Transparent Billing

Pay only for what you use. Every token metered per model, per project, per user. No surprise bills. No hidden fees. Hard stop at zero balance.

Pre-paid creditsPer-model meteringAuto top-up

Pre-Paid Credit Wallet

Your organisation loads credits before use. Every AI operation deducts from your wallet in real time. When credits hit zero, operations stop cleanly — no runaway costs, no month-end surprises.

Per-Model Metering

Every token is tracked by model, project, user, and AI worker. You always know exactly which AI model costs what. The dual-write architecture ensures your internal balance and Stripe invoices always agree.

Auto Top-Up

Your workers never stop mid-task because of low credits. Configure a threshold and top-up amount — when your balance drops below the threshold, credits are automatically added. Built-in safety limits prevent runaway charges.
