The Free tier covers two AI-first frameworks: AISS (Ayliea AI Security Standard, the organization-wide posture assessment) and AI Agent Security (focused on production LLM-agent deployments — tool-invocation, delegated authority, prompt-injection surface). Take both, see your scores, view the breakdown. Single-user, no AI-personalized recommendations, no PDF report export. Useful as a teaser or for one-off self-assessment. To run additional frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc.) or get AI recommendations, upgrade to Pro.

Pro is for solo practitioners and small security teams running 1–2 frameworks. You pick which additional framework you want alongside AISS (e.g., SOC 2 + AISS, or ISO 27001 + AISS) and get AI-personalized remediation, PDF reports, and the Glass-Box audit trail. Business is for teams running compliance across multiple frameworks — all 7 are unlocked, plus continuous monitoring, vendor risk questionnaires, and advanced trust center.

Enterprise applies when you need custom integrations (SSO into your IdP, SIEM forwarding, ticketing-system writebacks), a dedicated success manager, bespoke compliance framework support, or AISS vertical-bundle consultation. We publish the floor — Starting at $15,000/yr — so you know the bar. Below that, Business covers the use case.

Because hiding price is anti-customer. "Contact us for pricing" is sales-led code for "we'll quote based on what we think you can pay." The Glass-Box positioning that runs through our scoring also runs through our pricing — Enterprise starts at $15,000/yr, full stop. Above that, what you pay reflects what you actually need, not what we guessed about your budget.

Yes, any time. Upgrades take effect immediately (prorated). Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep the features you paid for until then. Downgrade from Business to Pro keeps your existing assessment data but limits which framework you can run going forward.

All paid tiers (Pro, Business, Enterprise) are billed annually. Compliance assessments run on annual cycles, so annual billing aligns with how teams actually use the platform. If cash flow is the constraint on Business or Enterprise, we offer quarterly invoicing on annual contracts.

Annual subscriptions are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period — your account stays live until then. Free tier doesn't bill, so no refund logic applies.

Yes — email hello@ayliea.com with your use case. We commonly extend Business-tier access at Free-tier prices to qualifying non-profits, accredited academic researchers, and active open-source maintainers in adjacent fields.

Yes — AISS (the Ayliea AI Security Standard) is published under CC-BY-4.0 at github.com/Ayliea/aiss. You can fork it, adapt it, or run it manually against your own AI surface without ever touching the Ayliea platform. Our paid tiers are for the platform that scores you against AISS (and the other 7 frameworks) with reproducible math, audit trail, and remediation. The standard itself stays free.
