Billing
AINative uses a credit-based billing system backed by Stripe. Credits are consumed when you use AI APIs, LLM tokens, storage, and MCP compute. Each subscription plan includes a monthly credit allowance; additional credits can be purchased as needed.

Credit model
Credits represent a unified unit of platform usage. The specific credit cost for each API call depends on the resource consumed (LLM tokens, vector ops, storage I/O, etc.). Your balance is computed from:
- Plan allowance — Monthly credits included with your subscription tier
- Purchased credits — Top-up packs bought via Stripe Payment Intent
- Usage deductions — Credits consumed across AI API calls, LLM completions, and other billable operations
