Pricing

Pay for the cloud, not the firewall.

Guardrail runs free on your machine, with no credit card and no time limit. Pro adds the hosted dashboard, longer history, and sync across every machine you own. Team is one flat plan for the whole group.

Blocking requires a supported proxy integration. Codex with a ChatGPT subscription is visibility only; Cursor support is planned. Check compatibility.

What changes between plans.

The firewall itself is the same on every plan. Paying moves your history off one machine and adds the team controls.

Billing questions

Before you pay.

Is there a free plan?
Yes, and it does not expire. Free gives you the local proxy, budget policies, blocking, and the local dashboard with 7 days of history, with no credit card required. The local Free plan needs no email or activation code. Request a code only to try Pro cloud features. Paid plans add the hosted dashboard, 90 day history, and sync across machines.
Is pricing per developer or per workspace?
Pro is per person ($15 per month, or $144 per year). Team is a flat bundle, not a per-seat rate: one price covers up to 5 or 10 seats, so adding a teammate inside your bundle costs nothing extra.
Is my data still private on a paid plan?
Cloud sync sends metadata only— model, token counts, cost, timings. Personal sync is opt-in; Team machines sync by default on supported versions and can opt out. Prompts, responses and code are not included in cloud sync. See the privacy model.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Anytime, from the billing portal in your account. Cancelling leaves you on the paid plan until the end of the period you already paid for, then drops you to Free — the local firewall keeps working either way.
What happens when the trial ends?
Nothing breaks. The trial is the full Pro experience for 7 days; when it lapses your install drops to Free and keeps enforcing budgets locally. An expired plan never blocks the daemon.

Start free. Pay when the cloud is worth it.

The firewall and the local dashboard never expire on the Free plan.
