Where to Find CoCalc Pricing, Licensing, and Support Information

Updated

CoCalc publishes a dedicated Pricing and licensing page at cocalc.ai/pricing, and the site also points to support and sales channels for questions the page doesn't answer. Because CoCalc can be run in more than one way — hosted on CoCalc.ai, locally or on a single VM, or as a customer-operated private deployment — the right place to look depends on which path you're evaluating. If you plan to use the integrated Claude Code agent, note that it is an experimental preview on sites that enable it and works with your personal Claude Pro or Max subscription, so that cost sits outside CoCalc's own licensing.

Start with the pricing and licensing page

The official entry point is the Pricing and licensing link on cocalc.ai. Use it as the first stop for:

  • What a hosted CoCalc.ai plan includes
  • Licensing terms tied to how you run CoCalc
  • Any plan tiers or options the site lists

The site does not publish specific prices, plan names, or payment methods in the material available here, so treat the pricing page itself as the source of truth rather than assuming a free tier or a particular billing model.

Match the pricing question to your deployment path

CoCalc describes three ways to run it, and cost and licensing questions differ for each:

Deployment path Where to look What to clarify
Hosted CoCalc.ai Pricing and licensing page Plan scope, what's included in a hosted project
Local or single VM Pricing and licensing page, then support/sales Licensing terms for self-run instances
Customer-operated private deployment Support and sales Evaluation terms, licensing for private operation

If you already know you need a private or customer-operated deployment, go straight to support and sales — that path is described as something to "evaluate," which implies a conversation rather than a self-serve checkout.

Use support and sales for anything not on the page

The site lists support and sales as a separate channel from the pricing page. Reach for it when you need:

  • Licensing clarification for a specific deployment model
  • Volume, institutional, or private-deployment questions
  • Confirmation of what a plan covers before committing

This is also the right channel if the pricing page leaves a gap between what's listed and what your team actually needs.

Factor in agent-related subscriptions

CoCalc's page states that the integrated Codex agent and Claude Code can both run in one project, alongside other command-line agents in project terminals. One licensing detail matters for budgeting:

  • Claude Code is an experimental preview on sites that enable it.
  • It works with your personal Claude Pro or Max subscription.

So if Claude Code is part of your evaluation, that subscription is a separate cost from CoCalc licensing, and availability depends on whether the site you use has the preview enabled. The Codex agent is described as integrated, without a stated separate subscription requirement in the available material.

A practical evaluation sequence

  1. Open the Pricing and licensing page and note what applies to hosted CoCalc.ai.
  2. Decide which deployment path fits — hosted, local/VM, or private — since that changes the licensing question.
  3. If you're considering private or customer-operated deployment, contact support and sales before assuming self-serve terms.
  4. If you'll use Claude Code, confirm the preview is enabled on your site and account for a personal Claude Pro or Max subscription separately.
  5. For anything the page doesn't cover, use the support and sales channel rather than inferring terms.

CoCalc has been developed by SageMath, Inc. and describes itself as collaborative computing online since 2013, so the support and sales route is an established channel rather than a new contact point.
