Rate card

machine work, prepaid

Machine work: external API-key requests, imports, workflows, agents and scheduled jobs. Successful external API-key reads and writes use the operation rates below. Starting a managed execution from the interface still starts that metered service.

Credit rate card
Machine workIncluded per $1 of credit
List/filter or get record calls20,000
Search or aggregate calls4,000
CSV or PDF exports100
Record writes4,000
Imported or synced records200,000
File upload in MB2,000
Workflow runs2,000
Code-node compute beyond included in CPU-sec12,000
Agent executions2,000
Scheduled jobs or webhook activations20,000

Read and write rates apply to successful external API-key requests. Ordinary manual work in the ERP.AI interface is $0.

prepaid creditsSmallest pack $5, purchased credits never expire.

Selected monthly operations

Estimated usage$60.00

Each selected quantity divided by its rate per dollar, then added. This is metered usage; buying a credit pack is a separate top-up.

This estimate covers these sliders only. Other operations, retained capacity and model charges are additional. Workflow runs include 5 CPU-sec each; extra code-node compute uses its own rate.

What is free

The base account and ordinary manual work in ERP.AI’s official interface are $0. Viewing, searching, creating, editing, approving, deleting and exporting records in that interface do not consume read or write credits. There is no per-user fee.

Agree the included scope and rollout work before starting.

What is metered
  • external API-key requests
  • imports
  • workflows
  • agents
  • scheduled jobs

The smallest credit pack is $5. The other one-time packs are $20 and $100. Purchased credits never expire; there is no recurring subscription or monthly minimum. Estimate usage from the shop’s expected imports, integrations and workflow activity.

Each workflow run includes the first 5 CPU-sec. Code-node compute beyond that allowance uses the separate CPU-sec rate. Failed API results do not settle an App Builder operation charge; measured billable usage from a managed execution can still settle after cancellation or an error.

Each billing account includes 100,000 retained business records and 100 MB of managed file retention. Beyond those allowances, records cost $1 per 100,000 record-months and managed files cost $2 per logical GB-month. Retention is settled daily. Archived and Trash records still count. Shared file references count once; independent copies and saved versions count separately.

Ordinary manual work remains available at a zero balance. New metered work pauses until the billing account has enough credits. Model usage and the Proto Agent fee are described below; they are additional to the operation rates in this table. The platform pricing page carries the current full rate card and account rules.

Implementation and rollout

Fitting the system to a shop, migrating data and going live by process is priced separately. Your quote reflects: sites, integrations, data volume and support level. Talk to our team about your implementation plan.

Pricing questions

All questions
Does the quote become the job?

The accepted offer carries its exact quantity, price and revision into order and job preparation. Operations, material requirements, drawing references and instructions become a released traveler snapshot. A quantity outside the reviewed offer needs a revised approved basis; choosing the closest quantity break is not enough.

Related question
How does floor time become job cost?

Operators submit work evidence and tickets for the authorized supervisor or manager to review. Approved labor allocations, occupied machine time and frozen rates determine their respective cost entries. An employee tending several machines cannot be charged as several people for the same elapsed time.

Related question
How do deposits and progress invoices affect final billing?

The billing plan retains prior billed scope separately from cash collection. A final invoice accounts for all applicable deposit and progress billings, even if some are unpaid. Shipment and final billing cannot each charge the same obligation. Credits, refunds and payment returns have their own linked treatment.

Related question
Does it replace accounting or payroll?

The scope includes job cost, customer invoices and cash application. The general ledger, supplier payables and payroll remain in the connected systems. Agree tax ownership, mappings and acknowledgment rules, and verify the chosen connections before operational use.

Related question
What does a rollout involve?

Start with role decisions, rates, work calendars, drawings and material evidence. Choose a new-job cutover or reconcile the complete in-flight baseline. Device support, connections, opening records and operating rehearsals determine the schedule; the implementation page describes the phases.

Related question
What does it cost?

There is no per-user fee. Ordinary manual work in the official interface is free; machine work, managed execution, model usage and retention beyond the included allowances follow the pricing contract. Implementation is priced separately. See the pricing page for the complete rates and account rules.

Related question
Can we change it after go-live?

Use Proto to configure and later change the application on a branch you review before release. Its machine work and model usage are metered.

ERP-1 Fast costs $0.05 per 1 million cached input tokens, $0.25 per 1 million uncached input tokens and $0.75 per 1 million output tokens. The 8% Proto Agent fee is added to the exact model amount and shown separately on the receipt.

With an OpenRouter key, OpenRouter bills model inference directly. ERP.AI charges 8% of the exact OpenRouter-reported model cost, plus any separately metered ERP.AI resources used by the run. Usage receipts identify the model, credential source, applied rate-card version and itemized charges.
