Enterprise: Custom annual pricing. Personal plan for IQ Code: $6 per month with 2,000 routing decisions.
Key features	Compile firmware against production toolchains remotely without installation Execute firmware on virtual chip instances with verdict, trace, and register state Unit and integration testing on virtual hardware with coverage reports Inject synthetic sensor data into running firmware Query collective embedded corpus for chip-specific solutions Support for Rust, C, and multiple RTOS frameworks	Multi-provider support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek) Built-in model routing for cost optimization Per-person usage tracking without prompt visibility Zero Data Retention (ZDR) option
What makes it different	Virtual instances of actual target chips, not generic CPU emulation, with same binary, peripherals, and interrupt timing as physical boards Shared corpus that deepens with every call, allowing agents to inherit knowledge from previous runs Eliminates need for physical hardware for testing, porting, and debugging Single MCP endpoint exposes cross-compilation, peripheral simulation, sensor IO, and chip-specific plumbing Access to licensed toolchains on demand without local installation	Privacy-first monitoring: usage analytics without storing prompt or completion text by default Support for any OpenAI- or Anthropic-shaped endpoint through single gateway URL
