Credits & billing

Prepaid, pay-per-call billing. Top up credits that never expire; each successful call debits the call’s price.

How billing works

Billing is prepaid and per-call. AI-model endpoints bill per model queried (query one and pay a quarter of the four-model price). Data endpoints (/v1/keywords, /v1/trends) are flat per call; /v1/usage is free. A call is only billed on success; a failed call is recorded but not charged.

Top-ups

Add credits via Stripe ($25 minimum). Credits never expire. New accounts get $1 free to test. Prices are USD; internally we meter in micro-credits for 5-decimal per-call precision.

Billing in the response

Every billed call returns a billing block with the exact cost and remaining balance, so agents see spend per call with no surprises:

{
  "billing": { "cost": { "usd": "0.28" }, "balance": { "usd": "14.40" } }
}
