This machine
Scout, Maker, and Closer on your Mac, Windows, or Linux box. Logins stay here. No 8staff bill for local work.
Cloud credits
A credit is for work that runs on an 8staff-hosted desk — the shift that should continue when this laptop sleeps, and the floor a team shares. Local CLI work draws from the model subscriptions you already have. 8staff does not markup those tokens. Paid plans include a monthly pool. Top up anytime; credits do not expire.
On every plan
Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor — OAuth as the vendor built it. Local work never draws from 8staff credits.
Scout, Maker, Closer, then whoever you hire. A roster slot, a home folder, a standing brief.
Observe, click, type, terminal, browser. Work chips in the thread. You stay in the loop.
Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Slack, GitHub, Notion, plus MCP you add. Connected here.
Consent-gated, stored here, briefed versus control. Off means off.
Open at login so the night shift on this machine actually happens. Cloud desks are the paid way to keep going when the laptop sleeps.
Enterprise
Volume credits, pooled usage, SSO, invoice or PO, audit logs, a person on call. Everything in Scale, sized for a roster you do not want on a card.
FAQ
Yes. 8staff on this machine is free for macOS, Windows, and Linux. You bring Claude, Codex, Grok, or Cursor. We do not sell a model plan and we do not markup those tokens.
Cloud desks, and a team that shares a floor. Pro is hosted desks for one operator. Business is a shared floor — 3 seats included, $40/mo each additional. Scale is more ceiling on the same idea. That is compute and a roster other people can see, billed monthly or yearly (20% off).
A desk that keeps the shift when this laptop sleeps. Local schedules run while 8staff is open on this machine. Cloud desks are the paid offering for work that should not die with the lid. Learning is still a notebook — not a model trained on you.
No. Sign in inside 8staff. Those subscriptions stay yours. Cloud credits pay for 8staff-hosted desks and team compute, not for tokens from those vendors.
One credit is one cent. Paid plans include a monthly pool for hosted work. Extra packs start at 1,000 credits for $10/mo, up to 150,000 for $1,500/mo. One pool, shared across desks and seats. Credits do not expire. Local CLI work never draws from them.
Business and Scale are for a team. Three seats are included. Additional seats are $40/mo. Everyone draws from the same credit pool. Roles and limits live on the bill, not in a spreadsheet.
Yes. Download 8staff and never buy Pro. The night shift on this machine still runs while the app is open. Cloud and a shared floor are optional.
