Pancake is currently in private beta. Access is granted via waitlist — sign up on the homepage to be notified when your seat is ready.
The batter execution engine (the Python package that computes backtest results) is open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. You can pip install batter and run it locally against any EvidenceDataset. Open-source use is and will remain free.
The Pancake cloud service — the MCP endpoint, receipt storage, strategy memory, canonical dataset pool, and the hosting layer that advances strategies toward live execution (a v2-roadmap capability) — is a hosted product. Pricing for the hosted service has not been published yet. The product is designed for AI agents and the developers who build them, with a usage-based model in mind.
The comparison pages and this site describe the workflow and verification model so you can evaluate fit before signing up. If you have specific pricing questions, reach out at hi@usepancake.com.
