Billing & Costs

Understand LumenFlow's pricing, token metering, and cost controls.

How billing works#

LumenFlow meters usage at the workspace level. You pay for:

  1. Plan tier — Free, Team, or Enterprise
  2. Managed inference — included credit on Free, metered usage on paid plans
  3. BYOK provider charges — only when you choose to route through your own model key

Viewing costs#

Go to Settings → Billing in your workspace to see:

  • Current month's token usage
  • Cost breakdown by action type
  • Historical trends (daily, weekly, monthly)

Cost controls#

Budgets#

Set monthly budgets per workspace:

Monthly budget: $50.00
Current usage:  $23.47
Alert at:       80% ($40.00)
Hard stop at:   100% ($50.00)

When usage hits the alert threshold, you'll get a notification. At the hard stop, Sidekick pauses new actions until the next billing cycle (or you increase the budget).

Per-action limits#

You can also limit individual actions:

SettingExample
