Simple, Transparent Pricing
Full defence pipeline for free. New installs get a 14-day Pro trial automatically, then Free stays free until you decide to activate a licence key or add cloud.
Every new install starts with a 14-day Pro trial.
That means custom patterns, custom Iron Dome policies, audit export, LLM verification, and deep skill scanning are available immediately without a card or account.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do licence keys work?
After subscribing via Stripe, your licence key is shown on screen — copy it and activate locally with shieldcortex license activate <key>. Pro features unlock instantly, no cloud connection required. Your key is verified offline using Ed25519 signatures.
What's the difference between Pro and Team?
Pro unlocks custom rules, policies, exports, and paid-plan team invites — all running locally on your machine via a licence key. Team adds cloud sync: centralised audit logs, shared custom patterns, device heartbeat visibility, and one shared dashboard across multiple devices. To connect a developer workstation or Linux server to Cloud, activate the Team licence locally, set the Cloud API key, enable cloud sync, and run the persistent worker on headless machines.
What stays free?
The full 6-layer defence pipeline, unlimited local scans, the local dashboard, Iron Dome with built-in profiles, MCP memory system with knowledge graph, and all agent integrations (Claude Code, OpenClaw, VS Code, Cursor). These will never be gated.
Can I self-host?
The npm package runs entirely locally — no cloud required. For teams wanting a private cloud deployment with centralised management, see the Enterprise plan.
How does billing work?
Subscribe via Stripe — no credit card required for Free. Cancel anytime and keep access until the end of your billing period. Your licence key includes a 7-day grace period for failed payments.
All plans include: full 6-layer defence pipeline, Iron Dome with built-in profiles, MCP memory system, unlimited local scans, npm package updates, macOS/Linux/Windows support
