Cost transparency

Free to use.
Honest about cost.

The anonymous alpha uses an existing Vercel Pro team. No database, managed object store, scheduled monitoring, or transactional email service is active for OpenBIMI yet.

Current incremental footprint

Expected additional monthly platform costApproximately US$0

while traffic remains inside unused existing Vercel Pro allowances

This is an engineering estimate, not a promise that infrastructure has no cost. The Suped team already pays for Vercel Pro, domain registration is separate, and usage growth can create overages. OpenBIMI does not yet publish invoice-derived monthly totals.

What is active now

Vercel application

Next.js pages and bounded server functions run in the existing Pro team.

No product database

Anonymous checks are not persisted. Neon is planned only when domain claims and managed deployments begin.

No managed asset store

Uploaded source artwork stays local. Vercel Blob is planned for managed SVG and PEM hosting in beta.

Managed Beta planning envelope

These are architecture estimates from the service plan, not measured production spending. Actual cost will depend on checks, asset transfer, storage, database activity, alerts, and provider pricing at launch.
