Billing & usage

How usage is measured

Usage tracks agent actions — a step like reading a message, drafting a reply, or updating a CRM record. Most everyday requests are a light draw on your allowance. Heavier operations, like deep research that reads many sources, draw more because they do more work. Your plan includes a monthly allowance, and every new workspace unlocks $50 of free usage when you add a payment method — which also starts the 7-day free trial ($50 is the trial allowance, valid during the 7-day trial; the full Pro allowance unlocks with the first paid month). Your card is charged for Pro at $250/mo when the trial ends; cancel anytime during the trial and you pay nothing.

How metering works: reserve, then reconcile

Before an agent starts a task, AgentCorp reserves an estimate of the usage it expects, so two tasks cannot both spend the same allowance. When the task finishes, it reconciles: your account is charged for what was actually used, and any unused portion of the reservation is released back to your allowance.

• You are billed for real usage, not the up-front estimate — reservations are held, not spent.
• A task that ends early releases its unused reservation.
• Billing is proportional to work done, including efficiencies like prompt caching, which lowers the cost of repeated context.

Reading your usage

The billing screen shows how much of your monthly allowance you have used, with recent consumption attributed so you can see where the work went. When your allowance is running low, AgentCorp warns you in-app and on your connected channels so a long task never fails unexpectedly.

How long usage stays valid

Each source of usage has its own validity window, so it is always clear what you have and how long you have it.

• Included usage refreshes in full at the start of each billing period. It is sized for a month of work and does not roll over, so every period starts from the same full allowance.
• Purchased top-ups are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, and they survive a plan change or cancellation.
• Free trial usage is valid during your 7-day trial.

Usage draws from whatever expires soonest — normally your included allowance — so top-ups keep their runway until you actually need them. The billing screen shows the date your included usage next refreshes and the date any purchased usage lapses.

Top-ups

Need more usage before your next renewal? Buy a one-time top-up without changing your plan. Top-ups are available in $25, $50, and $100 amounts and are added to your available usage immediately, valid for 12 months from purchase. Top-ups are the right tool for a short-term spike; if you consistently need more, upgrading your plan is more economical.

Upgrading and downgrading

Move between plans as your needs change. Upgrading raises your included usage and seats and takes effect right away. Downgrading takes effect at your next renewal so you keep what you have paid for through the current period. See the pricing guide to compare tiers and estimate the right fit.

Invoices, receipts, and payment method

Billing runs on Stripe. Manage everything self-serve through the Stripe Customer Portal, linked from the billing screen: update your card, download invoices and receipts, view billing history, and change or cancel your plan. AgentCorp never stores your full card details — Stripe handles that.

What happens when you run out

If you use up your full allowance, agent actions that would draw on it are paused rather than run for free, and the API returns an HTTP 402 Payment Required. Your data, settings, and integrations are untouched — you simply cannot start new billable work until you top up or upgrade.
