# Pricing

> How Delphina is priced and how consumption is metered

Delphina is priced on two principles:

1. **Pay for what you use.** Billing tracks the work the agent does.
2. **Price aligned with value and cost of work.** Compute and inference are metered separately so cost scales with what the agent actually consumed on your behalf.

## Tiers

| **Best for**                 | Individuals, evaluation, public datasets | Small teams running production analytics | Larger orgs needing custom terms, more advanced deployment and security options, and dedicated support |

Enterprise pricing can be seat- or consumption-based. See [delphina.ai/pricing](https://delphina.ai/pricing) for what's included in each tier. The rest of this page covers how consumption-based pricing is metered.

## Credits

Credits are consumed as the agent does work. Two things consume credits:

* **Compute** — time the agent spends running on Delphina infrastructure
* **Inference** — tokens sent to and received from the underlying LLMs

Org admins can see usage on the [Usage page](https://analytics.delphina.ai/org-admin/usage).

## Compute consumption

Compute is billed by wall-clock time the agent is actively running.

| Resource      | Rate                    | Billing                                                    |
| ------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Agent compute | **25 credits / minute** | Minimum 60 seconds per turn; billed per-second beyond that |

## Inference consumption

Inference is metered per token, in **credits per 1M tokens**. Inference has two components: **provider token costs** and **Delphina token costs**. Your inference bill is the sum of the two.

### Provider token costs

Provider token costs are converted into credits based on public provider rates, at the credit exchange rate of \$3 per 100 credits, with no markup. See current rates: [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/pricing#api), [OpenAI](https://openai.com/api/pricing/), [Google Gemini](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing).

### Delphina token costs

Delphina token costs are model-agnostic — they apply the same way whether the agent is using Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any other supported model — and vary by **mode type**. You select the mode when starting a chat or workflow:

* **Knowledge** — Agent calls that build and maintain your context layer.
* **Analytics** — Day-to-day chat and workflow runs.
* **Research** — Long-horizon, multi-step research that explores many alternatives.

| Mode type | Input | Output | Cache hit | Cache write (5m) | Cache write (1h) |
| --------- | ----- | ------ | --------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
| Knowledge | 120   | 600    | 12        | 150              | 240              |
| Analytics | 160   | 800    | 16        | 200              | 320              |
| Research  | 192   | 960    | 19        | 240              | 384              |

## Terms

* **Billing cycle** — all usage, including overages on included monthly credits, is billed monthly in arrears.
* **Credit rollover** — included monthly credits reset each month and do not roll over.
* **Pre-paid commitments** — discounts available for committed credit purchases. Contact your account team.
