Standard

Standard — monthly billing

• $500 per active seat per month, charged on the 1st of your billing cycle.
• Renews automatically every month until you cancel.
• Cancel anytime in Settings → Billing — access continues to the end of the paid period.
• Adding a seat is pro-rated for the remainder of the cycle.
• Removing a seat takes effect at the next renewal.
• Hard usage caps protect you from runaway costs; admins are notified at 80% of any limit.

Enterprise (annual)

• Annual contract under a written order form (MSA).
• Billed annually in advance; net 30 invoice terms available.
• Auto-renews each year unless either party gives at least 30 days' written notice before term end.
• Custom usage limits, no source cap, named SLAs.
• Includes custom DPA, security review, and optional data residency (US / EU).

Pricing FAQ

Can I cancel Standard online?

Yes. Open Settings → Billing → Manage billing. You keep access through the end of the current monthly cycle. No phone call required.

How does the 30-day Enterprise notice work?

For annual Enterprise plans, either party may decline renewal by sending written notice at least 30 days before the term ends. Without that notice, the contract auto-renews for another 12 months.

What counts as a seat?

Each member of your workspace. Adding a member adds one seat at $500/month, pro-rated from the day they join.

What happens if I hit a usage cap?

You're alerted at 80%. At 100%, ingestion / AI queries pause to protect you from surprise costs. Bump seats or contact sales to upgrade.

Are there setup fees?

None on Standard. Enterprise may include optional onboarding or migration services quoted separately.

Refunds?

Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law. Email michael@chabercompliance.com for billing-error disputes.

Ask your logs in plain English

No SPL. No KQL. Just a question. Chaberista answers from your AI logs and returns a compliant, citation-backed summary with PII redacted at ingest.

“Did anyone paste customer SSNs or credit cards into Claude this week, and which workspaces were involved?”

Chaberista will answer from your redacted AI logs with citations.

Ask the redacted logs

Same questions, stricter answers. With Content Privacy Mode on, Chaberista reports on PII flags, MCP connectors, independent AI actions, database & file uploads, flagging, and alerts — never the message text itself. Reveal is gated to owners, admins, and the compliance reviewer role and is audit-logged.

Chaberista will answer from metadata only — message contents stay hidden.

Comparison

How Chaberista compares

Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, Sumo Logic, and New Relic are excellent general-purpose log lakes. Chaberista is a purpose-built AI-governance log layer for teams who need to oversee GenAI use, satisfy counsel, and ship a compliance packet on day one — without learning SPL, KQL, or NRQL.

