Managing Your AI Agent Budget
Managing Your AI Agent Budget
1. AI Agent Pricing Explained
Recruitly AI Agents operate on a flexible credit-based pricing model, allowing you to pay for what you use. Each action an AI Agent performs — such as enriching profiles, finding emails or LinkedIn URLs — consumes a specific number of credits. Pricing is transparent, with a detailed breakdown available here.
Key highlights:
-
Pay-as-you-go: Only pay for the actions your AI Agents perform.
-
Action-based pricing: Different actions cost different credits. Here's an example of what the pricing for the data management agent looks like:
-
No hidden charges: All usage is tracked and reflected in real-time.

4. Budget Allocation for Each Agent
Recruitly gives you full control over your AI spending by allowing you to assign budgets to each AI Agent individually. You can select any agent to configure, set monthly budget caps, and define daily usage limits to manage consumption effectively. Credits can be distributed proportionally across agents, ensuring your most critical agents are always well-funded while maintaining overall budget discipline.
