Actions on X show their price first, AI is charged at what it really used, and paid work is held while it runs. [Compare plans](https://kairopost.com/pricing) ## Priced, held, then charged or released Watch a wallet through two actions: a post that X confirms, and a card that fails. You pay for the first. The second costs nothing. Always free - Writing and editing drafts yourself - Scheduling and rescheduling - Approvals, comments and revisions - Inviting teammates and managing access - Organising, searching and exporting your content - Copilot's Reply on X, Scroll Radar and notes Uses credits - Publishing, editing and deleting posts on X - Reading mentions and post metrics from X - AI drafts with the stronger models - Designs and information cards - Web research ## Fair AI AI is charged by what it really uses, never more than the price you saw. You pay what the AI really uses A short draft uses less, so you are charged less. Every result shows what it cost. Limits you set, like the most one Agent message may spend or a campaign cap, stop spending before it goes over. Typical prices **A draft** 1 to 14 credits The price depends on the model you pick. Every model shows its own price in the app. ## The full rate card Every action and its price in credits. AI rows show a typical draft. Search it, or filter by category. ## The order credits are used in No guessing which credits go first. Your monthly allowance, then packs, soonest expiry first. ## Need more? Add a pack Packs are for active subscribers and are used after your monthly credits. They last 12 months. Turn on automatic top ups with a monthly limit if you never want to run out. ### One shared wallet Every account in a workspace draws from the same balance. ### Budgets per account Daily and monthly limits so one account can't use up everything. ### Spending caps A workspace wide ceiling that nothing can go past. ### Early warnings Low balance and forecast alerts before an autopilot would stall. ### Receipts Every purchase and renewal, with receipts you can download. ### A ledger you can trust Every change to your balance is recorded and never edited, only added to. ## Questions about credits ### How is AI charged? By what the AI really used, so a short draft costs less than a long one. Every result shows what it cost, and limits you set, like the most one Agent message may spend or a campaign cap, stop spending before it goes over. A typical draft costs 1 to 14 credits, depending on the model. ### What does the Copilot extension cost? Copilot is included in every plan. Its AI drafts are charged like all AI writing, at what the AI really used (a typical draft is 1 to 14 credits). Reading the post, Scroll Radar and sending with X's own reply window are free. ### What happens when I run out? Paid work waits instead of failing. You get a low balance alert first, and automatic top ups can prevent it entirely. ### Do monthly credits roll over? Plan credits refresh each billing period and don't carry over. Credit packs are used after plan credits and last 12 months. ### Why do posts with links cost more? X charges more to publish a post that contains a link, so link posts have a higher rate. The composer shows the price before you schedule one. ### Can I get money back for unused credits? Credits have no cash value and credit packs are not refundable, except where the law says otherwise. See the Terms of Service. ### Who processes payments? Our payment provider hosts checkout and subscriptions. Kairo Post only adds credits after the payment provider confirms a payment through a signed notification, never because of a browser redirect. ## Post at the right moment. Starting today.
