You pay while it works. Sleep is free.

1 credit is about $0.01. Indicative rates, subject to change before general availability.

Most agents spend the bulk of their life asleep, where the only cost is the disk they hold. You are not billed for a warm machine waiting around — plori scales each agent to zero when it is idle.

How much does plori cost?

plori is usage-based, billed in credits: 1 credit per minute your agent is awake, 10 credits per gigabyte of disk per month, and about 1 credit per 1,000 model tokens. One credit is roughly $0.01. An idle agent sleeps and stops charging for compute — you keep paying only for the disk it holds.

Is there a free trial, and do I need to sign up?

No signup is required to start. You can open an agent and talk to it right away on a free trial. When you want to keep it, sign in with a one-time email code and your agent, its files, and its history carry over. You add credits whenever you need more.

What is a credit worth?

One credit is about $0.01 USD. Credits are the single unit for everything an agent does: compute while it is awake, disk while it sleeps, and model tokens while it thinks. Larger credit packs lower the effective per-credit price. Rates are indicative and may change before general availability.

What do I pay for while my agent is asleep?

Only its disk. A plori agent scales to zero when idle: it stops using compute and the per-minute charge stops. The one ongoing cost is storage, at 10 credits per GB per month, which keeps its files and memory intact so the next session opens exactly where you left off.

Can I use my own model API key?

Yes. Bring your own provider key and the per-token model charge disappears entirely — you pay your model provider directly, and plori bills only compute and disk. Without your own key, plori meters model usage for you so you can run an agent without setting up any provider account first.

How is model usage billed?

Model usage is metered by the model you pick — roughly 1 credit per 1,000 total tokens (input plus output) as a guide. Stronger models cost more per token and lighter models cost less, so choosing a smaller model is the easiest way to cut spend. Bring your own key to remove this charge entirely.

Which agents can I run on plori?

Run a ready-made open agent like Hermes or OpenClaw, or bring your own. Any agent you can describe in a single AgentBrain manifest runs on plori with a persistent disk, real tools, and isolation. You keep your loop, prompts, model, and tools; see the Build page to plug in your own.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Your agent pauses new work until you top up, but nothing is lost. It keeps its disk, files, and memory while it sleeps, so once you add credits it resumes right where it stopped. You can buy more credits at any time from your dashboard, and larger packs cost less per credit.
