Billing & Plans

CredVault has four user-facing plans: Free Trial, Starter, Team, and Pay-as-you-go. Billing supports USD and KES.

Plans

Free Trial

  • Requests: 500K per month
  • Compute: 10 hours

Use this plan to test the platform without paying. When the trial expires, the account is locked to read-only until the user upgrades.

Starter

  • Requests: 500K per month
  • Compute: 10 hours
  • AI inference: 5K calls
  • Seats: 1
  • Deployments: 1
  • Support: Community support

Starter is for one person or a small test deployment that needs a paid account but does not need team capacity.

Team

  • Cost: $29/month or KSh 3,770/month
  • Seats: 5 included
  • Extra seats: $5/month or KSh 650/month each
  • Storage: 50 GB
  • Requests: 5M per month
  • Compute: 100 hours
  • AI inference: 50K calls
  • IoT/robot devices: 5
  • Support: Email support

Team is for shared workspaces, team access, more usage, and larger operational workloads.

Pay-as-you-go

  • Base cost: $0
  • Setup fee: $5 or KSh 650
  • Storage: $0.50/GB/month or KSh 65/GB/month
  • Compute: $2.50/hour or KSh 325/hour
  • Requests: $0.50/100K or KSh 65/100K
  • Bandwidth: $0.50/GB or KSh 65/GB
  • AI inference: $0.50/1K or KSh 65/1K
  • Seats: $10/seat/month or KSh 1,300/seat/month

Pay-as-you-go is for users who want usage-based billing instead of fixed plan limits. Monthly invoices are generated from recorded usage.

Add Card

Adding a card runs a small verification charge so Paystack can confirm the payment method works.

  • USD accounts: $1
  • KES accounts: KSh 130

The card authorization can later be used for paid invoices and recurring charges.

What Happens After Payment

  1. The user chooses a plan.
  2. CredVault opens Paystack checkout for paid plans.
  3. Paystack confirms the payment.
  4. CredVault stores the selected plan and payment authorization.
  5. The billing account becomes active.
  6. Usage and invoices continue from the active billing account.

Billing Controls

Users can view:

  • current plan
  • current usage
  • estimated monthly cost
  • invoice history
  • payment methods
  • spending limits
  • default card

Pay-as-you-go users can set spending limits. When a spending limit is reached, billable operations can be blocked until the user upgrades or increases the limit.

Invoices

Invoices show usage-based line items such as storage, requests, bandwidth, compute, backup storage, seats, and AI inference. Flat-rate plans use the fixed plan price, while Pay-as-you-go invoices are calculated from usage.
