A pricing model where each output costs a fixed number of credits tied to its actual cost-to-serve — replacing per-seat pricing for AI tools.
Credit-based pricing prices AI content by unit of work, not by seat. One credit equals $0.005 of underlying cost in Kompozy. Every output type has a fixed credit cost — text post 3 credits, image card 8, blog 12, clipped short 14, avatar short 106, AI-generated short 214.
Per-seat pricing made sense for collaboration tools (Slack, Notion) where cost scaled with users. It does not match AI generation, where cost scales with output volume. Credit pricing also eliminates the tier-gating problem where features arbitrarily require upgrades.
