The Three Parts

Every run has up to three costs. They're separate and transparent.

Cost Breakdown:

Total Cost = Platform Fee ($0.0001) + Builder Fee (variable) + AI Costs (actual)

ComponentWhat it isCost
🏢 Platform feeWhat we charge$0.0001 per run (one hundredth of a penny)
👤 Builder feeWhat the agent creator charges$0.02 - $5+ (set by Builder)
🤖 AI costsWhat AI providers chargeActual usage (we don't mark up)

An Example

You run an agent that generates marketing copy.

  • Platform fee: $0.0001
  • Builder fee: $0.10 (what the creator set)
  • AI costs: $0.04 (what OpenAI charged for tokens)
  • Total: $0.1401 per run

Run it 100 times, spend $14.01. Compare that to a $50/month copywriting tool you'd barely use.

📅 Traditional SaaS ($50/month)$50.00

Why Pass-Through AI Costs

Some platforms bake AI costs into a flat fee and hope you don't use much. Others mark up API calls to make hidden profit.

ApproachProblem
❌ Baked into flat feeDiscourages usage, pricing is guesswork
❌ Markup on AI costsHidden fees, unpredictable costs
✅ Pass-through actualHonest pricing, pay for what you use

We just pass through the actual cost. If OpenAI charges $0.03, you pay $0.03. This keeps things honest and lets you bring your own API keys if you want even more control.

The Bottom Line

$0.0001 to us. Whatever the Builder charges. AI at cost. No hidden fees. No subscriptions. Pay for what you run.
