typed Team and Team Max: one shared pool, one shared index

-- Jeff Yaw

Today we shipped two new tiers on typed.cloud: typed Team at $25/seat/month and typed Team Max at $100/seat/month. They bring the solo product's two best ideas -- a real usage envelope and pay-as-you-go overage -- to a whole engineering org, and they add a surface we have wanted for a while: hosted codebase indexing.

If you run a team and you have been watching per-developer AI spend creep up, the headline is the billing mechanic, not the price. Let me show you the math.

Pooled quota: one bucket, not N silos

This is the part worth reading twice. When you buy Team for N seats, you do not get N isolated quotas that each developer has to live inside. Usage aggregates across every member of the org and is measured against one pool: per-seat envelope x seat count.

  • typed Team carries the Pro-equivalent envelope per seat. A 5-seat Team shares a single pool of 5x the Pro envelope.
  • typed Team Max carries the Max-equivalent envelope per seat. A 5-seat Team Max shares 5x the Max envelope.

Here is why pooled beats siloed. On a real team, usage is never uniform. One developer is deep in a refactor burning through context; another is on call and barely touching the CLI that week. With per-seat silos, the heavy user hits a wall while four light users leave most of their quota on the floor -- you paid for capacity nobody could reach. With a shared pool, the heavy user draws from the same bucket the light users are not touching. You size the org, not each person's worst week.

What happens past the pool

The pool is a soft ceiling, not a hard stop. When aggregate org usage crosses the monthly envelope, the next request returns a 429 with a one-click top-up -- at the org level, so anyone on the team can extend the shared pool, not just the billing owner.

Prefer it hands-off? Enable org auto-top-up in $5 / $10 / $20 / $50 increments, with an optional monthly ceiling so a runaway week can't surprise you. Same overage model as the solo product, scaled to the whole org.

Pricing

Tier Price Quota envelope Billing
Starter $10/mo Starter Monthly
Pro $20/mo Pro Monthly
Max (solo) $100/mo Max Monthly
Team $25/seat/mo Pro-equivalent per seat, pooled Monthly
Team Max $100/seat/mo Max-equivalent per seat, pooled Monthly

Billing is straightforward: per-seat price times seat count, through our payment processor's volume pricing. You pick a seat count at checkout -- a 5-seat Team is 5 x $25 = $125/month. The solo tiers below Team are unchanged; the team tiers are additive, not a replacement.

Hosted codebase indexing: the shared map

Local context still works the way it always has -- on every tier, in every Anthropic-API-compatible client (the typed CLI, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, aider, Claude Code). Nothing about that changes, and you do not need anything new to keep working exactly as you do today.

What's new is hosted codebase indexing for orgs that want one shared map across seats. Your org uploads a codebase; we run it through our managed embedding pipeline and build a shared, server-side vector index. Any seat then opts a request in -- a CLI flag or an attach header -- and the model retrieves relevant snippets from across the whole repo, not just the files that happen to be open locally.

One person uploads; everybody benefits. A new hire on their first day can attach the org's index and get repo-wide retrieval without indexing anything locally. The explanation of how the auth layer connects to the job queue lives in the index, not in one senior dev's head.

To be clear about what this is and isn't: it is an added convenience for orgs that want a shared index across seats. It is not a missing feature on the solo tiers, and it is not required to use Team. If your workflow is happy with local context, stay with local context.

Data handling

Storage and processing for hosted indexing stay inside the us-west-2 AWS region. Access is org-scoped. Everything is encrypted at rest. If you cancel, an uploaded codebase keeps a 30-day grace period, then hard-deletes within 14 days after that. If you are evaluating this for privacy-sensitive code, read the privacy policy -- that is the disclosure surface, not this blog post.

What's different -- be honest

We hold ourselves to a "be honest" section, so here it is:

  • Subscription price is matched, not undercut. $25 and $100 per seat are in line with what you would pay elsewhere. The savings story is the same as the solo product: a transparent overage rate and month-to-month billing you can size to actual usage -- not a cheaper sticker.
  • Monthly only, for V1. Both team tiers are monthly. Per-seat annual is deliberately deferred -- we would rather ship the pooled-quota mechanic and the shared index clean than rush an annual SKU. We will revisit annual if customers ask, so tell us.
  • Hosted indexing is opt-in per request. It does not silently attach to everything. A seat has to opt a request in, so you stay in control of what touches the index.
  • Same SLO as always. 99.9% monthly uptime, with a live status page. Team does not buy a higher SLO -- it buys shared quota and the hosted index.

For a side-by-side against the subscription CLIs you already use, the honest comparison lives at typed.cloud/migrate -- including where we are not the cheaper option.

Get your team on it

Onboarding is four steps, about five minutes:

  1. Sign in at app.typed.cloud (magic-link or GitHub) and create an org.
  2. Invite teammates by email; they accept and land in the same org.
  3. Buy Team or Team Max for N seats.
  4. Optionally upload a codebase so everyone can attach the shared index.

Create an org, invite your team, and size one pool instead of N. That is the whole idea.
