Frequently asked questions
Is the Free plan actually free forever?
Yes — no trial clock, no credit card, no expiry. It's capped at 1 provider connection, 1 budget (alert-only), 7-day data retention, and $50/mo of tracked spend, but the real-time proxy and attribution never turn off, even past that cap — your app keeps working.
What happens after my tracked spend passes $50/mo on Free?
Your app keeps working exactly as before — the proxy never stops forwarding calls to your AI provider. Cognocient just stops writing new attribution records for the rest of the billing cycle. Upgrade any time to keep tracking, or wait for the next cycle.
Can I try a paid plan before paying?
Yes. Any paid plan (Base, Growth, or Business) offers a 10-day free trial with full Business-plan access, no credit card required. Start it from the Free plan any time — your data and configuration carry over either way.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the start of your next billing cycle, so you keep what you're paying for through the period you've already paid.
What happens if I exceed 3 budgets on the Base plan?
You'll be prompted to upgrade to Growth for unlimited budgets. Existing budgets and their enforcement keep working — you just can't create a 4th until you upgrade.
Does routing calls through Cognocient add latency?
The proxy adds attribution, budget, and velocity checks before forwarding your call to the provider — typically single-digit milliseconds of overhead, well below normal LLM response variance.
How are my AI provider API keys secured?
Provider keys are encrypted at rest and never appear in logs, API responses, or your application code — your app only ever holds a Cognocient proxy key, which can be revoked independently at any time.
Is there a setup fee or long-term contract?
No setup fee and no annual lock-in — all paid plans are billed monthly. Integration is a base_url change in your existing OpenAI/Anthropic SDK client, not a migration project.
