Hermes Agent pricing
What does Hermes Agent hosting cost?
Managed Hermes Agent hosting starts at $10 per month on Starter, or $5 per month when billed annually. Pro is $20 per month, or $10 per month annually, and raises the limit from 1 to 5 active deployments. Both plans include the managed runtime, so the subscription replaces the server, Docker, and gateway work you would otherwise own.
What is included in every Hermes Agent plan?
- A fully managed Hermes Agent deployment in an isolated runtime.
- A guided setup flow that replaces manual VPS, Docker, and gateway work.
- Channel connections for Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp.
- Model selection across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Kimi, and GLM.
- Usage included per plan, with no separate API key purchase required to start.
- Account-level cancellation, so a monthly plan stays low commitment.
Which plan do you need?
The decision is almost entirely about how many assistants you need online at once. Starter covers one active deployment, which is the right size for a single assistant in one channel. Pro raises the ceiling to five active deployments and adds operational features that matter once more than one person depends on the agent.
- Starter — $10 per month
- 1 active Hermes Agent deployment, a free trial without a credit card, and Telegram-ready launch. Choose Starter to prove one workflow before you commit to more.
- Pro — $20 per month
- Up to 5 active deployments, one-click deploy, restart and redeploy, model and channel configuration presets, a deployment status dashboard, basic usage analytics, email support, and commercial usage.
Managed hosting or self-hosting?
A subscription is not the only way to run Hermes Agent. Self-hosting can cost less in cash while asking you to own a VPS, model credits, credentials, backups, upgrades, monitoring, security, and recovery. Managed hosting moves that operating work into the plan, which is usually the cheaper choice once your own maintenance time is priced in.
If infrastructure control is a hard requirement rather than a preference, compare the two paths before you buy: managed vs self-hosted Hermes Agent. For a line-by-line cost comparison, including the buckets self-hosting hides, the Hermes Agent pricing and cost guide works through the same numbers.
How does annual billing work?
Annual billing halves the effective monthly rate. Starter becomes $5 per month billed as $60 per year, and Pro becomes $10 per month billed as $120 per year, which is the discount shown as Save 50% on the pricing selector above. Choose monthly while you are still validating a workflow, and switch to annual once the assistant is part of a routine.
Direct answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does Hermes Agent cost?
Managed Hermes Agent hosting starts at $10 per month on Starter. Pro is $20 per month. Billed annually, Starter drops to $5 per month ($60 per year) and Pro to $10 per month ($120 per year). Every plan covers the managed runtime, so there is no separate server bill to forecast.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Starter includes a free trial and does not require a credit card to begin. You can cancel from your account at any time, and a monthly plan is the lowest-commitment way to test one workflow end to end.
Do I need to supply my own model API key?
No. Managed plans include usage, so you do not have to bring an OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key to launch. If you would rather use your own provider credentials, the API key and model setup guide explains how provider keys, model selection, and fallback models fit together.
How many deployments does each plan include?
Starter includes 1 active Hermes Agent deployment. Pro includes up to 5 active deployments, which is the plan to choose when you need a separate runtime per team, per channel, or per client.
Which chat channels can I connect?
Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp. Each channel uses its own guided connection flow: Telegram connects through a bot token, Discord through bot permissions and message intents, and WhatsApp through a QR session you approve from your phone.
Which AI models can I choose?
You can select from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Kimi, and GLM models during deployment. Choose one model for the first test, then add fallback providers once the workflow produces reliable replies.
Is commercial use included?
Pro lists commercial usage explicitly. If you plan to run Hermes Agent for client work or inside a business process, choose Pro so the deployment limits and support terms match how you are using it.
Should I choose managed hosting or self-host?
Choose managed hosting when you want a persistent assistant online quickly and do not want to own a VPS, Docker, gateway uptime, credentials, backups, or recovery. Choose self-hosting when root access or custom runtime changes are a hard requirement. The managed versus self-hosted decision guide walks through the trade-offs.
