Frequently asked questions
Is Temporal Cortex free?
Yes. The open-source version is free forever with no limits — all 18 tools, all 5 layers, no account required. Run it on your machine with npx @temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp. The managed platform is also free: individuals get 20 bookings/month with all features included, developers get 100 bookings/month with 1,000 API calls/day.
What's the difference between Individual and Developer pricing?
Individual pricing is for people who use AI agents to manage their own calendars — simple 2-tier model (Starter free, Pro $19/month for unlimited). Developer pricing is for those building products with scheduling — 4-tier model with prepaid booking bundles (Starter free, Growth $29/month, Scale $99/month, Enterprise custom). All core scheduling features are available on every tier.
What counts as a booking?
A successful book_slot call that creates a calendar event. Failed or conflicted bookings are free — the safety system preventing a double-booking IS the value, we don't penalize it. Reads, availability checks, RRULE expansion, and temporal context calls are always free and unlimited.
Can I self-host?
Yes. The npm binary runs entirely on your machine — no account, no cloud dependency, no limits. For enterprise self-hosted deployments with the full platform stack (API, database, portal), contact us about Terraform modules and Docker Compose configurations.
What happens when I hit the free tier booking limit?
Near the limit (within 5 bookings), you'll see a warning count in tool responses. At the limit (20 for individuals, 100 for developers), book_slot returns a helpful message with an upgrade link. All other tools (reads, availability, RRULE) continue working normally — only successful bookings count toward the limit.
How do developer overage charges work?
Developer Growth and Scale tiers include prepaid booking bundles (500 and 2,000 respectively). Bookings beyond the included amount are charged at a per-booking overage rate ($0.10/booking for Growth, $0.08/booking for Scale). You can set a monthly budget cap and toggle overage on or off in your dashboard — no surprise bills.
What's the difference between local mode and the managed platform?
Local mode runs on your machine — you own the binary, your data stays local, no account needed. The Temporal Cortex Platform adds managed OAuth lifecycle, multi-agent coordination with distributed locking, usage metering, a dashboard UI, and puts you on the availability network. The upgrade from local to the platform is a capability expansion, not a migration.
