Simple, transparent pricing

Mode 1 is one HexaEight identity bound to one machine, self-installed. It serves customers who want sovereignty. Mode 2 is a Marketplace VM that hosts unlimited identities under your own domain. It serves enterprises building their own product with their own identity layer. Different buyers. Not competing tiers.

When you need tamper-evident audit trails (signed requests, signed responses, signed log entries) that hold up in front of regulators, auditors, or courts. Common cases: EU AI Act compliance, DPDPA accountability, HIPAA-relevant AI processing, AML decisioning, multi-device coding context integrity. Add Signature to any identity from Mode 1 or Mode 2.

Signatures are self-contained JWTs with the verification key embedded in the JWT itself. Anyone can verify without contacting HexaEight servers, without an account, without paying any fee, and completely offline. We monetize signing, not verification. The more people verify for free, the more valuable the signature becomes.

Yes. That is the Mode 2 use case. A partner buys a Marketplace VM at $144/core/month, hosts hundreds of identities on it, and resells each at any price, including below our direct $72 rate. We do not undercut our partners. We sell the primitive. Partners make the money on top.

Bedrock and Foundry are AI gateways. HexaEight is the identity layer that sits in front of them. We don't compete with hyperscalers. We provide a cryptographic identity primitive that they (or you) can bundle and resell on top of their own AI services.

The license is cryptographically tied to the specific machine it was activated on. Activation creates a hexaeight.mac file and an env-file containing the hostname, login token, password, and license code. Copying these files to a different machine will not work; the license validates against the original machine's environment. One license, one machine.

Yes. Activate a Marketplace VM (Mode 2), move the identities you want to migrate, and let the Mode 1 license expire naturally. Mode 1 and Mode 2 can also run side-by-side indefinitely.

The HexaEight platform runs on Microsoft Azure, which gives us inherited SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 / 27017 / 27018, HIPAA BAA, and (in Azure Gov regions) FedRAMP at the infrastructure layer. Additional application-layer attestation details are available to enterprise customers under NDA.
