ORBITAL//build  public release Sep 2026, target

You have the build system. This is the platform behind it.

BUILD, the typed build system, is free to use and always will be. An Orbital account connects it to the platform: verified artifacts your whole team reuses, capacity that grows past one machine, and guarantees when the stakes ask for them.

Measured claim · pending

This slot ships with one measured performance figure and a link to the methodology behind it. Benchmarks are being finalized for the public release; we do not publish numbers we have not measured.

Coming from GitHub?

Everything in the repository stays free. Nothing on this page takes features away from the tool you already run; an account adds the hosted layer around it.

01

What an account adds

Your team stops rebuilding each other's work

free and up

Connect BUILD to CACHE, verified binary storage, and an artifact any teammate or CI job has built, nobody builds again: everyone else pulls it in seconds, re-verified on every fetch so nothing tampered with ever enters a build. This is the speedup the tool alone cannot give you; it only exists with an account.

Free tier: usage allowance TBD · paid tiers raise it

Capacity that grows with you

team

The free tier is sized for individuals and small projects. Paid tiers raise throughput and concurrency so busy repositories never queue behind their own success: more simultaneous builds, more transfer, no feature differences.

Allowances: TBD, publish before general availability

History that stays around

team

Paid tiers keep artifacts and build history longer. When a release from months ago needs rebuilding, auditing, or bisecting, the evidence is still there instead of aged out.

Retention windows: TBD, publish before general availability

Guarantees in writing

enterprise

When builds are on the critical path of your business, Enterprise adds service-level agreements, priority support, and enterprise controls, priced to your footprint rather than a rate card.

Also: the verification path for regulated and safety-critical teams
02

What we never charge for

The toolBUILD itself. The typed build system you cloned is complete. There is no crippled community edition; the paid product is the platform around it, not a better binary.
FeaturesEvery feature, every tier. Tiers change how much account you get: throughput, retention, guarantees. Never which capabilities you may use.
SeatsUnlimited, free. Add your whole team on day one; you pay for what the account uses, not who logs in.
SecurityNo SSO tax. Single sign-on and audit logs are included at every tier, including Free. Security basics are not an upsell.
03

Upgrade on your own numbers

a

Receipts, not pressure

When you approach the free allowance, Orbital shows what it measured for your account that month: hours of rebuilding avoided, what that usage would cost on each tier. Measured from your builds, never estimated.

b

Advice from your build graph

BUILD sees which artifacts you rebuild that you could be fetching. When caching or more capacity would actually save you time, it says so inside the product, with your own figures attached.

c

Nothing degrades silently

Hitting a limit never corrupts or slows a build behind your back. You see the receipt, you decide. Downgrading is as easy as upgrading, and your tool keeps working either way.

From clone to connected

1

Create an account

Free, no credit card. One Orbital account covers BUILD, CACHE, and every Orbital product that follows.

orbital login
2

Connect your repository

Point the tool you already run at your account. Existing build descriptions keep working unchanged.

orbital build init
3

Build once, as a team

From the next build on, verified artifacts are shared: what any teammate or CI job built, everyone else fetches.

Commands shown are illustrative until the docs publish with the release; the final quickstart ships alongside them.
