Plans, usage and billing

Every APIANT.ai account starts on the Free plan, and you pick a paid plan on the Billing page after you sign in. Plan names, prices and each plan's allowances for assistant credits, connections, tasks, form submissions and execution history are listed at apiant.ai/pricing, which is the source of record for those numbers.

What differs between plans

Every plan runs the same engine. Plans differ in how much you can run each month, how long execution history is kept, and how often polling triggers can check for new data.

Each plan sets the shortest interval a polling trigger can use. A faster interval is raised to that minimum, and Claude or the assistant tells you it was changed. Clock-based (cron) schedules are not raised.

Working through Claude Code spends no assistant credits. Credits pay only for the assistant inside app.apiant.ai. See Assistant credits.

Enterprise

Enterprise adds a dedicated instance, dev and prod environments, fleet deploys to many accounts, private connectors, white label and custom limits. Use Talk to us on the Billing page or on the pricing page. See Publish and deploy and Linked and associated accounts.

What counts as a task

A task is one app action that completes successfully in a run.

Step	Counts as a task
An action in an app (create a record, send a message, look up a row) that succeeds	Yes, one per execution
The same action inside a loop	Yes, once per item it runs for
An action that fails, even if the automation's error handling recovers it	No
Conditions, loops, parallel branches, waits, scripts and data transforms	No

A task is counted whichever way the automation was built: in the assistant, from Claude Code, or deployed from a template.

When allowances reset

Tasks, form submissions, instant trigger calls, web service calls and the monthly assistant credit allowance all reset on the 1st of each calendar month. This holds on yearly billing too: a yearly plan still refills its allowances every month. Assistant credit packs you bought are not reset; each pack lasts until its own expiry date.

Account Usage panel

The Account Usage panel in the dashboard sidebar shows your plan name and a bar for each metered item: active automations, total tasks this month, instant triggers this month, form submissions this month, assistant credits this month, and pack credits. A bar changes color at 75 percent and again at 90 percent. An item your plan does not meter shows no bar, and an unlimited item shows the count with no ceiling.

When a quota is reached

Quota	What happens at the limit	Clears when
Tasks per month	The dashboard shows an Automations Not Processing banner. Incoming webhook deliveries are held, not dropped. Web service calls get HTTP `429`. A step that starts another automation by name fails with an error saying the account has reached its maximum number of tasks per month.	The 1st of the month, or a plan upgrade
Instant trigger calls per month	Incoming webhook deliveries are held, not dropped.	The 1st of the month, or a plan upgrade
Web service calls per month	The caller gets HTTP `429` with the plain-text body `monthly usage limit reached`.	The 1st of the month, or a plan upgrade
Form submissions per month	The form page shows "This form is temporarily unavailable because the account has reached its monthly form submission limit." with HTTP `403`.	The 1st of the month, or a plan upgrade
Assistant credits	The assistant refuses the next message and says how to get more credits. A reply already in progress finishes.	The 1st of the month, a plan upgrade, or a credit pack
Active automations, on a plan that limits them	When Claude or the assistant tries to turn on one more automation, the request is refused with "An upgraded subscription is required to have more than N active automations. Turn off another one of your automations to turn on this one."	Turn another automation off, or upgrade

Webhook deliveries held while the account was over a limit are not lost. The monthly reset on the 1st releases them and they run then, even if you upgraded earlier; deliveries that arrive after an upgrade run right away.

Usage warning emails

APIANT.ai emails the account when usage crosses 75 percent, 90 percent and 100 percent of a monthly quota. Each band sends once per month, and the flags clear on the 1st.

Quota	Email subjects
Tasks	"Monthly tasks at 75%", "Monthly tasks at 90%", "No more tasks remaining this month"
Form submissions	"Monthly form submissions at 75%", "Monthly form submissions at 90%", "No more form submissions remaining this month"
Instant triggers	"Monthly Instant Triggers at 75%", "Monthly Instant Triggers at 90%", "No more instant triggers remaining this month"
Web services	"Monthly Web Service executions at 75%", "Monthly Web Service executions at 90%", "No more Web Service executions remaining this month"

These emails go to the account email address. They do not follow the Alert email delivery setting, which controls error alerts only. See Your account.

Change your plan

Open the account menu and select Billing…. The page shows Your plan, a Monthly or Yearly toggle, and Available plans with each plan's limits.

Pick a plan card and select its button.
On a first paid plan, APIANT.ai sends you to Stripe checkout. The new plan applies once Stripe confirms payment.
If you already pay for a plan, the change moves your existing subscription in place. When the move switches between monthly and yearly billing, a confirmation step shows what happens: either what Stripe charges now, or a change scheduled for the end of the current period with nothing charged today.

Moving to a lower plan works as follows:

Current billing	When the lower plan applies
Monthly	Immediately
Yearly	At the end of the current yearly period. The scheduled change shows under Your plan, where Keep my current plan undoes it.

When a lower plan applies and it limits active automations, APIANT.ai switches off your most recently created active automations until you are within the limit. It also slows any polling automation that runs faster than the new plan's minimum interval.

Manage payment method opens Stripe's billing portal, where you update the card on file.

Payment and purchased credit packs attach to the top account of a linked account family, and a linked child account draws on that family's pack balance. See Linked and associated accounts.

Cancel your subscription

On the Billing page, select Cancel subscription.
Confirm.

You keep your plan until the end of the current billing period, and nothing is refunded. After that the account moves to the default plan, and automations over that plan's limits are switched off. Until the period ends, Keep my subscription on the Billing page undoes the cancellation.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause and fix
No Billing… item in the account menu	Billing is not turned on for the environment you are signed in to.
"You already have an active subscription."	A paid plan is already live. Use the plan list to move it rather than starting a new checkout.
"A checkout is already open for this account."	Finish the open Stripe checkout, or cancel it from the Billing page, then try again.
"Credit packs aren't available on your plan."	Packs come with Pro and above.
"You're viewing another account. Billing actions are disabled."	Switch back to your own account.
Webhooks stopped running mid-month	Check the Account Usage panel for tasks or instant triggers at 100 percent. Deliveries already held run after the reset on the 1st; an upgrade lets new deliveries run now.
