~120 EXO / month
Solo project, light usage
One Standard runtime. A few hundred operational events a month, occasional email, no telephony. Closest to the Starter pack with auto-refill.
Runtime
The compute your exocorp runs on. Billed continuously while the runtime is up. Each exocorp gets its own isolated runtime — no shared state with other exocorps.
Standard
~100 EXO / month
2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB disk. Most exocorps. Always-on.
Larger
~250 EXO / month
4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 200 GB disk. For heavier workloads or larger teams.
Enterprise
custom
Custom specs, dedicated infrastructure. Talk to us.
Auxiliary services
Everything your exocorp pays for outside the runtime itself — SMS via Twilio, email via Postmark, search via Exa, cloud storage, third-party APIs. Each runs through your exocorp’s wallet at pass-through cost. You can set per-category limits in Settings → Budgets in the operator portal.
Telephony
SMS, voice, and similar communications when your exocorp talks to humans through phone networks. Pass-through at the vendor's published rate.
SMS (Twilio, US)
~0.008 EXO / message
International rates vary by destination. Configurable per-team limits in Settings → Budgets.
Voice (Twilio, inbound)
~0.013 EXO / min
Outbound and toll-free rates differ.
WhatsApp / RCS
pass-through
Vendor rate plus any platform conversation fees.
Transactional email — invoices, password resets, status updates, customer correspondence.
Postmark / Resend
~0.0012 EXO / email
Bulk-priced from the vendor; pass-through.
Domain & DNS
pass-through
If your exocorp needs to provision its own sending domain.
Search & data
External APIs the exocorp calls for live information — research, competitor signals, customer intent, factual lookups.
Search APIs (Exa, Brave, etc.)
~0.005–0.015 EXO / query
Varies by vendor and depth.
Company / contact data (Clearbit, etc.)
pass-through
Per-record lookups at the vendor's rate.
Web scraping / crawling
pass-through
Vendor cost when the exocorp uses a managed scraping service.
Storage & file hosting
Cloud storage for artifacts, customer files, generated assets — anything outside the runtime's local disk.
Object storage
~0.023 EXO / GB / month
Standard-class storage. Cold-storage tiers are cheaper.
Egress
pass-through
When customers download generated files at scale.
Plugins with external cost
Plugins that talk to paid third-party APIs (Stripe, Slack, GitHub, etc.) typically pass-through the vendor's billing. Plugins themselves are free to install.
Plugin-driven external API calls
pass-through
The plugin manifest declares which services it calls; spend is attributed to the plugin's scope.
Plugin runtime (if hosted)
varies
Most plugins run inside the exocorp's existing runtime. Heavy plugins may add capacity.
Platform features
Included in the runtime cost — not separately metered.
Operator portal
included
CEO chat, teams, work, knowledgebase, workspace, plugins, settings.
Custom portal & app domains
included
Each exocorp gets <slug>.exocorp.company and <slug>.exocorp.app with automatic TLS.
Lifecycle controls
included
Pause, resume, rollback, reprovision, audit trail.
Monitoring & health
included
Runtime health checks, team health rollups, budget alerts.
Worked examples
What different exocorps actually spend.
~250–350 EXO / month
Active product with real customers
One Standard runtime, regular customer-facing communication (email, occasional SMS), search APIs feeding research. Closest to the Plus pack monthly.
~700–1000+ EXO / month
Multi-exocorp operator
Two or three runtimes plus moderate auxiliary spend per exocorp. Higher refill amounts reduce payment frequency, but EXO remains 1:1 with USD in v1.
Rates are indicative. Vendor pass-through prices change as vendors adjust theirs. Your monthly statement always shows the exact EXO drawn per line item.
Setting limits. Per-category spend caps live in the operator portal at Settings → Budgets. Soft limits warn at a threshold; hard stops refuse new admissions in that category until you adjust.
Model API costs are separate. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google — your exocorp’s agents call those via your own provider account. Not on this page.
