The Free subharness is public source. Max is the full Atlias app. It is not on sale yet.
Free
$0
The Atlias sub-harness, also called sub-atlias, with public source and an install command. It runs inside Claude Code.
One experimental local test measured 2.63x fewer total tokens, approximately 3x when rounded, with the same 8 of 10 tasks solved. That setup included experimental mods; it does not establish the saving of a standard Free install. We have not measured its effect on a Claude subscription's five-hour allowance.
The full Atlias app: its own agent loop, sub-agents, the terminal UI, and updates while subscribed.
Its own agent loop, with no host needed
Claude Code, ChatGPT, API key and Ollama routes
Sub-agents and the terminal UI
Checkout opens once the payment provider is connected. Until then nothing can be bought here.

Hi, we're RideLink 👋
We make Atlias, and we wanted to share why it is priced the way it is. The Free plan has public source and costs nothing. Max, the full app with its own agent loop, costs $4 a month and is not on sale yet.
To be transparent, it comes down to cost. The $4 a month for Max pays for three things: the real model runs we measure each change on before it ships (a six-task benchmark run would cost $1.16 at API prices), the time it takes us to build and fix Atlias, and keeping the Free plan free. It does not include model usage, so you bring your own model access, as the questions below explain.
Atlias is not finished, and we will keep saying so. Every week we measure it against plain Claude Code on the same tasks, and we only keep a change that makes it cheaper without losing a task. The goal is the same model doing the same work for a fraction of the tokens. The price is what keeps that work going, and it is set to stay sustainable while the Free plan stays free. Thank you for trying it and for telling us what breaks.
We hope this helps, and we would love to have you as a user.
Questions
Can I sign in with my Claude plan?
Anthropic only allows its Claude Pro and Max plans in its own apps unless it approves a product, and Atlias follows that rule rather than working around it. Until then Atlias reaches Claude through your Claude Code (Atlias runs inside it as a sub-harness), an Anthropic API key, or uses ChatGPT, Gemini or local models. Read the Claude Agent SDK overview and Anthropic's legal and compliance page.
Who bills the model?
Model subscriptions and API usage are billed by your provider. Atlias does not include model credit. Local models through Ollama cost nothing to call.
Is Atlias affiliated with Anthropic?
No. Claude and Claude Code are products of Anthropic. Atlias is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic.
