Straightforward usage

Pay for printing, not failed attempts.

Piqae counts a Cloud job only after the operating system accepts it. Test jobs, cancellations, and failures before that point do not consume paid usage.

01

Accepted job

Counted once after a live-environment agent reports that the OS spooler accepted the job. Test jobs and pre-handoff failures are free.

02

Node allowance

A node is one enrolled computer running Piqae. Workspace members and printers do not consume the node allowance.

03

Retention

Job metadata and document content have separate private-beta policy targets. Automated deletion enforcement remains a release gate and is not represented as active yet.

Compare Cloud plans

The details, side by side.

Human dashboard users and virtual test jobs are unlimited on every Cloud plan.

Questions

Good to know.

Does spooler acceptance mean the page printed?

No. It means the operating system accepted the handoff. Hardware may still fail, jam, or report an ambiguous result.

What happens when the Free plan reaches its limit?

New Cloud jobs are rejected with a structured quota_exceeded response. Jobs already accepted continue delivery.

Are test jobs billable?

No. Only live-environment jobs that reach the OS-spooler-accepted event enter the usage ledger.

How does the annual Pro allowance work?

Monthly Pro includes 25,000 accepted jobs each month. Annual Pro includes 300,000 accepted jobs across its annual Stripe billing period, with overage measured against that annual allowance.

Can pricing shown here differ from checkout?

No plan amount or limit is editable in the CMS. Checkout opens only after the configured Stripe price matches the server catalog; Stripe then confirms tax and the final charge.
