Introducing Metered Billing and BYOC Deployments
Flexible, Scalable Pricing for High-Growth Companies and Enhanced Data Privacy for Enterprises
We're excited to announce two big updates to Zep that provide both high-growth companies and enterprises with greater flexibility, security, and scalability: Metered Billing and Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) deployments.
Metered Billing for Flexibility and Growth
Our new metered billing plan makes it easy for growing companies to scale efficiently. Instead of locking you into rigid pricing tiers, you're billed based on your actual usage: $1.25 per thousand messages and $2.50 per megabyte of business data ingested. This approach aligns your costs directly with your usage, ensuring you only pay for what you need—ideal for fast-scaling startups.
The metered billing plan has significantly higher rate limits than the Zep Free Plan, and supports creating two projects, ideal for production and development environments.
You can take advantage of this plan by upgrading within the Zep web application.
Understanding Business Data
When we talk about "business data," we mean the information you ingest into Zep's Knowledge Graph via the graph.add API, including JSON documents, unstructured text, and transcripts. Since such data can come in various formats and character sets or encodings, we measure it in megabytes (MB). To put this in perspective, 5MB is roughly equivalent to about 2,500 pages of English UTF-8 text.
Enhanced Enterprise Privacy with Zep's BYOC Deployment
We're also rolling out a new BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Cloud) deployment option for enterprises with strict privacy and data residency requirements. With Zep's Enterprise Plan BYOC option, you can deploy Zep directly into your own cloud environment, maintaining complete control over your data and infrastructure. This ensures compliance with internal security standards and external regulatory obligations.
For enterprises without BYOC requirements, Zep's SaaS infrastructure remains a robust, secure choice, backed by our SOC 2 Type II certification—giving you confidence in our operational security standards.
