Billing
Org-scoped USD balance, promotional signup credit, BYOK, and platform fees.
Billing is organization-scoped and based on real USD balance. Model usage, platform services, storage, collaboration, and other metered work draw from the organization's balance according to the pricing shown in the app.
Signup promotion
Alumia has a real early-bird promotion: the first 1,000 users receive $10 in signup credit. That is promotional credit, not a separate internal currency.
Platform-fee waiver
The signup promotion is separate from the $100 platform-fee waiver. The waiver means the first $100 in cumulative deposits has zero 5.5% platform fee.
Bring Your Own Key
When BYOK is active, provider usage is charged by that provider directly. Alumia still records the run as BYOK and, after the $100 waiver, meters the 5.5% platform fee on equivalent provider list price. Platform infrastructure, storage, collaboration, and app usage can also be metered separately.
