Usage-Based Pricing

Free during the beta

While we're in beta, all of this is free and none of the pricing below takes effect yet. When the beta ends, we'll move every workspace into a 14-day trial automatically, so you get two weeks to explore the plans and pick the right one before anything is charged.

Pricing that follows your usage

Every plan now comes with a monthly allowance for the things that cost us to run for you: Cat's work and the documents we process. Stay within it and you pay nothing extra; go past it and you're only charged for what you actually used, counted to the document and the token. There are no tiers to jump and no paying for headroom you'll never touch.

Always know where you stand

A new usage dashboard in Settings → Billing shows how much of each allowance you've used this period and gives you a running estimate of the month's cost: your plan, your seats, and any usage beyond the allowance, added up. If you cross your included amount, it's flagged plainly, so the bill at renewal is never a surprise.

Start free, grow when you're ready

The Free plan is a real plan, not a countdown. You get a monthly allowance and no card is required. When you outgrow it, Solo and Team start with a 14-day trial, and Team bills by seat with your first seats included, so your cost grows only as your team does.

Coming soon: bring your own meter

The same usage engine that meters Expensicat is built to work for your product, too. We're building toward letting you define your own meters, stream in your product's usage, and bill your own customers right on top of Expensicat. The foundation landed in this release, and the rest is on the way.

• Workspace

  • A live usage dashboard in Settings → Billing shows exactly how much of your allowance you've used this period, with a clear flag once you go past it.
  • An estimated cost for the month, broken down into your plan, seats, and any usage beyond your allowance, so renewal day holds no surprises.
  • A genuine Free plan with a monthly allowance and no card required, so you can keep working without committing.
  • Start any paid plan with a 14-day free trial.

Improvements2

• Workspace
  • Team plans bill by seat with your first seats included, so cost only grows as your team does.
  • Past your allowance you pay only for what you actually use, metered to the document and the token rather than rounded up to the next tier.

API1

• Invoicing
  • Creating an invoice now accepts an idempotency key, so a retried request never creates a duplicate.
