Is FGCV Open Core really free for production use?

Yes. The Open Core SDK is Apache 2.0 on GitHub (14,800+ stars, 3.2M monthly PyPI downloads) and can be used in production at no cost. It includes the FGCV Eval Suite, core training APIs, and the FGCV-X1 edge runtime for up to two concurrent GPUs. Pro and Enterprise unlock additional GPU throughput, governance features, active learning loops, and SLA-backed support.

How is FGCV Pro metered?

Pro is billed per active GPU-hour for training and per million inference calls for deployed models, with monthly minimums that scale by region. Volume discounts begin at 16 concurrent GPUs. You can see your usage and projected bill in the FGCV console at any time — no surprise overage billing without an alert threshold you set.

What does Enterprise pricing include that Pro does not?

Enterprise adds SSO/SAML, audit logging, role-based access controls, dedicated support with a named solutions engineer, custom SLAs, the active learning loop module, on-prem and air-gapped deployment options, and a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. Enterprise is scoped annually based on your deployment shape, GPU footprint, and regional footprint.

Do you support on-prem and air-gapped deployments?

Yes. FGCV has documented on-prem and air-gapped deployments at three Fortune 100 manufacturers, including Siemens and BMW. On-prem Enterprise customers receive a hardened installer, offline license server, and a deployment engineer for the initial rollout. Air-gapped environments are supported with quarterly offline updates.

Can I get a SOC 2 report and HIPAA documentation before procurement review?

Yes. Enterprise prospects can request our SOC 2 Type II report, ISO 27001 certificate, HIPAA BAA template, and a completed CAIQ (Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire) under NDA through your solutions engineer after the initial demo. Security documentation is typically delivered within two business days.

What happens during the 30-minute technical demo?

A solutions engineer — not a sales generalist — walks through your specific CV workload, benchmarks FGCV-X1 latency on your target hardware (Jetson Orin, T4, or A100), and scopes an Enterprise quote based on your deployment shape. You leave the call with a written latency benchmark and a draft pricing model, whether or not you proceed.

00 — Pricing

Three tiers. One platform. Enterprise pricing is scoped to your deployment — not guessed from a webpage.

FGCV runs on a single, versioned platform that takes a model from labeled dataset to monitored, GPU-efficient production. Open Core is free for individual developers. Pro scales to teams shipping in production. Enterprise runs through a solutions engineer.

01 — Tiers

Three tiers, one platform — the delta is feature density and support ceiling, not the runtime.

Every tier ships the same FGCV-X1 edge runtime, the same SDK, and the same evaluation harness. The difference is the tooling around it: who can collaborate, who gets billed, and how fast a solutions engineer picks up the phone.

The numbers a Director of ML will repeat in the budget meeting.

These three figures are the ones our customers paste into the next quarter's forecast. Each one is grounded in a public benchmark, a Forrester criterion, or a measured deployment cohort — not a marketing estimate.

4.8×faster

Time-to-production

Across 312 measured CV deployments in 2024, FGCV cut model time-to-production by an average of 4.8× versus in-house MLOps stacks stitched from training scripts, label tools, and inference glue.

FGCV is the only CV platform with built-in active-learning loops that have cut labeling costs by 71% across manufacturing defect datasets — measured across enterprise manufacturing customers running continuous annotation.

Pricing on Enterprise is built around these three levers: deployment shape (cloud, hybrid, on-prem, air-gapped), inference volume, and seat count. A solutions engineer will scope them with you in the demo — not on a webpage.

03 — Procurement

Procurement and security questions, answered in plain language.

These are the questions our buyers' security, finance, and legal reviewers actually send before signing. If yours asks something we haven't covered, the solutions engineer will bring the answer to the demo.

Q.01

What are the commit terms on Pro and Enterprise?

Pro is sold as an annual commit with monthly inference-unit metering overage. Enterprise runs on multi-year MSAs with annual true-ups — typically 2 or 3 years, with renewal pricing locked to the original commit. We do not publish a per-seat list because inference volume varies 50× across CV workloads; we scope it together.

Q.02

How is on-prem and air-gapped pricing structured?

Enterprise on-prem is licensed per edge device and per training-node socket, with a one-time implementation fee that covers the solutions engineer, the integration sprint, and the audit pack handover. Air-gapped deployments at three Fortune 100 manufacturers run entirely on customer hardware; we ship signed binaries and the customer holds the keys. Add roughly 18–25% on top of equivalent cloud Enterprise for air-gap.

Q.03

Is the SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA audit pack available?

Yes. The full audit pack — SOC 2 Type II report, ISO 27001 certificate, HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, and the latest penetration-test summary — is available under NDA through your solutions engineer. FGCV is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certified, with documented on-prem and air-gapped deployments across regulated manufacturing, logistics, and retail customers.

Q.04

What's covered under the open-core license — and what isn't?

The core SDK, the FGCV-X1 runtime for single-node deployment, the public evaluation suite (cited in 140+ peer-reviewed papers), and the CLI are Apache-2.0 and free forever. Multi-region orchestration, the active-learning labeling loop, RBAC/SSO, audit logs, the closed-loop retraining triggers, and the SLA-backed support channels are commercial and live in Pro and Enterprise. The 14,800+ GitHub stars and 3.2M monthly PyPI downloads sit entirely on the open-core side.
