AI usage isn't consistent. Some months you run 200 agent tasks. Some months you run 5. A flat monthly subscription makes you pay the same either way. Credits don't.
The Problem with Flat Monthly Fees
Most AI tools charge $20–$100/month per seat. That sounds fine until you realise:
- ✕You pay full price in months when you barely use it
- ✕You hit hard limits during busy months
- ✕Seats cost money even when people are on holiday or leave the team
- ✕You can't easily give casual users access without paying full seat price
How Credits Work Better
Buy what you need, use what you buy
Credits don't expire. Busy months, use more. Quiet months, use less. No waste, no overage fees.
Share across a team without seat fees
A B2B org pool means your whole team draws from one balance. No per-seat pricing games.
Predictable costs
If one agent run costs 1 credit, you know exactly what 100 runs will cost. No surprise invoices.
Try before you commit
Free credits on signup let you evaluate properly before spending a cent. No 14-day trial anxiety.
When Subscriptions Do Make Sense
Credits aren't right for everyone. If your usage is very high and predictable — say, 500+ agent runs every month reliably — a subscription model can give you better unit economics through volume discounts.
That's why our B2C tier includes subscription options for power users who run agents on a consistent schedule. The subscription auto-delivers a set number of runs per week — perfect for recurring workflows.
Our approach: Start with credits (pay as you go), upgrade to a subscription once you know your recurring usage pattern.
The Numbers
| Usage pattern | Credits cost | Typical subscription |
|---|---|---|
| 5 runs/month | $0.05 | $20/month |
| 50 runs/month | $0.50 | $20/month |
| 200 runs/month | $2.00 | $20/month |
| 500 runs/month | $5.00 | $20/month |
| 2,000 runs/month | $20.00 | ~$20/month |
Based on 1 credit = $0.01. Subscription comparison is illustrative of typical AI tool pricing.
