TL;DR: Alysium has Free and Pro tiers. Usage is credit-based — different AI models cost different amounts per message. Pro subscribers can enable automatic overages to keep chatting after their allowance runs out. Free plan users can't enable overages. Marketplace creator income is separate from subscription pricing and routes via Stripe Connect.

Alysium's pricing is credit-based, which means what you pay depends on how much your agents are used and which AI models you've chosen. Here's how it works at each tier.

The Credit System

All AI conversations on Alysium consume credits from your workspace's monthly allowance. The key thing to understand: different AI models cost different amounts per message. A fast, lightweight model costs fewer credits per conversation. A deep-reasoning model costs more. When you configure your agent, the model you select determines how quickly your credit balance decreases with use.

Your account dashboard shows your current credit balance, how much you've consumed this month, and a breakdown of usage by agent. When your monthly allowance runs out, chat is blocked — unless you've enabled overages.

Free vs Pro

Both Free and Pro tiers give you access to the full Alysium platform: document upload, instruction configuration, all 36 widget themes, embedding, AgentHub marketplace access, and analytics. The difference is in the monthly credit allowance and the ability to enable overages.

Free: A monthly credit allowance that covers light to moderate usage. When your allowance runs out, chat is blocked until the next billing period. You cannot enable automatic overages on the free plan.

Pro: A higher monthly credit allowance. Pro subscribers can turn on automatic overages — when your allowance runs out, credits continue to flow and the excess is charged on your next monthly invoice at the overage rate. This is useful if your agents have unpredictable usage spikes.

You manage your subscription from the Billing & Subscription settings page. Upgrades take effect immediately. Cancellations, payment method changes, and invoice history are handled through the Stripe Customer Portal.

Marketplace Earnings Are Separate

If you sell agents through AgentHub, your earnings are separate from your subscription. When a buyer uses your paid agent, Alysium deducts a platform fee and routes the remainder to your connected Stripe account. Your subscription tier doesn't affect your marketplace earnings — a Free plan creator earns the same way as a Pro creator.

What to Consider When Choosing a Tier

Start with Free. Build your agent, embed it on your website, see how much traffic it gets. If you're consistently hitting your monthly allowance and finding chat blocked at inconvenient times, Pro's higher allowance and overage option make the upgrade worthwhile. If your usage is light or seasonal, Free may be all you need indefinitely.

How Credits Work in Practice

The credit system becomes intuitive once you've run an agent for a few weeks. Your dashboard shows your current balance, how much you've consumed this month, and a per-agent breakdown. You can see which agents are consuming most of your credits and whether any single agent is driving unexpected usage.

If you chose a deep reasoning model for an agent that's handling high-volume FAQ, you'll see it in the credit consumption rate. Switching that agent to a fast, lightweight model doesn't change the quality for factual retrieval questions — and it can meaningfully extend how far your monthly allowance goes.

Understanding Overage Billing

Overages on the Pro plan are straightforward: when your monthly allowance runs out, credits continue to accrue at the overage rate and the total excess is added to your next monthly invoice. There's no per-incident charge or mid-month surprise bill — it shows up on your next statement.

The overage toggle is in your billing settings. If you have agents with predictable, moderate traffic, you can leave it off and let chat block when the allowance runs out. If your traffic is seasonal or spiky — a launch period, a viral share, a press mention — turning on overages prevents visitors from hitting a blocked chat at the worst possible time.

The Relationship Between Credit Costs and Model Choice

Not all agents need the same model. A coach's methodology agent that needs to reason through complex client situations benefits from a deep reasoning model. The same coach's FAQ agent (what are your hours, what's your cancellation policy, how do I book) handles those questions perfectly with a fast, affordable model at a fraction of the credit cost per conversation.

Most builders don't realize they can run different models on different agents in the same workspace. Match the model to the use case. Use the model selector to describe what each agent does and let Alysium match the capability tier to the task.

What Marketplace Earnings Actually Look Like

AgentHub earnings are separate from your subscription credits. When a buyer uses your paid agent, Alysium deducts a platform fee and routes the remainder to your Stripe account. The earnings hit your Stripe Connected Account and pay out on Stripe's standard settlement schedule — the Creator Dashboard shows an estimated next payout date, and your payout history is viewable there.

There's an income projection simulator in the listing configuration that lets you model scenarios before you set your price: enter your expected monthly conversations, average messages per conversation, and per-message price, and it calculates projected monthly and annual revenue. Use it before locking in a price — the difference between $1 and $3 per conversation looks manageable in the abstract and significant at volume.

For current pricing figures and exact credit amounts per tier, visit Alysium's pricing page — those numbers update with product changes and the pricing page is always the current source of truth.

Start free, upgrade when it makes sense. Create your account — no credit card required for the free tier.

One More Thing: Subscription Management Lives in Stripe

Alysium uses Stripe's Customer Portal for subscription management. If you need to update your payment method, download a past invoice, cancel your subscription, or change your billing date, those operations happen through the Stripe portal rather than a custom Alysium settings screen. It's accessible from your billing settings. This isn't a limitation — it means your payment data stays with Stripe, which is the standard for companies that take payment security seriously.

The Short Version

Free if your usage is light. Pro when you're hitting the allowance consistently and finding chat blocked at inconvenient times. Overages on Pro when traffic is unpredictable. Check the pricing page for current credit amounts — those numbers are always up to date there.

The system is simpler than it first appears: one monthly credit pool, one usage rate determined by your model choices, one toggle for overages. Most creators understand it fully within their first billing cycle.
