# Overview of available plans
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="note">
|
|
This documentation is relevant to the new IBM Quantum® Platform. If you need the previous version, return to the [IBM Quantum Platform Classic documentation.](https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/guides/setup-channel#ibm-cloud)
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
IBM Quantum Platform has Open (free access) and Premium (enterprise subscription) plans, as described below. See [IBM Quantum access plans](https://www.ibm.com/quantum/access-plans) for full details.
|
|
|
|
If you want access to multiple plans, you can create multiple instances and assign different plans to them. For example, you can have an Open Plan instance and a Standard Plan instance.
|
|
|
|
## Open Plan
|
|
|
|
Run your quantum circuits on the world's best QPUs for free (up to 10 minutes quantum time per 28-day rolling window). You can track your usage on the [Platform dashboard](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/) and the [Workloads](https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/workloads) pages.
|
|
|
|
This plan is recommended for those who are learning quantum computing and exploring IBM quantum technology.
|
|
|
|
## Standard (Pay-as-you-go) Plan
|
|
|
|
Run quantum circuits on the world's best QPUs and pay only for the quantum time you use.
|
|
|
|
This plan is recommended for those who are performing quantum utility research projects and testing business models with flexible access.
|
|
|
|
## Premium Plan
|
|
|
|
Run quantum circuits on the world's best QPUs using an enterprise quantum time subscription. Additionally, some functionality, such as [Qiskit Functions](functions) and [Qiskit Transpiler as a Service](qiskit-transpiler-service), is available only to Premium Plan users.
|
|
|
|
This plan is recommended for those who want to execute a strategic quantum roadmap and develop quantum algorithms and applications at scale.
