Pay for events. Never for seats.
One meter runs every plan: events ingested. Queries, views, seats and idle storage cost nothing, so the bill grows only when your traffic does.
Three ways in. One engine underneath.

Billing, in plain words.
Any record that lands in a Basalt source: a Kafka message, a CDC row change, a webhook call or an SDK track call. Retries we deduplicate are free.
No. Build as many views, run as many queries and invite as many people as you like. Only ingested events are metered.
Nothing breaks. Every extra million costs $0.18, billed at the end of the month, and you get an email when you cross 80% and 100% of the included volume.
Yes. Set a monthly cap per workspace and choose whether Basalt pauses ingest or only alerts you when it is reached.
Annual Scale plans are 20% lower, at $199 a month and $0.15 per 1M events. Startups under $5M in funding get the first year at half price.
