Billing & Pricing

Assistlore is built with one clear goal: maximum flexibility with full cost control. Instead of rigid feature locks or confusing usage rules, Assistlore uses a monthly, credits-based pricing system that adapts to how you actually build and run AI agents. Whether you are just getting started or operating production-grade workflows, Assistlore ensures you pay only for what you use—and nothing more.

Credits-Based Pricing (How It Works)

Assistlore operates on a monthly credits system. When you subscribe to a plan you receive a fixed number of credits that act as an internal currency used across the platform to unlock features and consume AI services.

• Credits are granted on a monthly basis according to your chosen plan.
• Credits are used for agent creation, LLM message output, Text-to-Speech (TTS) character usage, and agent-level subscriptions.
• Credits are a platform-only currency — they are not real money, tokens, or connected to your payment method beyond the plan purchase.

Pricing Plans

We offer three monthly plans to match different stages of usage: Free, Starter, and Pro. Pick the plan that fits your scale and adjust credit amounts as your needs change.

Subscription Model (Monthly Only)

Assistlore uses monthly subscriptions to keep billing simple, predictable, and flexible. You subscribe one month at a time and can upgrade whenever you need more credits.

• You subscribe for a single month at a time.
• You can upgrade at any time — upgrades are handled automatically.
• There is no manual cancel button for active subscriptions; a canceled subscription remains active until the official expiry date per the billing provider's policy.

Credit Carry-Forward (Very Important)

When you upgrade, unused credits from your current plan are preserved and merged into the new plan. This ensures you never lose value.

Example: if your old plan had 350 remaining credits and you buy a new plan with 4000 credits, your new balance becomes 4350 credits.

How Credits Are Used

Credits function as a platform-only currency inside Assistlore. They cover feature unlocks and usage across the platform.

• Unlocking and provisioning AI agents
• Running LLM message outputs (measured internally)
• Generating Text-to-Speech audio (character-based consumption)
• Managing agent-level subscriptions and allocations

Agent Subscriptions (Separate From Main Plan)

Each AI agent can have its own monthly subscription and credit allocation. Agent subscriptions are independent from your account plan and run on their own billing cycle.

For example, you might allocate 400 credits per month to a high-traffic chat or voice agent. These allocations give you granular cost control per agent.

LLM Messages & Limits

Message usage is tracked internally using token-equivalent counts. Credits are charged against those usage measurements, but you are not buying raw tokens — you are setting message limits.

When you assign message limits to an agent, that agent can only respond until the limit is reached. Limits do not expire and remain saved even if the agent subscription ends.

Text-to-Speech (TTS) Characters & Limits

TTS consumption is handled in a similar way: credits translate to character limits. You decide how many characters an agent may generate; limits persist until fully used and apply to both chat and voice agents.

Security & Access

• Assistlore does not expose API keys or sell raw model tokens.
• All model access and processing happens securely through Assistlore's infrastructure.
• No direct model or TTS API access is provided to end-users — everything runs inside Assistlore.

Best Practices

• Choose the credit bundle that matches your expected monthly usage and scale up as you grow.
• Allocate agent-specific subscriptions for high-traffic or costly agents to keep costs predictable.
• Monitor message and TTS consumption and adjust limits proactively.
• Keep embed and agent logic separate from billing and backend code.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Expecting credits to behave like real currency — they are platform-only and non-transferable outside Assistlore.
• Setting overly generous agent allocations without monitoring usage.
• Assuming canceled subscriptions stop immediately — they remain active until expiry.
• Trying to access raw model tokens or direct TTS APIs — Assistlore centralizes access for security and simplicity.

Summary

Assistlore's billing system is designed to be transparent, flexible, and predictable. By separating account plans, agent subscriptions, and usage limits, we give you full control over how credits are spent—without hidden fees, complex contracts, or wasted resources.

If you'd like, I can also add a compact pricing table component, sample invoice text, or admin pages for viewing credit balances and usage. Would you like me to add any of those next?
