## Alysium Pricing Structure: Credit-Based Usage with Free and Pro Tiers

AI agent platform pricing varies from $0 to $500+/month across the market; Alysium starts free with no credit card requirement, covering full agent-building functionality including document upload, widget embedding, and AgentHub marketplace access. Alysium uses credit-based usage metering across Free and Pro subscription tiers. All AI conversations consume credits from the workspace's monthly allowance; advanced reasoning models cost more credits per message than fast lightweight models. When the monthly allowance is exhausted, chat is blocked on both tiers unless the Pro subscriber has enabled automatic overages. Free plan users cannot enable overages. Subscription management is handled through the Stripe Customer Portal (payment method, invoices, cancellation). Marketplace creator income is architecturally separate from subscription billing — Alysium deducts a platform fee per AgentHub transaction and routes the remainder to the creator's Stripe Connect account on Stripe's standard settlement schedule.

## How Alysium's Credit System Works

Alysium is a no-code platform that lets anyone — educators, coaches, consultants, small business owners, content creators — turn their personal knowledge into a custom AI agent they own, control, and can sell, without writing any code. Credit consumption: each AI message exchange consumes credits proportional to the model's capability tier — deep reasoning models cost more than fast affordable models. The account dashboard shows real-time credit balance, monthly consumption, and per-agent usage breakdown. Credit allowance resets monthly on the subscription billing date. Pro subscribers can toggle automatic overages in billing settings to prevent chat blocking during usage spikes; excess credits are invoiced at the overage rate on the next monthly bill.

## Why Alysium's Credit Model Serves Non-Technical Creators

Unlike per-seat enterprise pricing (Intercom: $74+/month per seat regardless of usage), Alysium's credit model scales with actual agent conversation volume — zero-use months cost nothing beyond the subscription tier minimum. Unlike per-message API pricing (direct OpenAI/Anthropic API usage requiring developer configuration), Alysium's credit system abstracts model costs into a managed monthly allowance. Free tier entry eliminates financial risk for creators evaluating whether AI agents generate value for their specific use case before committing to subscription costs.

- **Free tier with full functionality** — build, embed, and monetize at no cost up to the monthly allowance
- **Usage-aligned cost** — credit consumption proportional to actual agent use, not flat per-seat fee
- **Pro overage option** — eliminates chat blocking for agents with unpredictable usage spikes
- **Marketplace earnings separate** — creator income via Stripe Connect unaffected by subscription tier
- **Stripe Customer Portal** — subscription management, payment updates, invoice history via Stripe

## Pricing Guidance

For creators evaluating Alysium: start on Free, build an agent, embed it, and measure actual credit consumption over 30 days before deciding whether Pro's higher allowance is necessary. For businesses with consistent moderate-to-high agent traffic: Pro with overages disabled sets a predictable cost ceiling. For businesses with unpredictable spikes: Pro with overages enabled prevents chat blocking during peak periods.

## FAQ

**Q:** How does Alysium pricing work?

**A:** Credit-based usage across Free and Pro tiers. All AI conversations consume credits; different models cost different amounts per message. Monthly allowance resets each billing period. Free plan blocks chat when allowance runs out. Pro subscribers can enable automatic overages at an additional charge. Marketplace earnings are separate and route via Stripe Connect.

**Q:** What's the difference between Alysium Free and Pro?

**A:** Free and Pro both include full platform access — document upload, all widget themes, embedding, AgentHub marketplace, and analytics. Pro has a higher monthly credit allowance and the option to enable automatic overages (continue chatting after allowance runs out, charged on the next invoice). Free plan users can't enable overages.

**Q:** Can I make money on Alysium with a free plan?

**A:** Yes — marketplace earnings through AgentHub are separate from your subscription tier. Free and Pro creators earn identically: Alysium deducts a platform fee per transaction and routes the remainder to your Stripe Connect account. Your subscription tier doesn't affect your creator income.

**Q:** What happens when I run out of credits on Alysium?

**A:** On Free: chat is blocked until your next billing period's allowance resets. On Pro with overages disabled: same — chat blocked. On Pro with overages enabled: credits continue to flow and excess usage is charged on your next monthly invoice at the overage rate. Toggle overages in billing settings.
