# Pricing & Consumables

> Understand Bizzy pricing, monthly allowances, and overage billing

Bizzy uses a subscription-based pricing model with monthly consumable
allowances. This page explains how pricing works, what's included in each tier,
and how overage billing applies.

## Subscription Pricing

| Tier             | Monthly | Annual  | Savings       |
| ---------------- | ------- | ------- | ------------- |
| **Free**         | \$0     | -       | -             |
| **Starter**      | \$25    | \$250   | 2 months free |
| **Professional** | \$100   | \$1,000 | 2 months free |
| **Enterprise**   | Custom  | Custom  | Contact sales |

<Note>
  Annual billing saves you 2 months free. The Starter tier includes a 30-day
  free trial with no payment method required until the trial ends.
</Note>

## Monthly Consumable Allowances

Each tier includes monthly allowances for consumable resources. These reset on
your billing cycle anniversary date.

| Consumable     | Free    | Starter   | Professional | Enterprise |
| -------------- | ------- | --------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| **LLM Tokens** | 100,000 | 1,000,000 | 10,000,000   | Custom     |

### Understanding Consumables

* **LLM Tokens** - Tokens used when AI agents process messages, generate
  responses, or run automations. Both input and output tokens count toward your
  limit.

## API & MCP Request Rates

API and MCP access is included on every tier and is entitled by **request
rate**, not a monthly call allowance. Requests are never billed per call, and
there is nothing to run out of — the limit is how many requests you may make in
a given minute.

| Service          | Free | Starter | Professional | Enterprise |
| ---------------- | ---- | ------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| **API requests** | 10   | 60      | 300          | 1,000      |
| **MCP requests** | 10   | 30      | 100          | 300        |

Rates are per minute. API and MCP have independent allowances, so heavy API
traffic never eats into your MCP capacity.

<Note>
  Exceeding a rate limit does not incur charges and does not pause your
  account. Your allowance refills continuously rather than resetting on a
  fixed minute boundary, so capacity returns a little at a time after a
  burst. See [Rate Limits](/api-reference/rate-limits) for handling guidance.
</Note>

## Credit System

Paid tiers (Starter, Professional, Enterprise) use a credit system for usage
beyond your monthly allowance.

### How Credits Work

1. Each month, you receive your tier's consumable allowances
2. Usage is first deducted from your monthly allowance
3. When you exceed your allowance, usage is automatically deducted from your
   credit balance in real-time
4. You can purchase credits at any time from the billing dashboard

### Overage Rates

When you exceed your monthly allowance, the following rates apply:

| Consumable     | Rate   | Unit              |
| -------------- | ------ | ----------------- |
| **LLM Tokens** | \$0.10 | per 10,000 tokens |

<Note>
  **Free tier has no overage billing.** When you reach 100% of your limit on
  the Free tier, service is paused until the next billing cycle or you
  upgrade. Paid tiers allow usage up to 110% of the limit before pausing.
</Note>

### Credit Purchase Options

You can purchase credits from the **Billing** section in your account dashboard.
Credits are available in the following amounts:

| Amount | Credits        |
| ------ | -------------- |
| \$10   | 1,000 credits  |
| \$20   | 2,000 credits  |
| \$50   | 5,000 credits  |
| \$100  | 10,000 credits |

<Note>
  **Credit conversion rate:** 1 credit = \$0.01. Credits never expire and carry
  over between billing cycles.
</Note>

### Example: Overage Calculation

A Professional tier account with a 10M token allowance and \$50 credit balance:

| Usage Range       | Cost                                         |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| 0 - 10M tokens    | Included in subscription                     |
| 10M - 15M tokens  | $50 from credit balance ($0.10 per 10K)      |
| Beyond 15M tokens | Paused until credits purchased or next cycle |

## Additional Seats

If you need more seats than included in your tier, you can purchase additional
seats.

| Tier             | Included Seats | Additional Seat Cost |
| ---------------- | -------------- | -------------------- |
| **Free**         | 1              | Not available        |
| **Starter**      | 3              | \$5/seat/month       |
| **Professional** | 10             | \$8/seat/month       |
| **Enterprise**   | Custom         | Custom               |

Additional seats are billed monthly and prorated when added mid-cycle.

## Trial Period

The Starter tier includes a **30-day free trial**:

* Full access to all Starter tier features and limits
* No payment method required to start
* Automatic downgrade to Free tier if not converted
* Convert to paid at any time during the trial

<Note>
  Stripe manages the trial period. You'll receive email reminders before your
  trial ends to add a payment method and continue your subscription.
</Note>

<Note>
  The Professional tier does not include a trial period. You can start with
  the Starter tier trial and upgrade to Professional at any time.
</Note>

## Billing Cycle

* **Monthly subscriptions** are billed on the same day each month
* **Annual subscriptions** are billed once per year on your subscription
  anniversary
* **Consumable allowances** reset on your billing cycle anniversary date
* **Upgrades** take effect immediately with prorated charges
* **Downgrades** take effect at the end of your current billing period

## Managing Your Billing

You can manage all billing settings from your account dashboard:

* View current usage and remaining allowances
* Purchase credits
* Add or remove seats
* Upgrade or downgrade your subscription
* Update payment methods
* Download invoices
