Usage-based billing for AI agents | Clocknext
AI billing is complex. Let's make it simple again.
Track AI usage from your product in real time, turn it into billable metrics with flexible pricing plans, and monitor costs, margins, and profitability at every level.

Revenue
$182,170
Provider cost
$81,140
Every token is easy to count. Turning it into revenue isn't.
Every AI interaction has to be metered, priced, and billed. Without the right infrastructure, you risk losing revenue, momentum, and peace of mind.
Build the pricing package
Mix credits, outcomes, and units into one package, then bundle them into a composite when a product needs its own price.
Pro plan
- Draft
- Price per credit $0.008 / $0.010
- Publish to all customers: Live, no deploy
Deploy changes instantly
Push a price change live and set the margin on every offering, with no engineering involvement.
Margin by customer
- Live Acme Inc. 74.9%
- Dunder Mifflin 66.9%
- Skynet Inc. 8.2% (Skynet Inc. is below target)
Optimize at every level
Watch margin by account, agent, and model in real time, then refine pricing to build a healthier pipeline.
Create your perfect pricing package
Start with one primitive, add the rest when you need them, and change the mix without touching the code that reports usage.

Units
Seats, repos, integrations, anything countable.
Composites

Prepaid
Customers fund a wallet before they use anything, and usage draws it down in real time. No chasing payment after the work is done.
Hybrid
A commitment upfront covers expected volume, and anything beyond it is billed after. Both land on the same invoice, under one plan.
Postpaid
Meter through the month and settle once at the end. It fits the purchase order and procurement cycle enterprise buyers already run.
Top-ups
Customers buy more credits or outcomes on their own, whenever they need them. The balance lands in their wallet straight away.
Take complete control over your margins
Bridge the gap between provider cost and usage with margins that keep your product's bottom line healthy in real time.

Revenue vs provider cost
Margin is the amber band
Revenue by month
| Month | Revenue | Provider cost | Margin | Gross margin | MoM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June | $13,400 | $3,370 | $10,030 | 74.9% | +15.5% |
| July | $15,200 | $3,820 | $11,380 | 74.9% | +13.4% |
| August | $16,900 | $4,250 | $12,650 | 74.9% | +11.2% |
| September | $17,350 | $4,370 | $12,980 | 74.8% | +2.7% |
Catch losses immediately
A model switch in June shouldn't surface in September. Cost is tracked as it happens, against the signal that caused it.
