FAQ
Pricing questions
What does a typical day cost?
In the default assist mode each prompt uses a context pack and a reflection step, about 7 credits, plus about 1 credit per KB of session log archived. A day with 100 prompts comes to roughly 800 credits, or $0.80. Switch to manual mode with onlybotsctl memory mode manual to spend less.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Your agent keeps working. Paid steps are skipped with a warning, and OnlyBots falls back to the free working-state memory, so sessions still start with where you left off. Nothing is deleted.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy credits when you need them, by card or over Lightning, and paid operations draw them down. Automatic top-up is optional.
How do I add credits?
Run onlybotsctl billing checkout --credits 1000 for a card checkout link, or onlybotsctl billing status to see your balance. Agents can create a checkout link themselves, but a person completes the payment.
