Plans
SootSim is free for local simulator use. Paid account plans unlock cloud-connected workflows: share uploads, CI API keys, desktop recording, shared account workflows, and automatic PR preview flows. 3D mode and its full scene controls are included on every tier.
Plans
| Tier | Price | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Local CLI and browser simulator use. |
| Carbon | $20/mo | Cloud shares, CI uploads, and 90-day preview history. |
| Carbon+ | $100/mo | The same cloud tools with $35 included usage and 365-day history. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Larger teams that need contract terms, SSO, support, or custom limits. |
Usage
Carbon and Carbon+ have unlimited seats. Carbon includes $5 of usage per month; Carbon+ includes $35. SootSim cloud usage is metered transparently in the shared account ledger:
- Build / cloud share upload: $0.10.
- Walkthrough / AI preview: $0.20.
- Test suite: $0.15 per 20-minute runtime block.
The ledger draws from the plan’s included usage first, then prepaid balance. If the account has no available balance or hits a spending cap, billable actions reject until billing is updated.
Retention
Carbon retains previews for 90 days and Carbon+ for 365 days. Enterprise uses its contract policy. These are storage safety limits, not monthly share quotas.
Account Workflows
Paid plans can be attached to a personal account or shared account. Shared accounts own their repos, API keys, cloud previews, and usage ledger. GitHub org linking is an integration for repo access and CI identity; it is not a separate plan.
Managing Billing
Open Billing from SootSim or Contrast to view usage, payment status, caps, and Stripe portal links. API keys are account-scoped and charge usage to the account that owns the key.
