Billing and Plans#
Manage your AlonChat plan, payment method, credit usage, add-ons, and billing documents.
Accessing Billing#
- Go to your project dashboard
- Click Settings in the sidebar
- Select Billing
Use Settings > Plans to compare plans, upgrade, downgrade, buy extra credits, and manage add-ons.
Public Plans#
The current public paid plan ladder is Starter, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Starter, Pro, and Business have published prices. Enterprise is contact-sales only and does not have a public fixed price. Basic is retained for historical billing records and is not available for new sales.
| Plan | Published Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | ₱2,500 monthly/prepaid | Growing businesses with API, MCP, CLI, CRM, and analytics |
| Pro | ₱6,000 monthly/prepaid | Teams that need higher volume, custom branding, and advanced integrations |
| Business | ₱15,000 monthly/prepaid | Higher-volume customer conversations and operations |
| Enterprise | Contact sales | Custom limits, onboarding, contracts, integrations, and support needs |
New accounts may receive a free trial with included credits, but trial access is separate from the public paid plan ladder. Hidden, legacy, or private plans are not public pricing and should not be quoted to customers.
The dashboard checkout is the source of truth before payment. Promotions, prepaid duration, annual billing, and project-specific agreements can change the final amount shown at checkout.
Plan Limits#
| Plan | Credits | Active Agents | Team Seats | Knowledge Storage | Documents / Agent | Photos & Media / Agent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Business | 9,000 | 1 | 5 | 40 MB | 100 | 500 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Knowledge storage covers the trained content your agent uses to answer. Document and media upload limits are counted separately for each AI agent.

Remove AlonChat branding is handled through the Remove Branding add-on or a custom agreement; it is not bundled for free in standard public plans.
Understanding Credits#
Credits power your AI agent's responses. Each AI response consumes credits based on the model you selected for the agent.
Models are grouped by quality and speed (for example budget, mid-tier, premium). Open the model selector in Agent Studio → Guidance for current options and exact credit costs.
Credit Rules#
- Subscription plan credits reset every billing cycle
- Prepaid plan credits are valid for the selected prepaid period; default is 1 month
- Extra AI Credits are valid for 30 days whether bought once or through Auto-Replenish
- When credits run out, the agent stops responding until credits are replenished
Add-ons#
Need more capacity without changing plans? Add-ons appear in Settings > Plans when they are available for your billing model.
Common add-on types include:
- Extra 1,000 AI Credits for ₱2,500 on active paid plans
- The same 1,000-credit add-on as Auto-Replenish on subscriptions with a saved card
- Extra agent capacity or branding upgrades when available
Add-on availability and pricing are shown in checkout before payment.
Payment Methods#
AlonChat processes payments through PayMongo.
Checkout may support:
- Credit/debit cards
- GCash
- Maya
- Bank transfer or manual payment where available
Subscription card updates may require PayMongo authentication or manual review. Billing shows pending or manual-review state when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions#
What is the cheapest public paid plan?#
Starter: ₱2,500 monthly/prepaid, or ₱2,000 effective monthly on an annual subscription.
Do you still sell Premium or other hidden plans publicly?#
No. The public fixed-price paid plans are Starter, Pro, and Business. Enterprise is contact-sales only. Hidden, legacy, private, or internal plans should not be quoted as public pricing.
What happens if I run out of credits?#
Your AI agent stops responding to new messages. Buy Extra 1,000 AI Credits for ₱2,500, enable the same add-on as Auto-Replenish on a subscription, upgrade, or wait for your next subscription reset.
Do unused credits roll over?#
Subscription plan credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Prepaid and add-on credits remain usable until their validity period ends.
Can I get a refund?#
Contact support@alonchat.com to discuss refund options.
How do I know which model tier to use?#
Start with a mid-tier model. Use budget models for simple FAQs and premium/top-tier models for complex or high-value conversations.
