Billing & Infrastructure
LLMFence uses a Bucket + Overage model designed for predictable enterprise forecasting while allowing for a seamless scale during usage spikes.
Included Buckets
Every plan includes a monthly allowance of API calls. Usage within this bucket incurs $0 in additional charges.
Safety Spend Caps
Prevent runaway costs with hard spend caps. Your API will automatically block overage once your limit is reached.
Pricing Tiers & Allowances
| Tier | Included Bucket | Overage Rate | Hard Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | 1,000 / mo | N/A | Yes (Strict) |
| Launch | 50,000 / mo | $0.001 / call | Configurable |
| Scale | 500,000 / mo | $0.0005 / call | Configurable |
How Overages Are Calculated
The Included Bucket is used first.
No overage is tracked or billed until you exceed your tier's monthly call allowance.
Usage tracking is real-time.
As soon as you cross the threshold, additional calls are logged and multiplied by your tier's overage rate (e.g., $0.001/call).
Reset occurs monthly.
Your monthly_calls_used counter is reset to 0 on your specific billing anniversary date each month.
