Pricing

ayoai is open to builders, and this page describes how you're charged rather than locking in final rates. We're setting exact pricing together with our first builders — when you join, you'll see your rates in your dashboard before anything is ever billed.

What you pay for

One rate, metered while your agents actually run:

• Agent runtime — $0.191012 per agent-hour, all-in. The time your agents spend reasoning on ayoai's substrate, including the server they run on. Your engine's own work — rendering, physics, animation, movement — is never metered. That stays on your side.
• Reasoning tokens — included. The language-model work behind goals, planning, and memory comes with a generous allowance scaled to the hours you actually run; you're billed only beyond it, and most workloads never get near it. Lightweight behavior modules that don't call a model don't incur token charges.

Today, while per-agent metering rolls out, an environment bills as a single $0.191012/hour bundle regardless of how many agents are in it — if you run several agents per environment right now, the extra agents are on us.

No per-seat fees, and no markup on your own engine's compute.

Starter credits & balance

Every new account gets $10 in starter credits — applied automatically on your first API call — so you can build and test before you spend anything. Your balance is always visible, and ayoai checks it before launching a session — so a long run never surprises you with a bill. Need more to keep building? Reach out and we'll top you up.

Plans

As plans arrive they will stay simple and usage-based: a modest monthly base that includes a generous allowance of runtime and tokens, plus pay-as-you-go for anything beyond it. Our first builders help us set those allowances — tell us what you need to help shape them.
