El-cro is a paid editor. You bring your own model key, so your license stays affordable and your code never passes through El-cro. Model API usage is billed by your provider unless you choose managed inference.
Prices are introductory and shown per user. Model and API usage from hosted providers is billed separately unless you use El-cro managed inference.
Two ways to run models
Private by default. Managed if you want it.
Bring your own key
Add your provider API key or connect a local model. Requests go directly to your endpoint — El-cro never sees or stores your code or prompts. You pay the provider for usage.
Fully private, direct-to-provider
Works with local models offline
Included on every plan
Managed inference (optional)
Prefer not to manage keys? Add El-cro managed inference and use bundled models with one bill. It is opt-in — turn it off any time to return to fully private bring-your-own-key.
No API keys to manage
One consolidated invoice
Opt-in, never required
How El-cro makes money
We charge a license fee for the editor and its agent features — like a professional developer tool. We do not sell your data, we never train on your code, and bring-your-own-key requests are never proxied through us. Teams and enterprises pay for administration, self-hosting, and support.
