organization plus the session
owner's **personal MCPs**. To add or manage servers, see
