Pricing
You are paying for forecast data, not for compute.
Preparing a forecast package costs money: GRIB files pulled from NOAA and ECMWF, decoded, cut to a corridor and compressed. The search that follows runs on your hardware. Plans are priced on the first part.

Questions
- What counts as one forecast?
- One prepared package: the GRIB pull, decode, corridor extraction and compression for a course and a model. Re-solving a package you already have costs nothing, whether you change departure time or the course inside the same corridor. Requesting a corridor that is already prepared does not spend one either, because it deduplicates on a digest of the request.
- Why is the free tier this large?
- Because the search runs on your machine, so the number of solves does not affect what the service costs to run. Preparation does, and it is largely shared. A free tier that would otherwise have to be a demo can be a working tool.
- Why limit course length instead of solve time?
- Course length, forecast horizon and model resolution determine how much data has to be pulled and decoded, so they are what preparation actually costs. They are also fixed before the request is accepted, which makes them enforceable. Solve time happens in your browser where the server cannot see it, so any limit on it would be decoration.
- What happens when a route expires?
- The share link starts returning "expired" rather than "not found", so someone opening an old link is told what happened rather than left guessing. Export the route beforehand if you need to keep it.
- Does my whole crew need Pro?
- No. Starting a project is what Pro buys; being invited onto one is free. An editor can draw courses, add boats and run routes at the project’s limits, so a co-navigator on the free tier is not stuck with a 150-mile ceiling on your 300-mile race. A viewer is read-only and does not borrow those entitlements.
- What does a project keep?
- The courses you drew, the boats you set up, and every run anyone made — who asked, which boat, which version of which course, and what came back. Those stay as long as the account does. The weather a project archives is the one part that ages out, after 90 days, because forecast data is bulky and cheap to re-fetch while a run record is neither.
