You only pay for contributors - engineers actively committing code. Product managers, QA, and engineering leadership get full access for free and don't count toward your license total. If a contributor stops committing, they stop counting.
Which plan is right for us?
If you're measuring engineering speed, quality, and AI adoption for up to 200 contributors on cloud tools, Growth covers it. If you need AI spend intelligence across the org, on-prem or server integrations, SSO, or Marco for automated code reviews, that's Enterprise. Unsure? Get the free AI ROI report first; it shows you what Hivel finds in your stack before you commit to anything.
What does Enterprise cost?
Enterprise pricing depends on org size, deployment model (cloud or on-prem), and which AI tools we're pulling spend data from. Most conversations get to a number within one call. Talk to Sales, and we'll scope it the same week.
Can we try before we buy?
Yes, two ways. Start a free trial of Growth with your cloud Git and Jira, or request the free AI ROI report: read-only access, no engineering effort, and a board-ready snapshot of your AI adoption and impact within 48 hours.
We already have GitHub and Jira. Can't we build this ourselves?
You can connect them and get commits and PRs. But can you tell which ticket and which commit created incidents? Which PR consumed 20% of your team's token budget? That correlation layer, across Git, Jira, AI tools, and quality data, is what Hivel provides on day one, without a build-and-maintain burden. Our Build vs. Buy calculator breaks down the total cost of ownership.
What kind of ROI do customers see?
Teams using Hivel typically see 6–8× ROI within 6 months. AvidXchange reduced release cycles 56% in 6 months across a 400-person org. Freshworks proved AI impact at scale. Sopra Banking improved cycle time 19%. Hivel surfaces what's slowing you down, your team fixes it, and the numbers follow.
How long does setup take?
Cloud integrations: insights in under 30 minutes from sign-up, with 90 days of historical data synced automatically. Server and on-prem integrations: 24–48 hours, with our team working alongside yours.
What support is included?
Every plan includes email, phone, and WhatsApp support. Enterprise adds dedicated onboarding and a named customer success manager who works with your teams on KPI setup, rollout, and quarterly reviews.
Do you help with rollout across teams?
Yes. Onboarding includes KPI selection workshops, team configuration, and best-practice playbooks — so the first board-ready report doesn't depend on your team figuring the product out alone.
What happens to our data if we leave?
Your data is yours. We provide a documented off-boarding process and delete your data per our DPA. No lock-in mechanics.
Is Hivel safe to connect? Does it read our code?
Hivel uses read-only access and doesn't need your source code to deliver insights; we work from metadata (commits, PRs, tickets, reviews). SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO compliant, with SSO and role-based access on Enterprise. Full details at our Trust Center.
Which AI coding tools can Hivel measure?
GitHub Copilot (including Enterprise), Cursor, and Claude (Enterprise and Console) today, with new tools added continuously. Hivel unifies adoption, usage, and spend across all of them, so you can compare tools instead of reading four separate admin dashboards.
How does Hivel measure AI impact — not just adoption?
Hivel measures both. Hivel links AI activity to output: how lead time, PR flow, review wait, and rework change for AI-assisted work versus not. That's the before-versus-after answer: Are we actually getting better? , that adoption dashboards can't give you.
Is this a developer surveillance tool?
No - and we've designed against it. Hivel is built for leaders who want a competitive edge, not control. Metrics focus on team-level flow and system bottlenecks; Dev360 and Hivel Score exist to balance workload and catch burnout, not to rank individuals for punishment.
Do you support on-prem?
Yes, on Enterprise — including GitLab Server, Jira Server, and SonarQube on-prem, with a full installation guide and hands-on support.
What's Marco? What's Lucy?
Lucy is Hivel's insights engine, it surfaces outliers in your metrics and suggests next steps, instantly. Marco is our AI code review agent; it reviews pull requests so bottlenecks don't pile up in review queues. Lucy is included in both plans (limited on Growth); Marco is included in Enterprise and available as an add-on for Growth.
