Credits & Billing
Overview
The AutoGPT Platform uses a credit system to manage usage. Credits are consumed when blocks execute during agent runs. This guide explains how credits work, how pricing is determined, and how to monitor your spending.
The platform is currently in a pre-release closed beta. Pricing is subject to change.
How Credits Work
Credits are consumed on a per-block-run basis. Each time a block executes during an agent run, it costs a certain number of credits. The price of a block covers its compute, development, and operational costs — there are no separate charges for infrastructure or API usage.
Block Pricing
Block prices vary depending on the block:
Fixed-price blocks: Some blocks have a flat price regardless of how they are configured (e.g., basic data processing blocks)
Variable-price blocks: Some blocks have a price that changes based on the settings you choose. For example, the AI Text Generator block's price changes depending on which large language model you select
The current pricing system charges a flat rate per model for AI blocks — you are not charged per token.
Users are not charged for anything else on the platform beyond block execution. There are no subscription fees, storage fees, or platform access fees.
Checking Your Balance
Your credit balance is displayed in the top-right corner of the screen at all times, visible from any page on the platform.
Viewing Task Costs
To see how many credits a specific agent run consumed:
Go to your Agent Library
Open the agent
Click on a completed task in the left-hand pane
The total credit cost for that task is displayed at the top of the task detail view
There is no centralised ledger for browsing all credit spend across your account. Credit costs are available on a per-task basis within each agent.
Running Out of Credits
There are no hard limits on usage beyond your credit balance. If your credit balance reaches zero:
Running agents will stop executing
Scheduled agents will not run until credits are replenished
You will need to add more credits to continue using the platform
Adding Credits
Credits can be added through the platform. Navigate to your profile settings to manage your credit balance.
