How billing works

Suede bills per workspace. Each workspace holds its own Stripe subscription, usage limits, and feature entitlements. The organization is the administrative layer where you manage subscriptions and view rolled-up billing data across all your workspaces.

When you create a workspace, it starts on the Free plan. Upgrading means selecting a workspace and changing its subscription. There are no shared resource pools between workspaces.

Billing and usage information is visible to Owners, Admins, and Members. Viewers cannot access billing or usage pages. See Roles for a full breakdown of what each role can see.

Core billing concepts

Monitored prompts are the primary billing unit. A monitored prompt is a distinct prompt template that Suede runs daily across your enabled AI platforms. Adding an AI platform increases your platform count (a separate billing dimension) but does not consume additional prompts.

Usage dimensions track consumption within each billing period:

• Monitored prompts
• Chat tokens (AI assistant usage)
• MCP calls
• Workflow executions
• Pitch spaces (agency overlay only)

Modules are optional features you can add to a workspace's subscription. Some modules are included at certain plan tiers; others are always add-ons. See Modules for the full list.

Allocations cover resources that scale by count rather than consumption: seats, AI platforms, regions, and languages. Each plan includes a base allocation. You can purchase additional units as add-ons on paid plans.

Billing periods and invoicing

Billing periods are monthly, aligned to each workspace's subscription start date. Stripe generates one invoice per workspace per period, covering the base plan, any active modules, and metered usage.
