## Cost Examples
To illustrate the difference between tiers, here are example monthly costs for an account running 10 active Cores with no add-ons:
- **Enterprise:** $400 membership + (10 × $10) = **$500/mo**
- **Consultant:** $200 membership + (10 × $15) = **$350/mo**
- **Pay-As-You-Go:** $0 membership + (10 × $55) = **$550/mo**
The most cost-effective tier depends on how many Cores you run:
- **14 Cores:** Pay-As-You-Go is cheapest — no membership fee offsets the higher per-Core rate at low volume.
- **539 Cores:** Consultant is cheapest — the $200 membership fee is recovered through lower per-Core pricing compared to Pay-As-You-Go.
- **40+ Cores:** Enterprise is cheapest — the crossover point where the $10/Core rate makes the $400 membership fee worthwhile.
These breakpoints assume no add-ons. Add-on pricing also varies by tier, so accounts with heavy add-on usage may find the breakeven shifts in favor of a higher tier sooner.
