Pricing source read:
Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Apache-2.0 covers the SDK with notice obligations, not the proprietary hosted platform. The MSA preserves customer data ownership, permits service processing, and expressly excludes AI/ML training, development or improvement on Customer Data. It still permits nonidentifying Usage Data for improvement and retention under configuration/legal exceptions. Do not extend the MSA promise to every free account: the July 2026 general ToS permits service-operation content use without repeating that express no-training clause. Executed contracts take priority. External models, data and outputs retain separate rights and processing terms. The July 2026 ToS §3.1 limits Individual Users to personal non-commercial use and Business Customers to internal business use; a separately executed agreement governs conflicts.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 editorial score is retained without its original scoring worksheet. This document review did not re-score or measure performance.
Overview
Braintrust organizes evaluations around data, a task and scorers. Code checks or model judges produce experiment scores, with SDK/CI integration for comparing changes. Dataset coverage and scorer design determine what results mean; evaluation support is not proof of production quality or that every regression will be detected.
Hosted plans meter processed data, scores, retention and model use separately. Enterprise self-hosting covers the data plane; UI, authentication and organizational metadata remain in Braintrust's SaaS control plane. Provider requests can leave the VPC, and organization-level provider secrets can reside in that control plane. Review the architecture and applicable contract before logging confidential inputs or outputs.
