How charges are calculated

Every billed operation uses the same formula.

Amount charged=Provider cost×Pricing multiplier

Provider cost is the price Anthropic and OpenAI publish per token type — input, output, cache write, and cache read. The pricing multiplier varies by operation type — see the exact multiplier for each one below.

What gets billed

Four operation types are billed, each with its own pricing multiplier. Everything else — uploads, dashboard usage, and API calls that don't invoke a model — is free.

3× multiplier

Agent chat

Claude Sonnet 4.6

Every chat message the agent answers, from the first input token to the last output token.

3× multiplier

Document vision (OCR)

Claude Haiku 4.5

Runs only for scanned documents or files without a text layer. Vision-based extraction processes each page as an image.

3× multiplier

Document indexing

OpenAI text-embedding-3-large

Runs for every ingested document, with or without OCR, to make it searchable through semantic search.

3× multiplier

Semantic search

OpenAI text-embedding-3-large

Runs whenever a chat message triggers a search — a small charge before the agent generates a response.

Provider costs by model

Provider costs per million tokens, as published by Anthropic and OpenAI.

ModelInputOutputCache writeCache read
claude-sonnet-4-6$3.00$15.00$3.75$0.30
claude-haiku-4-5$1.00$5.00$1.25$0.10
text-embedding-3-large$0.13

The pricing multiplier is applied automatically based on the operation type — see the exact multiplier for each one above. The balance deducted from your account already reflects the final amount charged.

Illustrative example

Rounded example values to show how pricing works. Your actual cost depends on document size and conversation length.

Uploading a 10-page scanned PDF

  • Document vision

    Claude Haiku 4.5 processes the scanned pages as images (~8,000 input tokens) and extracts the text (~2,000 output tokens).

    $0.05403× multiplier
  • Document indexing

    The extracted text (~2,000 tokens) is converted into embeddings for semantic search.

One chat message with search

  • Agent chat

    Claude Sonnet 4.6 reads the retrieved context and conversation (~3,000 input tokens) and generates a response (~500 output tokens).

    $0.04953× multiplier
  • Semantic search

    The question (~30 tokens) is converted into an embedding to search your knowledge base.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a plan or a usage cap?

No. There are no tiers, seats, or monthly limits. Pricing is entirely based on actual usage, with no artificial caps.

What happens when my balance runs out?

New operations are blocked until you top up your balance. The operation that exhausts your balance still completes successfully — only subsequent operations are blocked.

How does the pricing multiplier work?

The pricing multiplier is applied to the published provider cost and varies by operation type. You can see the exact multiplier for each billed operation in What gets billed above.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Every new account starts with $1 in free credits. No credit card required.
