About Caveman

Caveman provides the tools and infrastructure to run AI agents with fewer tokens, less compute, and lower cost. It offers a cloud and local runtime where developers can observe traffic, measure costs, and apply improvements to their agent runs. The platform supports a range of coding agents and lets teams control how requests are routed and processed while watching the impact on bills.

Caveman reads less, says less, and picks the model. It compresses eligible context, reduces input and output tokens, and adaptively selects the cheapest model that still solves the task. The system keeps the original data available for recovery when needed.

Caveman offers different plans and deployment options including cloud hosted, VPC, on-prem, or local tooling. It describes platform integrations and limits such as supported agents, logging, and governance controls, as stated across the pricing, platform, and docs pages.

Frequently asked questions

Is Caveman really free?
The agent and the SDK are free and open source, with no Caveman account. Caveman Cloud's Free plan is $0 for one person and needs no card. You get every feature up to the monthly allowances. Add a card to go past them at standard rates, up to a $50 billing limit per product unless you set your own.
Do I need a card for Free?
No. Without a card, the allowances are hard limits: a product pauses at its allowance until next month, as it would at a billing limit. Add a card when you want to keep going past them at standard rates.
How is Team priced?
$300 a month, and it includes $300 of usage every month, counted at the same standard rates as Free on events, agent minutes and routing. Past the included usage you pay standard rates, up to billing limits you set. Included usage does not roll over.
How does the Team trial work?
Team starts with a 7-day free trial. You add a card at checkout, and nothing is charged during the trial, including usage. When it ends, the $300 fee and its $300 of included usage start, prorated for the rest of that month.
