Billing

Pay-as-you-go credits

Pipevideo uses a prepaid credit balance measured in cents (USD). Credits are consumed when orchestration LLM token usage is billed after a generation's composition step completes.

You need a positive balance before creating new generation requests. If your balance reaches zero, POST /v1/responses returns a 400 error with an insufficient credits message.

Adding credits

1. Sign in to pipevideo.co.
2. Select your organization.
3. Open Billing from the dashboard sidebar (/billing).
4. Use Add funds to top up via Stripe.

Credits are applied immediately after successful payment.

Transaction history

The billing page shows:

• Current balance — available credits
• Credit ledger — top-ups, usage deductions, and adjustments
• Payment history — Stripe payment records

Who can manage billing

Only organization administrators can add funds and view payment history. All members can view the current balance on the dashboard.

Pricing

Orchestration model pricing is listed per million tokens (input and output) on the Engines page and via GET /v1/engines. Pipevideo applies a premium multiplier on top of base model rates — effective rates are shown in the API response.

There is no subscription tier or monthly minimum. You pay only for token usage on completed orchestration steps.

Invoices

Payment receipts are available through Stripe after each top-up. Ensure your billing email is current in your organization settings for tax documents.
