# Service pricing

> Understand AvraAPI credits, provider usage, and Workspace-based UPG commercial capacity.

AvraAPI uses product-specific billing models. Provider usage and Universal Payment Gateway capacity are deliberately separate.

## Provider services

Microservice providers can consume your project’s available AvraAPI credits according to the active service pricing. Before releasing an integration, review the current pricing surface and confirm the cost behavior of the provider you intend to call.

<Warning>
  Development requests are real requests. They are not mocked and can consume credits or trigger an upstream provider action, such as sending an SMS or generating an artifact.
</Warning>

## UPG commercial model

UPG is a Workspace-licensed product. Purchasing or claiming a Workspace UPG plan provides capacity; it does not automatically enable a project.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Workspace plan or entitlement">
    Provides the underlying UPG authorization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Available project capacity">
    The Workspace gains available slots.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explicit project-slot attachment">
    A slot is assigned to a specific project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Project gateway configuration">
    The project configures its Gateway Vault credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="New payment checkout">
    The project can now successfully create new UPG checkout sessions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The Workspace plan governs included capacity, permitted gateway access, and any extra project slots. Project gateway credentials remain encrypted and project-specific.

## Pricing changes and invoices

Quotes are calculated by the server from the current pricing version. Browser-supplied prices, discounts, capacity, and credits are never authoritative. A completed purchase keeps an immutable pricing snapshot for billing and invoice history.
