Pricing

Governance costs less than a single quarter of ungoverned decisions.

Outflow decisions, refunds, goodwill credits, payouts, transfers, disputes, application fee refunds, made without a policy layer compound into inconsistency, approval drift, and exceptions that become defaults. Axiru gives you a single governance layer that applies to every source, every time.

💡 Break-even math:
If Axiru prevents one bad refund worth $800 per month, Control pays for itself.
Monthly Axiru cost ÷ average prevented refund value = your break-even decisions.

Annual billing. Annual plans are billed at 10 months for the price of 12, 2 months free. Control annual: $599/mo (billed $7,188/yr). Scale: contact sales for annual terms.

At 2,500 decisions/month, Axiru Control costs $799/mo and could prevent $17,000 in monthly leakage — a 21.3x return.

How it works

What counts as a decision?

Understand exactly what you pay for before you commit.

A live governed decision is any outbound Stripe action evaluated by Axiru's policy engine with live enforcement active: refunds, goodwill credits, payouts, Connect transfers, disputes, and platform fee refunds. Auto-allowed, blocked, and approver-routed outcomes all count once.

Shadow mode replays and historical imports are always free, they never count toward your decision volume.

Need policies that cite live external evidence (carrier tracking, Stripe disputes, merchant ToS) at decision time? Evidence Agent is available as a Control add-on and included at Enterprise.

FAQ

Common questions

Clear answers for self-serve onboarding.

Can I start in shadow mode?

Yes. Every new workspace begins in shadow mode. You only pay when you activate live enforcement.

Can I upload last 90 days?

Yes. Historical import is built into the free evaluation path. Shadow mode import does not count against decision volume.

Do I need to talk to sales?

No. You can start, evaluate, and run simulation entirely without contacting sales, Free Audit, Live Launch, and Control are all self-serve.

When do I connect Stripe?

Connect Stripe at onboarding for live event ingestion, or upload historical data first. Read-only access only during shadow mode.

Can I simulate before enforcement?

Yes. Simulation and replay happen before you turn on live enforcement, no production risk.

What does the Stripe connection require?

Read access to refund, dispute, payout, transfer, and customer balance events via Stripe webhook. We do not store payment method data. Connection is scoped to outflow governance events only.

Is there an annual billing discount?

Yes. Annual plans are billed at 10 months for the price of 12 (2 months free). Control annual is $599/mo, billed as $7,188/yr. Switch at any time from your dashboard or contact us.

What happened to the Growth plan?

We replaced it with Live Launch ($199/mo), which is better for low-volume teams, and Control ($799/mo), which is the right fit once you're processing more than 2,500 decisions/month.

Can I set a spend cap?

Yes. Live Launch and Control plans support a monthly spend cap. We notify you at 80% and again at 100%. You can adjust or remove the cap from your billing settings.

What does the Enterprise conversation look like?

We discuss decision volume, multi-workspace setup, SOX controls, SSO requirements, and whether outcome-based pricing fits your model.

Next step

Whether your team is human, automated, or somewhere in between, governance starts here.

"Our team makes hundreds of refund, payout, and credit decisions a day. Some are human reps. Some may be automated. None of them are governed by a consistent policy with an audit trail. Axiru's shadow mode will show us, in dollars, what that costs across every outflow rail, before we spend anything on enforcement."

Start in shadow mode first. Move to live enforcement later.
