How Studio spends money, and how to stay in control.

How a run is paid for

  1. Before a run, you approve its maximum (the agent’s “max per run”). Studio holds that amount from your credit.
  2. Each model, data, tool or skill call is checked against what’s left of the hold before it happens. If it can’t fit, the run stops and that call is not made.
  3. Every call returns a Staq receipt. You’re charged the Staq cost (from your Staq credits when your Staq account is connected), never more than you approved, and the rest of the hold is released.

Limits that deny a run before it starts

Credit available · workspace monthly cap · agent daily and monthly caps · the run’s own maximum. A denied run shows what was requested, what’s allowed and how to fix it. No charge is recorded.

Selling

Buyers pay your price per run through Stripe. Staq keeps the platform fee, and the rest is paid to your connected Stripe account. The run’s Staq usage is paid from your credit. If your credit can’t cover a run, the public page stops taking payments. If a paid run fails, the buyer is refunded automatically.

Client workspaces

Clone an agent into a client workspace to give that client their own budget, memory, runs and monthly statement with your markup.
