Pricing
Priced per Worker, per month or per year.
Each Worker takes one issue at a time through the whole pipeline and delivers around a 40-hour work week of output. One flat price per Worker, monthly or yearly, with no usage caps and no token counting.
Plans and pre-orders
Encode opens to the public in January 2027. We will announce the exact date once the last pre-release improvements are done, and people on the notification list hear it first.

At launch every Worker includes human verification: one of our engineers reviews every change, and nothing is merged without their approval. The Autonomous Junior Software Engineer without it is not part of the launch; its "Notify me" link asks us to tell you when it becomes available.
Pre-orders open soon.
Leave your email and we will tell you the moment pre-orders open.
- Leave your work email and how many Workers you expect to need.
- We email you the moment pre-orders open, and again when Encode launches in January 2027.
- Pre-order then, or ignore it. The notification list is deleted three months after subscriptions open, and no entry is kept longer than 12 months.
Before you pre-order
Why January 2027 and not an exact date?
Encode is improving quickly in its final pre-release weeks. We would rather set the date once the remaining work is finished than move it later. People on the notification list hear the date first.
When can I pre-order?
Pre-orders open soon. Leave your email in the form above and we will tell you the moment they do. Leaving your email is not an order and commits you to nothing.
I already have a subscription. Does this change anything?
Your subscription, the dashboard and the billing portal keep working as before. Adding Workers opens again with subscriptions in January 2027; if you need one sooner, email us.
What exactly is a Worker?
One subscription: a slot that takes one issue at a time through the whole pipeline, from research to pull request. Add Workers to run more issues side by side.
Do we have to run our own hardware?
No. Encode runs the Workers on its own infrastructure. You connect your Git environment and add tasks in the dashboard; there is nothing to install.
Which Git environments does Encode work with?
Forgejo and Gitea today. GitHub and GitLab are in development and available at launch. Encode takes issues from your team's Git environment through a git connection set up in the dashboard. Ask us through the contact page if yours is not listed.
