Common questions
How is unbilled cost calculated?
Every AI request is recorded with model, token count, and timestamp. Model-specific pricing is applied per request. Unbilled cost is the running sum of all usage since the last invoice, updated in real-time.
When are invoices generated?
Invoices are auto-generated when unbilled cost exceeds the threshold (default $100). This prevents large surprise bills—you pay incrementally as you go. Manual invoices can also be generated on demand.
Can I see who is driving AI costs?
Yes—AI usage logs show every request with user attribution. Filter by user to see per-user costs. Export to CSV for chargeback or cost allocation to departments.
How do I upgrade from trial to Pro?
Go to Billing → Upgrade Plan. Select Pro plan, add payment method (credit card via Stripe). Click "Upgrade Now"—instant activation, no sales call required.
What payment methods are supported?
Credit cards via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover). Stripe handles secure payment processing and PCI compliance. (Planned) ACH and wire transfer for enterprise.
Can I get a refund if I cancel?
Usage-based charges are non-refundable—you pay for what you have already consumed. If you cancel Pro, billing stops immediately with no future charges. The trial period is free, so no charges apply until after it ends.
