Everything in Pro, plus:

  • Admin controls and team management
  • Single sign-on (SAML and OIDC)
  • Custom task types and custom hooks
  • Negotiated rate on unlimited AI spend
  • Dedicated support and custom integrations

Each plan includes an amount of AI spend every month. Go past it and you pay a small amount for each extra $250 - Basic 3%, Pro 2%. You can set a monthly spending limit from your dashboard, and we show your running total and where it is heading before the bill arrives.

We bill on your AI spend plus what we save you. Today those are the same number, because nothing has been saved yet. As Lineman cuts your bill the split changes, but the total does not, so this estimate holds.

The arithmetic

Controlling the spend costs about 2% of it.

Everything above this line says what each plan contains. This is the part that decides it. Lineman is priced as a share of the AI spend it accounts for: above the amount included each month, Pro charges $5.00 for every $250 tracked, and Basic $7.50. So the question is not whether the plan is affordable. It is whether the rest of the bill can keep going out unattributed.

2%

Pro's rate on tracked spend

$5.00 for every $250 we track above the included amount. Basic is $7.50 per $250, which is 3%.

$229.99

What $10,000 a month costs

Pro's $49.99 base plus the usage above its included $1,000. All in, that is 2.3% of the spend it reports on.

$1,000

Included before the meter starts

Pro's monthly allowance of tracked AI spend. Basic includes $500. Below the allowance, the plan price is the whole bill.

A provider console can show you an API key and a total. The 2% is what puts a developer, a repository, a branch and a ticket against the rest of it.

Every plan starts with a free first month. A card is required at signup.

What you get and how it works

Lineman is an MCP server that runs alongside your AI coding assistant. When your assistant calls a data-heavy tool, Lineman intercepts the result and returns a compressed summary, cutting cloud-LLM token spend without changing your workflow.

Compatibility

  • Claude Code (CLI, desktop, IDE), primary target
  • Other MCP-compliant hosts (Cursor, Cline) coming soon
  • macOS, Linux, Windows, Node.js 20+
  • Network access to api.lineman.io required

Billing and cancellation

Subscriptions renew on the same date each month or year. You can cancel at any time from your account dashboard; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and access continues until then. Consumers buying a paid plan are asked at checkout to consent to immediate supply of the digital service, which waives the 14-day cancellation right under the 2013 Regulations once supply has begun. Business buyers (those who supply a VAT number, registered company name, or business email at signup) are not subject to the consumer cancellation regime. See the Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy for the detail.

Your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, that the service must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described, are not affected by anything on this page.
