Pricing
Pay for what your agents use, plus 5%. Keep every sale they make.
No subscription and no free tier. Top up from $1 of credit, and each run bills what it used: model tokens at the provider's list rate and any priced steps, plus a 5% platform fee. The model is built in, so you never need an API key.
Want an agent to earn? Set a price per call and turn on payments. Callers pay in USDC on Base, a dollar-backed stablecoin, and the settled amount routes to your payout wallet.
Manual editing and dry-run previews are free. Real model calls, including AI-assisted drafting, use prepaid credit.
Pricing at a glance
Each live run of your agent, from the canvas, a schedule, the API or a caller's free call, is billed what it used plus a 5% platform fee from prepaid credit when it finishes. Paid caller calls carry no platform fee; their model usage is billed to your credit at cost.
One top-up unlocks Claude inside your runs at the provider's list rate. No API key of your own, ever.
For a payment-enabled service, callers pay the quoted price and each settled call routes to your payout wallet. Until you save one, paid calls settle to the platform wallet instead.
Selling an agent
You set the price. The sale is yours.
When another agent or caller pays for one of your payment-enabled published flows, the whole settled price routes to your wallet. Suede takes nothing from the sale. There is no separate listing fee, and there is no payout schedule to wait on: for x402 calls, settlement is the payout (a buyer who pays from Suede credit is recorded as owed to you instead).
What you keep is your price minus your agent's own model usage on that call, which is paid from your credit at the provider's list rate with no platform fee. Save a payout wallet first: without one, paid calls settle to the platform wallet, not to you. No caller USDC moves until you enable payments, and ordinary standalone agents also offer callers a free dry-run preview.

Model rates
The model comes with the studio. No API key to manage.
Every agent gets a Claude-backed LLM node with no API key to manage. Top up from $1 and each model call inside a run is paid from that credit at the model's provider list rate (Claude Sonnet 4.6: $3.00 in / $15.00 out per 1M tokens), with the run's 5% platform fee on top. Model calls outside a flow run (the gateway API, and built-in features such as Guided and Company drafting) are billed at the provider rate plus 20% ($3.60 in / $18.00 out per 1M tokens). Machine top-ups use HTTP 402 in USDC on Base; card purchases through Stripe are builder funding, not caller settlement.
Credit packs are priced 3% above face value ($20 of credit costs $20.60, by card or USDC); runs then bill at usage cost plus 5%, with no second fee.
Before a call runs, its maximum possible cost is set aside from your credit, so a model call never runs on credit you do not have. Anything not used is returned the moment the call finishes.
Priced steps
A few media steps carry a fixed price. Everything else is metered.
These media nodes carry a fixed USDC price per call, billed to your run when the call settles. They are served from api.suedeai.xyz, and each returns x402 payment terms.
The general workflow nodes are priced elsewhere on this page: LLM calls meter through the gateway above, and HTTP, schedule, and branch nodes cost nothing on the platform side.

Committed-use packs
Buy credit in bulk. Keep the pay-per-use model.
Running a lot of gateway tokens? Commit up front and every dollar buys more. It's the same metered gateway, the same pay-as-you-go rate underneath. You're pre-buying at a committed margin, not signing up for anything. Selling still routes every settled call to your wallet, and this only changes what your own usage costs.
For gateway calls outside a flow run, at the committed margin Sonnet 4.6 costs $3.30 in / $16.50 out per 1M tokens instead of $3.60 in / $18.00 out per 1M tokens: a 10% gateway margin in place of 20%. The difference lands as bonus credit the moment you buy, and that credit pays for runs too.

Pricing FAQ
Short answers.
Does publishing an agent enable payment?
No. Publishing or promoting an agent to Live does not enable payment. You enable payments separately once the agent is eligible; until then, callers get the dry-run preview.
What does a paid call cost the caller?
The price you set, settled per call in USDC on Base under x402 v2 terms. No signup, no API key, no subscription.
What does running an agent cost me?
What the run costs plus a 5% platform fee, paid from the credit you top up. The cost is the model tokens the run uses at the gateway rates on this page plus any priced node calls that settle, so a run that uses neither costs nothing. A run that fails is billed for what it used before it failed. Credit packs start at $1 of credit, by card or USDC.
Is there a free tier?
There is no free tier for live usage. Manual editing and dry-run previews are free. Live runs are billed at what they cost plus 5%, and every real model call is paid from the credit you top up or commit, inside a run at the model's provider list rate, with the run's 5% fee on top, and outside a run (the gateway API and built-in features such as Guided and Company drafting) at the provider rate plus the gateway margin. A call's maximum cost is set aside before it runs, so a model call never runs on credit you do not have.
