Plans and Credits
Pricing tiers, credits, and how usage is metered.
Pick a plan, get a monthly credit allotment, run as many agents as you need. Every plan unlocks the full feature set, the only thing that scales is how much work you do.
What are credits?
Credits are how Busy Bee meters usage. Every action your agents take (a chat message, a research task, an image generation, a deployment) costs some number of credits depending on the model used and the size of the work. Your plan refills your credit balance each month. Unused credits don't roll over; running out of credits doesn't shut anything down, it just opens up top-ups (more on those below).
Think of credits like API tokens, but bundled and predictable so you can budget upfront instead of guessing at per-token math.
Plans
| Plan | Price | Monthly credits | Included seats | Max seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,429 | 1 | 1 |
| Office | $30/mo | 2,800 | 1 | 5 |
| Builder | $100/mo | 9,200 | 1 | 10 |
| Pro | $200/mo | 18,500 | 1 | 25 |
Annual billing knocks two months off every paid tier (so Pro is $2,000/year instead of $2,400). Additional seats are billed monthly per user: $25 on Office, $85 on Builder, $170 on Pro.

What burns credits?
Roughly, in order of cost:
- Agent runs - every task an agent completes (researching, drafting, coding, posting).
- Quality tier - Budget (Kimi) is the cheapest; Standard (Sonnet) and Premium (Opus) cost more per token in exchange for stronger reasoning.
- Tools - web search, image generation, code execution, and integrations all draw credits from the same pool.
- Sandboxes - long-running development environments (Builder mode) consume credits while active.
Read-only actions (opening a project, scrolling through past deliverables, reviewing) are free. You only pay when an agent is actively doing work for you.
Topping up
If you run low mid-month, you can buy a one-time credit pack from the billing page. Top-up credits never expire; they sit in your balance until you use them. They're priced at a premium over plan credits, so subscribing to a higher tier is usually the better move if you're consistently going over.
