VectorBrain and VectorBrain.Design are $25 each, paid once, and every future update is included. VectorBrain Viewer is free. None of them runs a server, so there’s nothing to charge you monthly. The only other bill is your AI models, on your own OpenRouter key.

Paid to us
- $25 an app, once. $45 for both.No renewal, no seat count, no account to sign in to, and no charge for updates.
Paid to your provider
- What your models use.OpenRouter bills your own key at each model’s published rate. Both apps call it directly, so we add nothing and see none of it.
- a subscription
- a seat
- a tier
- an account
- a paid upgrade
- a markup on your models
No server to run means no cost that grows with use, so there is nothing to recover monthly.
01How the ceiling is worked out
See the model bill before it arrives.
VectorBrain never forecasts. It shows what you have, what a conversation may spend, and the most a crew could cost.
A model with no published rate says so, and its ceiling stays blank rather than guessing.
- Credit
- Your OpenRouter balance, in the left drawer.
vb-cmd-llm/src/provider.rs - Ceiling
- A dollar limit per conversation, if you set one. None by default.
vb-agent/src/commands.rs - Worst case
- Shown before a crew starts: every member’s step cap at its model’s rate.
vb-agent/src/crew.rs - 7 days
- Spend per day, on Today, from the journal.
vb-db/src/budget.rs

The details,
for the careful.
How much do VectorBrain and VectorBrain.Design cost?
Each one is $25, paid once. Both together are $45. There is no subscription, no per-seat price and no tier.
Do updates cost extra?
No. Paying once for an app covers every future update of that app.
Do I need both?
No. Each works on its own. VectorBrain is the AI workspace for chat, documents, design and code. VectorBrain.Design is a full design studio for logos, shirts, posters and social graphics. If you want both, the pair is $45 instead of $50.
Is VectorBrain Viewer really free?
Yes. Viewer costs nothing and needs no purchase. It shows everything your AI tools make in one folder, as thumbnails, and works with or without the other two apps.
Why is there no subscription?
The apps run on your computer and there is no server behind them, so there is no running cost that grows with use and nothing to meter. A monthly charge would pay for a service that does not exist.
What else will I pay for?
Model usage. Every model call goes through your own OpenRouter key, OpenRouter bills you at the published rate of the model you picked, and nothing is added to it. How costs are shown
How much will models cost me a month?
It depends on which models you use and how much. This site publishes no typical monthly figure because nobody has used the apps yet to take one from. VectorBrain shows your OpenRouter credit, an optional dollar ceiling per conversation, and a worst-case ceiling before a crew starts.
Can I use VectorBrain without paying for models?
Partly. Keyword search over your project files and browsing the model catalog work with no key. Anything that sends a prompt to a model needs an OpenRouter key. First run with no key
Is there a free trial?
That has not been decided. This page will say so when it is.
Can I buy them today?
Not yet. There is no public installer and no checkout yet. The download page says where things stand. Download
Do you take a cut of my model spending?
No. The apps call OpenRouter directly with your key. There is no server of ours in the path, so there is nowhere a markup could be added.
