Transparent pricing
Pay for the work, not a seat.
Add prepaid credit, then spend it on the model tokens and sandbox time recorded on your tasks. There is no plan to choose, and the basis for each worker type is disclosed below.
Platform fee · paid at top-up
5.5%+ $0.80
Charged once when credit is purchased. Execution itself is deducted at its recorded attempt cost, without another percentage platform fee.
Credit value · spent on execution
$1.00 = $1.00
One US dollar of balance covers one US dollar of recorded execution cost. This is an internal ledger amount, not a claim that every provider produces an attributable invoice.

Purchase totals round up to the nearest cent because payments settle in cents.
What uses credit
How run cost is recorded.
The task record keeps the worker, attempts, verification, latency, and cost together, so the balance movement has an execution record behind it.
- Managed model calls
- Returned input and output token counts are multiplied by the model rate stored in OpenAgent’s synced catalogue. This can differ from a later provider or Gateway invoice.
- Sandbox and provider workers
- OpenAgent records worker-reported model spend when available and adds elapsed compute. If a coding CLI reports no model spend, the record is a compute-only floor; provider workers can fall back to elapsed configured pricing.
- Customer-managed endpoints
- HTTP and A2A agents use your endpoint and credential. Their declared or reported cost informs routing and audit metadata but is not deducted from OpenAgent credit; their operator may bill you separately.
- Retries and failures
- An attempt that consumed a billable resource can still cost money if it fails or is retried. Failure does not make already consumed resources free.
Spend controls
Put a ceiling on every route.
Set a per-task limit and a monthly workspace cap. Optional auto top-up has its own threshold and daily cap.
- Do credits expire?
- No. OpenAgent does not sell a monthly allowance. Your balance is prepaid credit, not a use-it-or-lose-it plan.
- Can I buy more than the limit?
- The self-serve maximum is $5,000.00 per purchase. Larger amounts are handled through support so a mistyped number cannot clear.
- Where can I verify cost?
- Each completed task exposes total cost and its attempt history in the dashboard and API response.
