Plans
Start free. Subscribe as you grow. Pay only for the hardware you run.
An expansive free tier gets you a cloud IDE, free simulators, and free CPU compute to start. Subscription plans add more resources and support; on-demand credits cover GPU time and quantum jobs when you need them. Credits never expire, cancel anytime.

On-demand compute
Pay-as-you-go · billed in creditsYour plan covers development. Hardware time is pay-as-you-go: spend credits only while an instance is running or a quantum job executes — no reservations, no commitments. Paid plans discount on-demand CPU and GPU rates. QPU and storage charges are separate.
100 credits = $1 · credits never expire
List rates — what Free accounts pay.
QPU jobs bill per task, per shot, and (on a few devices) per minute in credits, at provider-set rates. The tier discount does not apply to QPUs.
Quantum devices (QPU) · provider-set · per job
Rates are provider-set and subject to change; the account devices page has the live list. Several of these QPUs (6 of them) are also available at no qBraid cost through Open Quantum, a separate third-party integration (its own account required).
Simulators · verify before you spend
Test and debug circuits on a simulator before running on hardware. Most are free; paid simulators bill per minute of execution. GPU simulators are free within your plan's daily circuit allowance and bill 5 credits/min past it only when usage-based billing is on.
CPU instances · every plan
Plan CPU hours run on Lab session machines — Small (2 vCPU · 4 GB), Medium (4 vCPU · 8 GB), Large (8 vCPU · 25 GB). With Auto-switch to Credits on, they bill past included hours at $0.12 / $0.24 / $0.48 per hour in credits.
GPU instances · Standard plan or above
Multi-GPU nodes · up to 8× per node

Frequently Asked Questions
What are credits?
Credits power pay-as-you-go usage — QPU jobs, on-demand CPU and GPU instances, and usage past your plan allowances. 100 credits = $1. You buy credits as you need them, they never expire, and organization admins can allocate credits from the organization wallet to members.
How does pay-as-you-go work?
Your plan covers development resources (CPU hours, storage, AI, support). Credits pay for on-demand CPU and GPU compute, paid quantum jobs, and usage beyond your plan allowances, so you never pay for capacity you do not use.
Do paid plans discount on-demand compute?
Yes — a flat discount applies to every on-demand CPU and GPU rate: 10% on Standard and 18% on Pro. Enterprise rates are custom — contact sales. QPU jobs bill at provider-set rates and are not discounted.
How is team billing different from individual?
Team plans are billed per seat (minimum 2 seats) and add collaboration controls like seat assignment. Limits such as CPU hours and storage apply per seat. Enterprise requires a minimum of 10 seats.
How much does annual billing save?
Annual billing is 20% off every paid tier — Standard drops from $20 to an effective $16/mo, and Pro from $100 to $80/mo.
Do you offer student pricing?
Yes. Verified students pay 20% less on personal accounts. Standard is $16/mo and Pro is $80/mo billed monthly, and credits cost $0.80 per $1. Verify with a .edu school email and one document. See student pricing
What GPU options are available?
On-demand NVIDIA GPUs from $0.49/hr — L4, RTX 4090, RTX 6000 Ada, RTX 5090, A10, L40S, A100, GH200, H100, H200, and B200 — plus multi-GPU nodes up to 8× A100, H100, or B200. GPU instances require a Standard plan or above.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel or downgrade to Free at any time, with no contracts and no cancellation fees. Unused credits stay in your account and never expire.
