Example Calculation
For a swarm with 3 agents, 500,000 input tokens, 200,000 output tokens, and 2 images (standard tier):
Agent cost: 3 × $0.01 = $0.03
Input token cost: 0.5 × $3.00 = $1.50
Output token cost: 0.2 × $15.00 = $3.00
Image cost: 2 × $0.25 = $0.50
Total: $0.03 + $1.50 + $3.00 + $0.50 = $5.03
Deductions
Credits are deducted from your account for each API call based on the above rates.
Free credits are used first, then regular credits.
