Core concepts
Credits & billing
A credit is Monroe's unit of work: 1 credit = $0.01 at list, and a short agent exchange runs on the order of 10 credits. Each tier includes a monthly credit bundle:
- Solo: $99/mo, 40,000 credits included, overage at $0.01/credit, default credit cap 50,000 credits/mo
- Team: $349/mo, 175,000 credits included, overage at $0.01/credit, default credit cap 200,000 credits/mo
- Business: $1,249/mo, 700,000 credits included, overage at $0.01/credit, default credit cap 750,000 credits/mo
- Enterprise: custom monthly + $0.0070/credit overage, negotiated credit cap
What a credit gets you
| Range | Example tasks |
|---|---|
| 100 to 300 credits | Rent-roll risk flag, a one-paragraph deal note, pull a comp |
| 500 to 1,500 credits | OM screen against the buy box, rent-roll review, debt sizing |
| 2,000 to 5,000 credits | Full underwrite + IC memo, quarterly LP report, multi-property portfolio review |
Your dashboard's Usage tab shows a live credit meter, a per-day breakdown, and a forecast that flags when you're on track to exceed your included bundle. You can also tell Monroe "be economical" or "be thorough" and it will adjust the depth of the run.
Top-up packs (one-time)
When you need more credits than your tier includes in a month and don't want to wait for next month:
- 2,500 credits: $25 ($0.0100/credit)
- 11,000 credits: $100 ($0.0091/credit)
- 60,000 credits: $500 ($0.0083/credit)
- 260,000 credits: $2,000 ($0.0077/credit)
Packs roll over for 12 months. Buy from /pricing or the dashboard's Billing & usage page (Plans & credits tab).
The credit cap
Each tier ships with a default monthly credit cap, and the workspace owner can raise or lower it anytime from the dashboard's Billing & usage page, under Plans & credits. The cap is checked before every run dispatches; at 100% Monroe pauses the workspace, and the next time it's asked to work it says so in your channel and points you at your Billing & usage page. Three ways to unblock: raise the cap under Plans & credits, add a credit top-up, or wait for your next renewal.
How the cap works:
- Pre-run check: usage is checked before each run dispatches; at the cap the workspace pauses. A reconciler re-verifies usage every few minutes as a backstop. The pause lifts automatically at your next monthly renewal.
- Runaway-loop bound: a single run can't loop forever: the agent has a hard iteration ceiling per run, so one task can't sprint through the month's budget between cap checks.
Default caps by tier: Solo 50,000 credits/mo, Team 200,000 credits/mo, Business 750,000 credits/mo. A credit top-up adds headroom immediately; the cap itself is owner-adjustable in the dashboard's Billing & usage page (Plans & credits tab), within your plan's bounds: never below your tier's included credits, and up to 5x the tier default (Enterprise contracts customize above that).
Where to see usage
- Workspace dashboard → Billing & usage → Usage tab: live credit meter, per-day breakdown, overage forecast, verified usage
- Workspace dashboard → Activity: every run: who asked, where, when
- One-off CSV export of the run ledger on request (Enterprise)
Next → approval gates.
