Pricing

Try it free. Buy it once. Studio comes later.

Pace is fully on-device — the inference costs nothing to run, so there's no per-turn bill to pass on. Pace is a $29 one-time purchase, currently handled through a manual email path when hosted checkout is not configured. The downloadable preview remains free.

Try the whole app free first. If your Mac has Apple Intelligence, Pace runs against Apple's Foundation Models at no cost. Buy the $29 purchase only after you've decided the bundled stack is worth it.

Try

Free

Runs against Apple's Foundation Models tier on any Mac with Apple Intelligence. The full app — voice, screen reading, actions, meeting notes — at no cost. You'll know within a week if the bundled stack is worth $29.

The fine print, stated plainly

Manual terms. The current release does not contain an in-app licence activation or deactivation system. Payment, delivery, support, included updates, and any refund terms are confirmed before payment.

No roadmap pricing promise. Sparkle can deliver app updates, but the site does not promise a future model, delivery date, future list price, or perpetual upgrades.

Studio is planned, not live. The current app can use Composio when you provide your own API key. A future $5/month Studio option would manage that routing; it is not sold today.

Checkout. Pace is paid, but checkout is manual today. Email confirms the payment method and delivery before any money changes hands.

Current preview: macOS 26, Apple Silicon, 16 GB RAM minimum.
32 GB if you want the bigger bf16 model loaded all the time — otherwise the 4-bit variant is one Settings toggle away.
