What is Rivet.dev?
Build and scale stateful agents and collaborative apps.
Who is Rivet.dev best for?
Rivet.dev is best for developers building agents or realtime apps that keep saved state for each user or session.
Coding agent products
Each session can get its own sandbox with a filesystem and shell plus durable memory, so a long agent run survives restarts.
Apps that generate apps
Dynamic Apps gives every end user a separate backend, with its own database and filesystem, deployed as soon as the code is generated.
Agents on private company data
The open-source release runs inside your VPC, on-prem or air-gapped, so internal data never has to leave your network.
Realtime collaborative apps
Actors hold shared state over WebSockets, and React hooks keep every open screen in sync as that state changes.
How much does Rivet.dev cost?
Rivet.dev is open source and free to self-host, and Rivet Cloud has a free plan with hard monthly limits, then Hobby from $20 a month or Team from $200 a month, each plus metered usage.
- 100,000 Awake Actor Hours a month and up to $5 of compute
- 5GB storage, 200M reads, 5M writes, 100GB egress
- Hard limits, community support
- 400,000 Awake Actor Hours a month included
- 25B reads, 50M writes, 1TB egress, up to 8 vCPU
- Email support
- Same included usage as Hobby
- Compute billed per second of active time
- Slack and email support
Beyond the included amounts, usage costs $0.05 per 1,000 Awake Actor Hours, $0.40 per GB-month of storage, $0.20 per million reads, $1 per million writes and $0.15 per GB of egress; active compute starts at $0.000033 per vCPU-second plus $0.0000029 per GiB-second. Sleeping Actors use no Actor hours. Enterprise Edition, for your own cloud or fully self-hosted setups with backups, access controls and an SLA, is priced through sales. Y Combinator and a16z Speedrun companies get 50% off Team for their first 12 months. Full pricing on rivet.dev. We checked these prices on .
