Test the question first
Spark lets you build, query, export, and recover a small causal graph locally before paying.
Darkstar Online plans
Test a causal question in Spark without a payment method. Choose Pro when an individual workflow needs cloud save, Premium for larger saved analysis and wider invited sharing, or Studio to compare decisions with influence diagrams and value-of-information analysis.
Spark lets you build, query, export, and recover a small causal graph locally before paying.
Pro adds an individual cloud workflow. Premium gives larger models, more saved files, and wider invited sharing.
Compare policies under declared utilities with influence diagrams, VOI analysis, public read-only links, and the largest self-service 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 v1 is retired. Learning Studies v2 remains unavailable while model-family validation, quote-first planning, purchase, execution, and settlement are qualified. No Online plan currently enables paid learning runs.
Use Spark to test a first local causal graph. Move to Pro for individual cloud work, Premium for heavier saved analysis and wider invited review, and Studio only when influence diagrams, VOI analysis, public read-only sharing, or the largest self-service limits are part of the decision.
