How pricing works

Axiomatic cloud uses prepaid USD credits and usage-based charges — not traditional per-seat ERP subscriptions and not one flat monthly fee for the entire platform.

How others often price	Axiomatic cloud
Per user / seat (e.g. many CRMs, Salesforce)	No per-seat license for the platform
Flat monthly plan (e.g. QuickBooks, Xero — by product edition)	No fixed “Starter / Pro / Enterprise” platform subscription
Prepaid balance, pay as you go	Yes — add credits; billable usage draws down your balance

QuickBooks and Xero charge predictable monthly or annual subscription fees for the edition you choose; they do not meter every ledger post or API call. Salesforce is primarily per-seat. On Axiomatic cloud you top up a USD balance and pay for what you use at published rates.

Your workspace balance

Each workspace (tenant) has its own credit balance. Usage — such as posting transactions, API writes, AI, proofs, storage, and e-signatures — reduces that balance at the rates shown in the app. When the balance reaches zero, write actions in that workspace pause until you add more credits. You can usually still view reports and data.

Accountants and consultants: when you work inside a client’s workspace, Admin → Billing shows that client’s balance and usage (according to your role). That “bill in the client’s context” experience is familiar from practice software; the pricing model here is prepaid usage credits, not a single flat monthly ERP fee like QuickBooks or Xero.

Getting started and topping up

New workspace — Your first workspace typically includes a small starting credit (commonly $10) so you can try the product. Additional workspaces you create may start at $0 until you add credits.
Several entities, one bill — If your workspace has multiple entities (companies, funds, etc.), they share one credit balance. Usage history can show which entity drove each charge.
Add credits — Purchase credits in Admin → Billing with Stripe. You can turn on auto-recharge so the balance refills when it runs low.
API usage — Automated integrations use the same balance. If credits run out, write requests may return 402 Payment Required.

Where to see balance and rates

Open Admin → Billing to view balance, buy credits, manage auto-recharge, and review usage. Owners and admins can purchase credits and change auto-recharge; other roles may have read-only access depending on permissions.

For the full rate card, see Accounting → Pricing in the app or the pricing page on our website. Rates can change over time; the app always shows what applies to your workspace.

Example rates

1 credit = $1 USD of balance. Indicative unit costs (check the app for current numbers):

Activity	Typical cost
Ledger transaction posted	About $0.002 each (~$2 per 1,000)
API write	About $0.001 each (~$1 per 1,000)
AI (tokens)	Per 1,000 input/output tokens
AI agent step	Per step
Proof or on-chain anchor	Per proof / anchor
File storage	Per GB-month
Address lookup (maps)	Per completed session
E-signature (per signer)	Per signer when a request is sent
On-chain transaction fees	Pass-through of actual network cost

Inviting teammates, browsing data, and reading reports are not separately metered as platform credits, but heavy automation still uses API, AI, and posting meters when it changes data.

Accounting firms

Firms enrolled in the partner program may have separate per-client arrangements (monthly fees by client tier). That is independent of the prepaid credit balance in each client’s workspace. Contact us or your account team for partner pricing.

API and integrations

API keys are tied to an entity inside a workspace; usage debits the workspace balance. Monitor balance in Admin → Billing and handle 402 responses in your integration. See the API Reference for billing-related endpoints.
