What you need to know first
Check the inputs below before starting. If you are new, begin with the first-project guide. A dataset holds media and labels; a model produces results; a deployment makes a selected model version callable. Creating one does not create the others.
Bring these inputs
- Subscription and payment state
- Metered workload and compute events
- Card or native TAO payment identity
Expected output and limits
- Credit balance, usage ledger, invoices, and payment state
- Plan or prepaid-credit changes
Core workflow
- 01
Review the plan
Free is $0 for one small private workflow. Smart is $69 per month and adds cloud-based production APIs, agents, and a 48-hour email response target. Pro is $249 per month with higher limits, customer-owned providers, hosted endpoints and agents, Score-operated infrastructure, and a 24-hour email response target. Community is a separate Apache 2.0 installation that runs locally on infrastructure its operator supplies. Open Billing to inspect the active plan, renewal date, and managed AI allowance for the selected workspace. Opening the page does not start a purchase.
- 02
Understand usage
Review API requests, evaluations, and managed AI use for the current month. Each plan includes a monthly number of production API requests and evaluations; past it, new ones are refused until next month or an upgrade. Nothing is billed beyond the plan.
- 03
Manage payment
Pay the fixed monthly fee by card or native TAO; direct SN44 alpha payments are coming soon. Paid features activate after the first payment settles. Card subscriptions renew through Stripe; TAO subscriptions renew when the available settled balance covers the next month. Open the Stripe customer portal for payment methods, billing details, and invoices. A TAO payment address is provisioned by the payment service rather than by the console, so a new workspace can see the address as not ready yet for a short moment; retry shortly. Native TAO transfers fund the workspace only once they are final on the network. Their USD credit increases Managed AI remaining, including on Free. Unspent TAO-funded credit carries across renewals; AI usage and wallet-funded subscriptions reduce it.
- 04
Add managed AI capacity
Smart and Pro can buy fixed $50 capacity packs for additional Fast or Ultra usage until the normal renewal date. A Score capacity voucher adds the same pack at no charge. Workspace owners and admins redeem it in Billing. Managed AI stops at zero and never creates automatic overage.
