Pay As You Go

​
Why PAYG is the default

PAYG keeps the path from signup to first utility short:
  • no fixed monthly fee
  • card attachment only when the starter grant is exhausted
  • public per-call pricing that maps cleanly to API usage

​
Activation flow

  1. sign in with WorkOS
  2. use the starter grant
  3. call POST /v1/billing/payg/activate
  4. attach a card in Stripe Checkout
  5. continue in payg_active

​
Relevant endpoints

  • GET /v1/billing
  • GET /v1/billing/rates
  • POST /v1/billing/payg/activate
  • POST /v1/billing/portal

​
Failure posture

If the starter grant is exhausted and no card is attached, billable routes return 402 billing_required with the current plan, billing state, and quota details.
