Credits and wallets

Get paid upfront. Meter every signal.

Turn upfront payments into metered usage. Decide which signals draw credits from the customer's wallet.

Credits and wallets

One balance, spent exactly as you meter it

A wallet holds the funds your customer pays upfront. Credits measure usage against the signal you choose and draw down from that wallet, giving you precise control over how prepaid funds are spent.

Issuance

Offer credits with ease

Issue a one-time credit for a trial or a support fix. Set up a package that renews every month. Tie credits to a specific feature so customers spend them the way they're meant to.

Payment timing

Charge in advance or bill in arrears

Have the customer fund the wallet up front and draw credits from it as they go. Or skip the wallet, meter first, and invoice for what they used at the end of the cycle. Same credits, either direction.

Margins

Add margins for each credit

Each credit type carries a base price from the calculator. Set a margin on top and the price per credit derives from it, or type the price and the margin re-derives instead.

How a wallet actually gets spent

Four steps, set once per plan.

Customer prepays into a wallet

They fund a balance up front, in whatever amount fits their plan.

Credits draw down per signal

Every metered signal spends credits from that wallet in real time, at whatever rate you've set.

You decide what happens at zero

Auto top-up, block usage, or invoice the overage. The rule is set once per plan, not per customer.

Customers can top up themselves

If the wallet runs dry, they don't have to wait on you. From their own customer portal, they can top it back up with more credits or outcomes.

Part of a bigger set of primitives

Credits and wallets are part of a bigger platform designed to make AI billing a breeze.

Give every customer a wallet, not a workaround
