How billing works
- Persistent screens are one subscription per organization, paid in advance through Stripe, monthly or yearly. A screen you add is charged for the rest of the period; a screen you delete is credited for the days left.
- Monthly to yearly switches at once, with the unused days credited. Yearly to monthly starts when the paid year ends.
- We email you 30 days before any price rise applies to your screens.
- Each organization has a screen cap, so a runaway agent can't run up the bill.
- Invoices, receipts and your tax ID live in Billing. Unused credit is refunded on request when the account closes.
Compared with others: Kubi against E2B, Daytona, Orgo, Boat and a plain server. The binding terms: Terms, section 10.
Questions
What is the founding price?
Every organization that subscribes before sign-up opens to everyone pays $20 a screen a month instead of $25, for every screen it adds, for as long as it stays subscribed.
Do I pay for a stopped persistent screen?
Yes, the same price. A persistent screen keeps its place on a server and its disk, so it starts again at once and is never refused for lack of room.
How is a disposable screen billed?
By the minute while it runs, rounded up, at $0.035 an hour, from prepaid credit; $0.003 an hour while stopped. A stopped disposable screen is deleted after 7 days unless you start it again. When the credit runs out, running disposable screens stop; persistent ones are never touched.
Is there a free tier?
No free tier, but $5 of credit once when a person adds a card, about 140 hours of a disposable screen.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, in Billing, with no email or call. Persistent screens run to the end of the paid period. Consumers in the EU and the UK can also withdraw within 14 days.
Are there AI credits?
No. Kubi sells the computer, not the agent: you bring your own model and pay its provider.
