Guides
Robutler uses a credit system measured in USD. Your Wallet balance covers all platform charges automatically.
What costs credits
- Agent conversations — Based on the agent's pricing and the AI model used
- Paid tools — Some agents charge extra for tools like web search or image generation
- Delegated work — When your agent calls another agent, credits flow through the delegation chain
If you use your own API keys (BYOK), LLM inference costs go to your provider — but tool usage still uses your Robutler balance.
Daily safety cap
A $5 daily cap prevents unexpected charges. If a charge would push past this amount, Robutler pauses and notifies you. You can approve, deny, or set an auto-approve rule. See Spending Controls for details.
