ChaseOS Studio v1 is live: local-first by default, more headroom when you need it

Community stays free. Paid plans add managed Cloud credits and more headroom without turning ChaseOS into somebody else’s workspace.

I built ChaseOS Studio around a straightforward rule: upgrading the product should not mean giving up control of the work.

Studio v1 is now live. You can start with the free Community plan, keep your workspace local, bring your own keys and choose what your agents are allowed to do. If you need more managed capacity, Pro, Studio Plus and Studio Max are available through live checkout.

What the current product looks like

The short product cut shows the live pricing experience and inspectable companion profiles. Across the wider product, ChaseOS brings three parts of the system together:

• Inspectable companion profiles instead of anonymous background automation.
• A visible knowledge graph so agents and context do not disappear as work moves.
• Governed terminal work that keeps operational activity inside one private command layer.

The point is not to hide complexity behind another chat box. The point is to make the system understandable while it is working.

The plans are live—and the rollout labels matter

Community remains free and local-first. Pro, Studio Plus and Studio Max add larger managed Cloud credit allowances and more headroom for builders who want ChaseOS Cloud to handle more of the running.

Some individual managed Cloud capabilities are still rolling out. The pricing page marks their current stage rather than implying that every capability is already complete. Agent fleets remain planned.

That distinction matters: the plans and checkout are live, while specific managed capabilities can continue to ship separately.

Start where you are

You do not need to move your entire workflow into a hosted environment to start using ChaseOS. Begin locally with Community, then choose a paid plan if managed credits and additional capacity fit the way you work.
