What reports say about pricing
As of late August 2026, public reporting points to a top-tier Hatch subscription of $199.99 per month. Lower tiers are likely, and a free or trial tier is possible for limited actions. Meta has not confirmed final pricing, so these numbers may shift at launch.
What the price buys
- Autonomous actions. Booking, purchasing, scheduling, and browsing on your behalf.
- Deep integrations. Tight connections to Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, and partner services.
- Higher limits. More actions per month, more accounts connected, and more complex tasks.
- Priority access. Faster responses and earlier features, typical of premium AI tiers.
The hidden cost
The subscription price is only part of the cost. The other part is what you leave behind. Every task Hatch completes teaches it more about your preferences, your relationships, your spending, your schedule. That profile is valuable to Meta and stays inside Meta. If you cancel, you do not get to take the version of you it built.
A memory vault has a different cost structure. You pay for storage and synthesis, and in return you own the record. Cancel, and the data is still yours. Switch AI providers, and the memory travels with you.
