Configure billing

Connect a payment method, pick a plan, and manage AI spend caps.

Studio billing is workspace-level. One plan, one payment method, one monthly invoice that covers every project and every member. AI usage is included up to each seat's monthly Studio Credits budget; the spend cap protects you against unexpected overages.

The Billing page showing the active plan, seats in use, and a month-to-date AI usage card with cap controls.
Workspace billing in one place: plan, seats, and live AI spend against your cap.

The Billing page#

The Billing page lives at /billing. Per-account billing for memberships across workspaces lives in the Insites Console — only workspace billing lives here. The page shows:

  • Plan card — tier name (FREE / STARTER / PRO / TEAM), seats in use of seats purchased (with over-allotment warning), included credit budget, Upgrade button, and a link to the public pricing page.
  • AI usage for the current month: total spent, Included this month ($X of $Y, resets daily date shown), Top-up balance ($X purchased credits, never expire), Buy credits / Buy more buttons.
  • By model breakdown — Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.7, each with dollars and tokens.
  • By surface breakdown — Studio chat, New project planner, Migration plan, Edit Existing.
  • Last 14 days chart — plan-inclusion line and burn-rate line.
  • Invoices — monthly receipts. Free tier doesn't generate invoices.

Pick or change a plan#

  1. Open Billing

    Workspace dashboard → Billing in the left nav.

  2. Change plan

    Click Change plan on the current-plan card. The available tiers (Free, Starter, Pro, Team, Enterprise) appear with a per-seat price, included Studio Credits, and feature comparison. Toggle monthly / annual billing — annual saves 17%.

  3. Confirm

    Select the new tier. Studio prorates the change — you pay the difference on the next invoice. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current period.

Connect a payment method#

If your workspace doesn't have a card on file yet, the Billing page shows Add payment method at the top. The card form is hosted by Stripe.

Workspaces always require a payment method to remain active beyond the trial. After the trial, deploys are blocked until a card is on file.

Buy top-up credits#

When the included monthly pool runs out, AI pauses and the chat shows a Buy credits prompt. To unblock immediately:

  1. Open Billing

    Workspace dashboard → Billing.

  2. Buy credits

    Click Buy credits in the AI usage block (or Buy more under Top-up balance). Pay via Stripe.

Top-up credits never expire and are spent only after the included pool runs out each month. The new balance is available immediately — the next AI call goes through.

See Pricing model for the full math behind tokens, models, and surfaces.

Track usage in real time#

The AI usage block on the Billing page updates every few minutes. For programmatic access, GET /api/usage returns the same data as JSON.

The 14-day chart's plan-inclusion line versus burn-rate line is the most useful signal — if burn rate is consistently above plan inclusion, you'll need top-ups (or a higher tier) before month-end.

Common questions#

What happens when credits run out? AI calls return 402 with a Buy credits prompt. Other Studio actions (editing files, deploys, docs) keep working — only AI is gated.

Do included credits carry over month-to-month? No. They reset on the first of the month. Top-up credits, by contrast, never expire — they roll until used.

Can I set per-user caps? Not today. Billing is per-workspace.

Where do I manage my profile or per-account billing across workspaces? In the Insites Console. The Studio Billing page is workspace-scoped only.
