Remote ArcREMOTE ARC
Remote Arc pricing
Use the hosted Remote MCP control plane with a free account, then add account capabilities for heavier or longer-running workflows.
Free covers core remote-computer access
The Free plan currently includes 10,000 hosted MCP tool calls per account each month, text-file and directory inspection, process inspection, explicitly shared browser-tab context and the file-editing or terminal tools that you deliberately enable on a device. Per-device permissions, Trusted Write Locations and Sensitive Path Policy remain part of the control model.
Pro and Max add capacity and Arc Credits
Pro is the paid plan for people who bring their own ChatGPT, Claude or Codex. It has no monthly hosted MCP call cap and includes more computers than Free; each computer is authenticated separately and can be revoked. Max raises the computer limit further, with at most 20 new computer registrations per day. Both include the durable-work capabilities below and monthly Arc Credits for Arc-hosted AI; the pricing page shows the current allowances.
Connect tools are available on every plan
Free includes the same Connect tool capabilities: bounded binary reads, temporary revision-pinned file resources, background command Tasks, schedules, condition watches, source-controlled Agent Goals, deterministic verification loops and supported keep-awake leases. Free retains 10,000 monthly tool calls; after they run out, a one-time 7-day unlimited Connect trial starts, then calls continue at 2 per minute until the monthly reset. Account authorization and device policy still apply. Hosted model access and third-party charges remain separate.
Plan entitlement and usage are separate
Every plan shares the same Connect tool capabilities. Plans retain their existing usage limits and separate hosted model access, while device policy decides where tools may act. Hosted MCP calls are metered separately, and one chat request can involve multiple tool calls. Reaching a usage limit never expands permissions or changes the device's local security boundary.
Durable does not mean unlimited AI reasoning
Remote Arc can persist approved deterministic work, process tracking, schedules, verification state and recovery metadata after a chat disconnects. Fresh judgment still requires a supported reasoning host when the next action cannot be determined from the saved task contract.
