Terms

Terms

These terms cover the REA ControlPlane account, the trial, and paid plans. They are between you and REA Research Labs, Inc. Effective November 5, 2026.

The account

You need an account to hold a key. The profile you save (name, role, work email, phone, company, and address) is stored with that account. The password is stored only as a hash. The key is how an agent calls the API. You do not send a card number to the API.

A paid plan is started by a person signed in to the account. An API key cannot start or change a paid plan.

Trial

A new trial requires a payment method collected by Stripe at account creation. REA does not store the card number. The card is not charged during the trial. The trial lasts 7 days. Calls stop at 2,000 forwarded calls, and the card is not charged early. One call is one request REA forwards to the vendor. A call REA stops or refuses is not counted. When the trial ends, that card is charged for the first month of the plan chosen at signup, and the plan renews until you cancel.

You can start Developer Pro or Growth Team at signup instead of the trial. The card is charged for that plan today. The trial limits do not apply.

Cancel before the trial ends and the card is not charged. After the first charge, cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid. It is not prorated.

A code issued by REA can open an account without a card. That account is not billed automatically, unless the code is a program these terms name. A paid plan otherwise starts only after a card is added.

A trial key issued before a card was required is unchanged.

Plans

Prices are in US dollars. LoopGuard, PreFlight, and TraceGuard are included on every plan. There is no add-on for them. REA meters forwarded calls. One forwarded call is one request REA sends to the vendor. A call REA stops or refuses is not counted. Model tokens are billed by the vendor on the key you send. REA does not host the model.

  • Trial: 2,000 forwarded calls, once, and 60 requests a minute.
  • Developer Pro: $79 a month, 50,000 forwarded calls a month, 300 requests a minute.
  • Growth Team: $299 a month, 250,000 forwarded calls a month, 1,200 requests a minute.
  • Developer Pro annual: $758.40 a year, paid in full. Same monthly forwarded-call allowance.
  • Growth Team annual: $2,870.40 a year, paid in full. Same monthly forwarded-call allowance.

An annual plan cannot move to monthly until that year ends. Enterprise has no set price. It is a separate contract. Write to elijah@reacontrolplane.com.

A confirmed program price replaces the list price for that account. The allowance does not change. REA confirms each program and can end it. The university club code is Developer Pro at no charge for the REA plan: no card, no trial clock, and the Developer Pro allowance. Startup and medical prices are a percent off the monthly price, or off twelve months at the monthly price. The percent is not also applied to the prepaid annual price. Tax is still added where a price is more than zero. There are no refunds. The programs are named on Programs.

Payment

Where tax applies, it is added on top of the price. It is not included in the amounts above.

A declined payment ends paid access immediately. There is no grace period. There are no refunds.

You can update the card, download invoices, and cancel from the account. Cancel means the plan runs until the end of the current period and then stops.

Names and marks

REA is not a partner of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Groq, Together, Fireworks, Amazon, OpenRouter, or of any coding agent named on this site.
