Credits & billing

A credit ≈ one short agent turn. List price overage is $0.01 per credit on Solo, Team, and Business tiers (Enterprise negotiates lower). Each tier includes a monthly credit bundle:

  • Solo — $399/mo, 40,000 credits included, overage at $0.01/credit, default spend cap $1,200/mo
  • Team — $1,495/mo, 175,000 credits included, overage at $0.01/credit, default spend cap $3,000/mo
  • Business — $4,995/mo, 700,000 credits included, overage at $0.01/credit, default spend cap $7,500/mo
  • Enterprise — custom monthly + $0.0070/credit overage, negotiated spend cap (default $30,000/mo)

Monroe always shows a credit estimate before running anything that costs more than ~100 credits. You can cancel before it starts. You can also tell Monroe "be cheap" and it'll prefer fast models; or "be thorough" and it'll prefer Sonnet 4.5.

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 billing page.

The spend cap

Each tier ships with a default monthly spend cap — Monroe pauses and posts in-channel when usage hits 100%:

Out of budget for the month. Raise the cap from the dashboard to continue, or wait until [renewal date].

Two layers of enforcement:

1. Soft alerts at 50%, 75%, 90% so you see it coming

2. Hard stop at 100% — enforced at the LLM provider layer via the OpenRouter sub-key limit. Even a buggy agent loop can't bypass it.

Default caps by tier: Solo $1,200/mo, Team $3,000/mo, Business $7,500/mo, Enterprise $30,000/mo. Adjustable in dashboard → Billing.

Where to see usage

  • In-channel run receipts (every completed run shows credit count)
  • Workspace dashboard → Usage tab (real-time credit meter)
  • Audit log (every tool call, exportable on Enterprise)
