Spark is for first work
Build, query, export, and recover first causal graph files without card collection.
Plans
Start a causal model in Spark without a payment method. Upgrade when the work needs cloud save, larger graph limits, sharing, Model Discovery, Learn from Data, authenticated support, or Studio influence diagrams with VOI analysis.
Build, query, export, and recover first causal graph files without card collection.
Cloud documents, autosave, sharing, support, and larger limits unlock by account state.
Use Studio for influence diagrams, VOI ranking, public links, and the largest limits.

Spark does not collect a card. Paid upgrades use Stripe Checkout; Darkstar stores account, subscription, and billing-consent records, not card numbers.
Commercial SDK purchases are priced by language, platform, and license rights. Online plans cover the hosted workspace, not SDK redistribution or internal runtime rights.
Learn from Data submissions produce candidate causal structures and parameters. Runs are quoted in-app and paid before execution; Online plans do not include free learning runs.
Choose Spark for a first local causal graph, Pro for individual cloud work, Premium for heavier saved analysis, and Studio when influence diagrams, VOI ranking, public read-only sharing, and larger self-service limits are part of the work.