Logging feature	Chaberista	Splunk	Datadog Logs	Elastic / ELK	Sumo Logic	New Relic Logs
AI prompt & response logging First-class capture of every LLM call with redaction.	Native Built-in Claude/OpenAI connectors capture prompt + completion + tokens by default.	DIY parsers No first-party LLM source; teams build HEC pipelines and field extractions.	LLM Obs add-on Requires the LLM Observability product and SDK instrumentation.	DIY pipelines Logstash/Beats + custom ingest pipelines per provider.	DIY parsers Generic HTTP source + field extraction rules; no LLM template.	AI Monitoring add-on Separate AI Monitoring product with agent instrumentation.
Natural-language query over logs Plain English — no SPL, KQL, or NRQL required.	Ask-Logs Default UI: type a question, get a cited answer over your redacted events.	AI Assistant for SPL Generates SPL you still need to read and run.	Bits AI (preview) Limited preview, enterprise gated, still surfaces query syntax.	AI Assistant Helps draft KQL/ES\|QL; not an answer-with-citations layer.	Mo Copilot Assists with Sumo query language; not a primary UX.	NR AI on NRQL Suggests NRQL; results returned as charts to interpret.
Predictable per-seat pricing No surprise bills from log volume spikes.	$500 / seat / mo Flat seat price with hard quotas; ingest spikes can't blow up the bill.	Ingest / workload Priced on GB/day or workload pricing — volume drives cost.	Per GB ingested Indexed logs billed per million events; retention tiers add cost.	Resource-based Cloud bills on RAM/storage; self-hosted has infra + ops cost.	Ingest / credits Credits-based plans scale with daily ingest volume.	Per GB ingested Data Plus tier bills per GB beyond the free 100 GB/mo.
Built-in PII redaction at ingest Redacts before logs hit storage.	Default on Server-side redaction runs before persistence; raw PII never stored.	Props/transforms SEDCMD / props.conf rules; configured per source by admins.	Sensitive Data Scanner add-on Separate product; requires rule packs and tuning.	Ingest processors Redact / grok processors built per pipeline.	Field masking rules Mask rules configured at the collector / source level.	Log obfuscation rules Regex-based obfuscation rules configured per account.
AUP & policy enforcement on log events Block or require approval at log time.	Native AUP rules can block, redact, or route a log event to Approvals in real time.	No Detections fire alerts; no inline block/approve on the event itself.	No Monitors notify; no policy gate on the source event.	No Detection rules + cases; no inline enforcement layer.	No Cloud SIEM signals; no enforcement on ingest.	No Alerts and incidents; no inline gating of log events.
MCP server & tool inventory Track every Model Context Protocol tool Claude can invoke, gate destructive ones with HITL.	Native inventory Auto-discovers MCP servers from audit logs, classifies tools (read/write/destructive/irreversible), enforces HITL, full change audit trail.	No No MCP-aware data source; would require custom collectors per server.	No No first-class MCP inventory; LLM Obs focuses on prompt/response telemetry.	No No MCP integration; teams would parse Claude audit logs by hand.	No No MCP inventory or tool-classification UX.	No AI Monitoring tracks model calls, not MCP tool surface area.
One-click Compliance Packet export Terms + Privacy + DPA + retention/quotas bundled.	Markdown export Admin downloads a single .md with §-cited Terms/Privacy/DPA + live retention & quotas.	No Customers assemble policy docs from trust portal manually.	No Trust center hosts docs; no per-tenant packet export.	No Trust center docs; no in-product packet.	No Trust portal documents; no bundled export.	No Trust center docs; no per-account packet.
Sub-processor transparency + Stripe billing trail	Annex III + deep link DPA Annex III lists Stripe (PCI-DSS L1) with a /dpa#subprocessor-stripe deep link.	Trust portal Sub-processor list published; billing processor not deep-linked from DPA.	Trust center Sub-processor list maintained; payment processor disclosed separately.

Resource limits Cluster limits surface as errors; no per-feature in-product quota UX.	Credit alerts Credit consumption dashboards; alerts rather than hard gates.

Approvals workflow tied to log events Human-in-the-loop on flagged AI usage.	Native Flagged events queue in /app/approvals with approve/deny + audit trail.	No ITSI/SOAR can route tickets, but no native per-log approval UX.	No Case management exists; no approve/deny on a single log event.	No Cases workflow; no inline event approval.

Before you connect — what your provider needs

Chaberista reads activity from your Claude or Perplexity workspace. Those vendors only expose org-wide audit logs on admin-tier plans, so you'll need one of the following to ingest anything beyond a manual CSV.

Anthropic Claude
Claude Enterprise — required for the Admin API and audit-log export (workspace-wide message metadata, user activity, MCP tool calls). The Primary Owner generates an Admin API key in Console → Settings → Admin Keys.
Claude Team covers SSO and seat management but does not include the audit-log API. Free / Pro plans aren't supported — there's no admin export to read.
Perplexity
Perplexity Enterprise Pro (typically 25+ seats) — required for the admin dashboard, SSO, and the activity webhook / log export Chaberista subscribes to. Your Perplexity admin enables the webhook and pastes the URL we generate.
Perplexity Max and Pro are individual plans — they expose personal history only, not an org-wide audit feed, so they can't be governed centrally.

Don't have admin access yet? You can still create a workspace and explore with the included sample data — connect a real provider whenever your Enterprise admin is ready.
