Contact us about Enterprise

Trials

When an offer includes a 7-day trial, your payment method is collected at signup and the subscription fee is not charged at signup. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the paid subscription begins when the 7-day trial ends and your payment method is charged automatically at the price disclosed at signup, plus applicable taxes. Cancelling during the trial prevents that first charge. Trial capacity on Studio runs at the Base plan's limits. Bring your own AI providers; no Auteur-managed inference is included. See the Terms of Service and the Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Questions

Is there a free plan? No. Instead, founding-beta pricing: founders lock in today's prices for 12 months. Most single products, Studio Solo and Studio Swarm can also start with a 7-day trial: card required, and it converts to paid unless you cancel. Studio Team has no trial.

What does founding beta mean? Founders lock in today's prices for 12 months. Prices may change later for new customers. Founding seats are limited and offered first come, first served.

Do I need my own AI provider account? No. You can buy Auteur credits, bring your own provider keys, run models on your own machine, or mix all three.

Do you mark up AI usage? No. We don't mark up AI usage. Credits are spent at the provider's list price; the value goes to you. With your own keys, your provider bills you directly and Auteur charges nothing per call. Credit terms are in the Terms of Service.

Will credits I buy expire? Pack credits do not expire while your account remains open. They are forfeited when the account is closed, unless refunded. There is no automatic top-up. Credit purchases are non-refundable except as stated in the Terms of Service.

Do monthly credits roll over? No. Credits included in a monthly credit subscription are for that month only and do not roll over; anything unused lapses when the month renews. Pack credits do not expire while your account remains open, and are used only after the month's included credits run out. See the Terms of Service.

Are there fees on credit packs? No. Auteur pays the card processing fee; you pay the pack price and get its full value in credits.

Is the Skool community included? Yes. Every seat, on every plan, includes membership in the Auteur Intelligence Skool community: live courses on every room of the studio. See the Skool.

Can I run models on my own computer? Yes, on every plan. Pair your machine through the Bridge (early access) and the hardware check shows which models fit. There is no charge per use; each plan includes Local Nodes, and you can add more.

Does Film include Prep? Film includes Story and Prep essentials: script breakdown and per-shot planning stills. Full Prep (budget planning with actuals, scheduling, the 11 department dossiers and the Production Review lane) is its own product: a Film customer who wants it adds Prep, $79 + $49 a month. Every Studio plan includes everything.

What is the difference between Studio Solo, Swarm and Team? All three include every product. Swarm runs more work in parallel and pairs more Local Nodes for one person. Team adds members. The comparison table has the exact numbers.

Does the annual price ever change once I am on it? Standard annual is 2 months free versus paying monthly. Founding prices, including Founding Annual on Studio, are locked for 12 months.

What happens if I change plans? An upgrade takes effect straight away, prorated. A downgrade takes effect at the end of your billing period, and it never deletes your data: anything over the new limit is kept, dormant, until you need it.

Can I get a refund? We refund your first-ever payment to Auteur in full if you ask within 14 days, and the request closes the subscription. That refund is available once per customer, applies to subscription payments, and does not cover charges from the AI and media providers you connect. Auteur credit purchases are non-refundable except as stated in the Terms of Service. See our Refund and Cancellation Policy for the full rules.

Can Auteur run entirely on our own servers? Yes. For privacy-focused teams we offer fully private, on-premises builds with local AI models, or a custom-hosted server setup on your own infrastructure. Contact us.

Is Auteur Science for sale? Yes. Science Starter, Solo, Pro and Lab are on the Science tab, and academic and non-profit teams get 20% off after verification. The research library is part of every product.
