# Pricing Overview Cosantoir developer billing is credit-based. Signed-in workspaces fund a developer wallet, production runtime requests burn that balance, and enterprise can move to contract pricing without changing integrations. ## Wallet Funding - Developer wallet purchases start at $10. - Hosted Stripe checkout funds self-serve wallet balance for signed-in workspaces. - The pricing surface returns to the same page with credit-checkout status when hosted checkout completes or is canceled. - Wallet balance, projected available credit, monthly budget caps, and minimum production credit all surface in the dashboard billing controls. - Billing recovery mode takes over when a workspace is past due or still owes a collectible invoice. - Enterprise stays sales-assisted and can use negotiated rates, invoicing, or committed credit structures instead of self-serve top-ups. ## Metering Model - Frontend protection covers rate limiting, WAF, signup protection, and bot protection. - Backend verification covers IP intelligence and email validation. - Sandbox, staging, and JWT console traffic remain free. ## Production Readiness Production API-key traffic is enabled only when the workspace has enough developer wallet credit to satisfy the configured minimum runtime threshold. If billing becomes past_due, the backend now exposes a bounded grace window before production access hard-blocks. The dashboard shows whether the workspace is still inside that grace window or has already crossed into enforced recovery.
