PromptQL Pricing in 2026: Plans, Limits and Real Costs
Playground is the best starting point for most people because it is free and includes a workspace for building multiplayer bots. Move to Team when a user needs more than the basic usage limit, and choose Enterprise only when you need single-tenant deployment or unlimited users.

PromptQL uses per-user pricing. Playground is free, Team gives each user a usage budget starting at $40 per user per month, Enterprise has a $1,000 per month minimum commit, and Custom uses contract pricing.
The Team amount is a usage budget, not a seat fee. Each paid Team user gets $40 of usage a month, billed as $10 each week, and usage is charged at cost with no margin during the introductory period. Unused credits roll over to the next week.

Add-ons, overages, and surprise costs
| Cost item | Trigger | Published amount | Billing behaviour |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLU usage | Bots consume tokens, running a VM runs, and built-in integrations like Exa, Gemini or XAI are used | Team usage is billed at cost with no margin during the introductory period: $10 buys $10 worth of tokens, VM runtime and any other billable usage | Usage is deducted from the user's budget; unused credits roll over to the next week |
| Higher-cost model choices | Choosing models with a higher OLU multiplier | Claude Fable 5 and GPT-6 Astra are 2x; GPT-5 Pro is 7.22x; GPT-5.2 Pro is 10.11x; GPT-5.4 Pro and GPT-5.5 Pro are 13.53x | The same token mix consumes more OLUs and uses the budget faster |
| Large-context billing on some models | Using GPT-5.5 above 272K context or Grok 4.5, Grok 4.6, or Grok 4.7 at 200K or more prompt tokens | GPT-5.5 is billed 2x in / 1.5x out; xAI doubles all rates at 200K or more | Usage increases when prompts are long |
| Connected Codex subscription | Using your own OpenAI Codex subscription under bring-your-own-model | $0 for usage on that connected model | Usage on every other model is deducted from the OLU budget as usual |
| Bots pausing at the limit | A Team user reaches their limit | Not published | Their bots pause until the budget resets or the plan is raised |

Frequently asked questions
- How does pricing work?
- Playground is a free workspace where you build bots and share them, within basic usage limits. On Team, every user starts free with a basic usage limit, and paid usage plans start at $40 per user per month, billed weekly as $10 per user per week. Enterprise is a $1,000 per month minimum commit with no limit on users and a single-tenant deployment. Custom covers BYOC, self-hosted and bring-your-own-model deployments.
- Is the per-user amount a seat fee or a usage budget?
- A usage budget. Each Team user on a paid plan gets $40 of usage a month, billed as $10 each week, and you can assign a higher plan to anyone who needs it in $40 per month increments. The budget is spent as that user's bots consume OLUs. Invoices are weekly, and unused credits roll over to the next week.
- What is an OLU?
- An Operational Language Unit (OLU) is PromptQL's normalized unit for AI usage. It combines input, output and cached tokens, then applies the selected model's multiplier, so usage across different token types and models can be measured in one unit. More complex or longer work generally consumes more OLUs.
- How do dollars map to OLUs?
- On Team, usage is billed at cost with no margin during the introductory period: $10 buys $10 worth of tokens, VM runtime and any other billable usage. Enterprise starts at $1,000 per month, fully allocated to usage, with OLU rates set by contract.
- Does the model I choose change how many OLUs I use?
- Yes. Your price per OLU is fixed by your plan or contract, while the model multiplier changes how many OLUs the model's token usage consumes. A 0.20× model uses one-fifth the OLUs of a 1.0× model for the same token mix.
- What's included in the OLU price?
- All model, infrastructure and sandbox-hosting charges. That covers the LLM tokens plus the orchestration and the isolated computer each bot runs on: VM, files, artifacts and schedules. There is no separate LLM pass-through or infrastructure bill.
- Can I bring my own Codex plan?
- Yes. Connect your own OpenAI Codex subscription under bring-your-own-model and PromptQL charges $0 for usage on that connected model. Usage on every other model is deducted from your OLU budget as usual.
- Can I set a spending limit?
- Yes. On Team, every user starts on the free tier with a basic usage limit, and you can move anyone to a paid plan from $40 a month ($10 a week), in $40 per month increments. When a user reaches their limit, their bots pause until the budget resets or you raise the plan. Enterprise sets per-user weekly limits with no cap on the number of users.
- How do I get started?
- Start on Playground: create a project, invite coworkers, connect your data and start a bot. Upgrade to Team when you need a bigger usage budget, or talk to us about Enterprise when you need dedicated infrastructure and organization-wide controls.
