PRICING FAQ
How does pricing work?
Per-respondent. $0.02/respondent for Pulse, $0.025–$0.10 for Screening Room (Quick $0.025, Balanced $0.05, Deep $0.10), and $0.015 for Ads Labo. Pulse Debate adds rounds: each of the first five rounds costs the base rate, rounds 6 onward are half rate. The price you see on the slider is exactly what your wallet is debited — with one exception in your favour: a debate ends as soon as the panel reaches consensus, and you are charged only for the rounds actually deliberated, so the debate figure is a maximum and the balance is returned when the study settles.
How does the wallet work?
Studies are debited from a prepaid wallet, like a phone-credit balance. Free accounts get $5 of welcome credit at signup; Pro and Max top up monthly with a wallet credit grant. Wallet credit is non-refundable but rolls over: it stays in your wallet until spent, including after you cancel.
What happens if my wallet runs out?
The next study is paused with a clear message and a top-up link. We never overdraw and never auto-charge — top-ups are always manual.
What do I get by upgrading my plan?
Bigger monthly wallet credit, larger panel caps (Pro: 500, Max: 1,000 respondents), and higher MCP limits — Max adds the highest MCP rate limits, a larger monthly MCP spend ceiling, and invoicing. Per-respondent pricing is the same across all plans — the value is in the credit grant + capacity, not a per-study discount. The REST API is for Enterprise accounts.
Can I run studies from code or an AI agent?
Every plan, Free included, can run studies from an AI agent such as Claude or Cursor through the CrowdOS MCP server — at the plan's limits and the same per-respondent rates as the web app. Create an MCP key from your account. The REST API, for calling CrowdOS from your own code, is available to Enterprise accounts.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Pro and Max are month-to-month. Cancel from your account settings; your remaining wallet balance stays available until exhausted, but the monthly credit stops accruing.
