How-to guides

Get the most from your plan

Step-by-step setup for every tier — from spinning up your first agent on Free to governing a workforce on Business.

Free

$0 / month

Wire one project's agents into agentwach in under 10 minutes, with 10k events and 14-day retention.

Who it's for

Solo builders trying agentwach on a single side project or prototype before committing.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. 1
    Create your workspace

    Sign up, name your workspace, and we'll seed a sample agent so the dashboard isn't empty.

  2. 2
    Add your first agent

    Dashboard → Agents → New. Give it a name and pick an SDK snippet (Node, Python, or REST).

  3. 3
    Send your first event

    Paste the snippet into your agent loop. The Live tab turns green the moment the first event lands.

  4. 4
    Set one budget

    Open the agent → Guardrails → set a daily token cap. Even a loose cap catches runaway loops fast.

Pro tips
  • Free retention is 14 days — export anything you want to keep before it rolls off.
  • Stay under 3 agents and 10k events/month, otherwise ingest pauses until next month.
  • Use the CSV upload tab to backfill historical runs without writing code.

Hobby

$19 / month

Everything in Free plus token monitoring, 50k events, 30-day retention, and 10 agents.

Who it's for

Solo developers shipping side projects or indie SaaS that has real users hitting agents daily.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. 1
    Subscribe from Pricing

    Pricing → Subscribe under Hobby. Checkout opens inline — no redirect.

  2. 2
    Turn on token monitoring

    Dashboard → Tokens → Enable. We start tracking cost per agent, per model, per day.

  3. 3
    Add a token alarm

    Tokens → New alarm. Pick threshold (e.g. $5/day) and an email destination.

  4. 4
    Scale to your real agents

    Add up to 10 agents. Tag them by environment (prod/staging) so dashboards filter cleanly.

Pro tips
  • Email forwarding integration lets you ingest agent reports without API code.
  • Hobby keeps 30 days — long enough to debug a weekly incident postmortem.
  • Hitting 40k events/mo? Pro pays for itself once you cross ~80k.

Pro

$79 / month

Unlimited agents, 500k events, 90-day retention, priority support, and full API access.

Who it's for

Small teams running agents in production who need replay debugging and integrations.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. 1
    Invite your team

    Workspace → Members → Invite. Roles: owner, admin, member. Up to 3 workspaces on Pro.

  2. 2
    Issue API keys

    Settings → API Keys → Create. Scope per workspace. Rotate quarterly.

  3. 3
    Wire integrations

    Connect Slack for alerts, OpenTelemetry traces, and CSV bulk upload for offline runs.

  4. 4
    Build a replay session

    Open any incident agent → Replay tab → Step through tool calls and prompts frame-by-frame.

Pro tips
  • Pro unlocks the OTel traces endpoint at /api/public/otel/v1/traces — point any OTel SDK at it.
  • Use guardrails tab to define hard caps that hard-block agents before they burn budget.
  • Schedule weekly export reports from Reports → Export to keep a permanent audit trail.

Team

$199 / month

10 workspaces, 2M events, 1-year retention, SSO prep, and dedicated support.

Who it's for

Engineering teams running agents across multiple products or environments at scale.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. 1
    Plan your workspace topology

    Typical split: prod / staging / per-product. Map this on a whiteboard before creating workspaces.

  2. 2
    Enable SSO prep

    Settings → Auth → request SSO. Support emails you a config template within 1 business day.

  3. 3
    Set up multi-workspace alerting

    Create alarm groups so a single incident pages on-call across workspaces instead of N times.

  4. 4
    Define retention policies

    Reports → Retention. Pin compliance-critical agents to the full 1-year window; let others roll.

Pro tips
  • Team is the sweet spot if you have 3+ engineers pushing agent changes weekly.
  • Use the diagnose tab to attach root-cause notes to incidents — searchable across all workspaces.
  • Overage on Team kicks in at 2M events; budget for $5 per extra 100k.

Business

$499 / month

Everything in Team plus Organization with seats, per-worker agent assignments, and configurable token & cost limits with warn-or-block enforcement.

Who it's for

Companies that need to govern how individual employees use AI agents — with hard limits, per-user reporting, and assignable access.

Setup in 5 steps

  1. 1
    Create your organization

    Org → New organization. Name it after your company. You become the owner automatically.

  2. 2
    Invite workers as seats

    Org → Members → Invite. Pick a role: owner, admin, manager, or member. Invites expire in 7 days.

  3. 3
    Assign agents per worker

    Org → Agents. Drag-assign which agents each employee can use — most workers only need 1–3.

  4. 4
    Set per-user policies

    Org → Policies → New. Define token + cost caps per period, the warn threshold (e.g. 80%), and pick warn-only or hard-block on exceed.

  5. 5
    Review weekly usage

    Org → Usage. Per-employee dashboards show tokens, cost, and which policies fired warnings.

Pro tips
  • Start with warn-only enforcement for two weeks to calibrate, then flip the most expensive agents to hard-block.
  • Org-wide policies (no agent set) act as a safety net; per-agent policies override them.
  • Use manager role for team leads — they can edit assignments but not billing.

Enterprise

Custom

SAML SSO, private deploy, custom retention, and a dedicated SLA on top of every Business feature.

Who it's for

Regulated industries and large orgs needing private infra, identity federation, and contractual guarantees.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. 1
    Book a scoping call

    Contact → Enterprise. We'll align on identity provider, data residency, and SLA needs.

  2. 2
    Configure SAML SSO

    We provision your IdP metadata, map groups → org roles, and validate with a pilot group.

  3. 3
    Provision private deploy (optional)

    We deploy a dedicated agentwach instance in your cloud account or ours, with VPC peering.

  4. 4
    Sign the SLA

    Choose 99.9% or 99.95% uptime, RTO/RPO targets, and dedicated support channel.

Pro tips
  • Most enterprises start on Business while SSO and procurement finalize — there's no lock-in to upgrade.
  • Ask about SCIM provisioning if your IdP supports it; it removes manual seat management entirely.
  • Custom retention can go up to 7 years — designed for teams preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 workflows.
