# Billing

Voxoria bills per call, in US dollars. There is no subscription and no seat count.

Each account has one balance. Everyone on the account draws on it, and so does every agent you give an API key.

## What a call costs

A call costs what the data provider charges for it, plus a **7% platform fee**. The total is drawn from your balance.

An example, with a made-up provider cost:

|                         | Amount  |
| ----------------------- | ------- |
| Provider cost           | $0.0200 |
| Platform fee (7%)       | $0.0014 |
| Drawn from your balance | $0.0214 |

These are example figures, not prices. Provider prices are not published yet.

`GET /v1/ping` and `GET /v1/tools` call no provider, so they draw nothing. A tool call draws on your balance. A retry that carries the same `Idempotency-Key` as a call that already succeeded draws nothing: see [Retry a call safely](/docs/connect-an-agent#retry-a-call-safely).

## Your balance

A new account starts with **$1** in its balance, once, to try it. After that you add funds, and calls draw on the balance.

A call the balance cannot cover is refused. Your API key stays valid, and nothing else about the account changes. Add funds and calls go through again.

Billing belongs to the account owner. Other roles cannot add funds or see invoices.

## Budgets

A budget caps spending. When it is reached, further calls are refused.

## Spend analytics

Spend analytics show what was spent by provider, by API key and over time.
