Bring your own key
No middleman markup on AI usage.
Drop your Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Gemini key into the org settings. Bidwright uses it for the agent, takeoff Ask-AI, knowledge ingestion, and quote review. Your provider bills you directly. We never proxy.
Want to run fully offline? Use LM Studio + Ollama embeddings. No outbound calls.
Approximate AI cost per estimate

Pricing FAQ
Do I need to pay for AI usage on top of my seat?
Yes — but you pay your provider directly, not us. Bidwright is BYOK: drop your Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Gemini key into the org settings and your provider invoices you for usage. A pooled AI add-on (so you don't have to manage keys) is on the roadmap but not available today.
Is the open-source version really the same?
Yes. Same code, same features. The hosted plan is the operations work — backups, scaling, monitoring, updates, support. We do not feature-gate the open-source build.
Can I migrate from hosted back to self-host?
Always. Export your tenant any time — Postgres dump + object storage bundle. The same migration tools work in both directions.
What about AGPL and SaaS use?
If you embed Bidwright in your own SaaS, AGPL applies — you must offer the source to your users. Talk to us about a commercial license if AGPL doesn't fit.
Do you offer a discount for annual?
Yes — 2 months free on annual hosted billing. Enterprise pricing is annual only.
What does the cost include for compute?
Hosted seats include shared compute, Postgres, pgvector, Redis, and 25 GB of storage per seat. We scale it for you.
