 BV‑SALA is commercial, per‑seat software (**€4 / seat / month** or **€39 / seat /
-year**, EUR). The license is a signed token your SDK verifies **offline**; the
+year**, EUR; VAT not included). No free tier and no trial: what you can check before
+paying is the published measurement. The license is a signed token your SDK verifies **offline**; the
 managed control plane and the revocation kill‑switch are served from BiVelio. Your
 LLM traffic goes **straight to your provider** — BiVelio sees counts and cost,
 never prompts or completions.
