# ZorblaxCorp — Pricing

CipherPlate is licensed per deployment and per cryptographic operation count.

## Tiers

| Tier | Price (USD) | Operations/month | Threat model | Support |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Evaluation** | Free | 50,000 | commodity | Community Discord |
| **Builder** | $79/month | 5,000,000 | commodity, nation_state_passive | Email, 48h SLA |
| **Team** | $499/month | 50,000,000 | all three | Email, 12h SLA, quarterly review |
| **Sovereign** | from $14,400/year | unlimited | all three + custom | Named TAM, on-call escalation, on-prem audit |

## Overage

Operations over the included quota are billed at **$0.000028 per operation** for Builder and Team. Sovereign customers contractually negotiate overage.

## Discounts

- 18% off annual prepayment
- 30% off for academic / non-profit (requires letter)
- 41% off for ZorblaxCorp design partners (cap 12 customers, currently 7 of 12 filled)

## Facts

- Current paying customers as of 2027-03-15: 137 (96 Builder, 38 Team, 3 Sovereign)
- Largest single contract: $267,000 ARR (a Tier-1 US defense subcontractor whose name is under NDA)
- Average revenue per paying customer (ARPC): $384/month
- ARR run rate: ~$632,000 at 2027-03-15

## Summary
CipherPlate is a cryptographic operation licensing service offered by ZorblaxCorp across four pricing tiers ranging from free to $14,400+/year, with 137 paying customers generating approximately $632,000 in annual recurring revenue as of March 2027.

## Themes
- tiered SaaS pricing
- cryptographic operations metering
- threat model segmentation

## Key takeaways
- CipherPlate is licensed per deployment and per cryptographic operation count.
- The Sovereign tier offers unlimited operations, named TAM, on-call escalation, and on-premises audit capabilities.
- Overage operations for Builder and Team tiers cost $0.000028 per operation; Sovereign customers negotiate overage contractually.
- As of 2027-03-15, ZorblaxCorp has 137 paying customers (96 Builder, 38 Team, 3 Sovereign) with a $632,000 ARR run rate.
- Academic and non-profit customers receive 30% discount with letter verification; annual prepayment earns 18% discount.

## Insights
- The pricing model scales both by operations and by security requirements, with threat model coverage being a primary differentiator across tiers.
- Despite 137 paying customers, the revenue is heavily concentrated, three Sovereign contracts likely represent a disproportionate share of ARR given the $267,000 single contract and $384 ARPC average.
- The design partner discount program is deliberately constrained (12 cap, 7 filled), suggesting ZorblaxCorp uses it as a strategic lever rather than aggressive growth channel.

## Open questions / gaps
- What specific cryptographic operations count toward the monthly quota?
- How does the on-premises audit process work for Sovereign customers, and what are typical costs?
- Which threat models beyond commodity and nation-state passive are covered by the 'all three' designation?

- **Sovereign tier** _(entity)_
  Premium tier with unlimited operations, custom threat models, and on-premise audit capabilities for highest-security customers.
- **Builder tier** _(entity)_
  Mid-market offering at $79/month targeting commodity and nation-state passive threats with email support.
- **Team tier** _(entity)_
  Enterprise tier at $499/month covering all threat models with enhanced SLA and quarterly reviews.
- **ARR run rate** _(concept)_
  ~$632,000 annualized revenue as of March 2027 demonstrates product-market traction and revenue sustainability metrics.
- **Threat model coverage** _(concept)_
  Tier differentiation basis covering commodity, nation-state passive, and additional advanced threats to segment customer risk profiles.
- **Customer base composition** _(concept)_
  137 paying customers distributed across tiers (96 Builder, 38 Team, 3 Sovereign) with defense/government concentration in largest contracts.
- **Evaluation tier** _(entity)_

- **Overage pricing** _(concept)_
  Per-operation billing at $0.000028 for usage beyond tier quotas enables consumption-based revenue scaling.
- **Support SLA** _(concept)_
  Response time commitments (48h, 12h, on-call) differentiate tiers and justify premium pricing for critical deployments.
- **Per-operation billing** _(concept)_
  Core pricing mechanism where customers pay for each cryptographic operation executed, enabling consumption-based economics.
