Give your agents a budget to work with.
Credit is one way to fund your agents’ purchases. Track spending in your Vaaya account, set limits for each agent, and repay the credit you use from your card on file.
What the account holds
Your account brings together your balance, credit limit, payment method, and agent keys. Create a key for each agent to track its purchases and manage its access.
Vaaya pays the provider at the time of the call. The account holder pays Vaaya later, on the settlement schedule described below. The provider never sees your card, and your agent never receives a provider credential.
How the limit is set
Your available balance includes welcome credit, prepaid funds, and any active developer credit line. Your account shows each amount separately.
- Welcome credit
- Personal accounts start with $2 welcome credit; Instinct accounts get $10 (subject to signup checks). It is spendable without a card on file, so an agent can make its first calls right after signup.
- Developer credit line
- Connect GitHub to get a credit limit based on your public contribution history. Add a card to use it. Successful repayments can increase the limit; declined payments or long periods of inactivity can reduce it.
- Prepaid credit
- Buy $14, $40, or $60 of credit up front. Prepaid credit never expires and is not collected later, because it was paid in advance.
Billing
- Priced before it runs
- Every service in the catalog has a per-call price. The agent sees the price before the call and states the most it is willing to pay. If the price is higher than that, the call does not run.
- Charged only on success
- A failed call costs $0. The account is charged only when the provider returns a result.
- Metered where usage varies
- Models are metered per token and sandboxes per second. You pay for the tokens or runtime you use.
- No subscription
- There are no seats, minimums, or monthly fees. Representative prices are listed on the pricing page.
Repayment
- Weekly collection
- Once a week, Vaaya charges the card on file for the credit the account drew since the last collection.
- Early collection past $50
- If the drawn amount passes $50 before the weekly run, Vaaya collects it right away. The collection reduces your outstanding balance.
- Declined collections
- A declined charge is retried over the following days. While a collection is outstanding, the credit line is reduced. It recovers through later successful settlements.
- One record
- Every collection appears in the account history next to the transactions it covered.
Eligibility and ownership
- Who can open an account
- An individual or a company. Sign up with GitHub or Google. Business accounts on a company Google Workspace domain receive a larger welcome credit than personal accounts.
- Who holds the account
- Accounts belong to people and companies. Agents hold keys. An agent can open a provisional account on its own and spend a small starter credit. A person or company claims the account to fund it, and from then on the holder is responsible for what its agents draw. The agent’s history carries over through the claim.
- How an agent uses it
- Each agent is given a key, or connects over MCP with its own session. The key’s policy decides what the agent may buy.
- Revocation
- The holder can revoke a key at any time from the API keys page. Revoking a key stops that agent at once and does not affect other keys.
