Billing & Usage
This page covers how billing works for River accounts. For pricing tiers, see Pricing & Plans.
How River charges#
River bills two things:
- Subscription — a flat monthly fee per plan (Basic, Standard, Premium)
- AI usage — metered consumption of AI models, against a monthly budget that resets each cycle
Beyond your plan's included AI budget, you can switch to Pay As You Go to keep using AI at the same public rates with no monthly fee — or upgrade to a higher plan with a larger budget.
Plans#
| Plan | Price | AI budget |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Starter only |
| Pay As You Go | $0/mo | Pay only for what you use |
| Basic | $14/mo | $15 AI/mo |
| Standard | $36/mo | $45 AI/mo |
| Premium | $100/mo | $140 AI/mo |
All paid plans support unlimited team members. There is no per-seat charge; the team shares the org's AI budget.
What's metered#
| Resource | Rate (public) |
|---|---|
| Fastest text model | $1.50 input / $7.50 output per 1M tokens |
| Expert text model | $7.50 / $37.50 per 1M tokens |
| Genius text model | $12.50 / $62.50 per 1M tokens |
| Uncensored text model | $0.50 / $1.25 per 1M tokens |
| Standard image | $0.133 per image |
| HD image | $0.528 per image |
| Uncensored image | $0.125 per image |

What happens when you hit the cap#
Your plan's monthly AI budget resets on your billing date. If you exceed it:
- Pay As You Go — switches automatically (if enabled), continues at public rates
- Upgrade — bump the plan up; the new budget takes effect immediately
- Stop — AI calls pause until your next reset date; the workspace keeps working
The system never silently downgrades quality. It either bills you at the same rate or stops new calls.
Org-level vs. user-level#
For teams, billing happens at the Org level. The Org owns the plan; the AI budget is shared by all members. Usage shows up in the Admin Dashboard split by user, by Agent, and by Workflow.
For individual users without an Org, billing is on your personal account.

Tips#
- Watch the Admin Dashboard's usage graph in your first month — it usually identifies the right plan within two weeks.
- Power users often run on Pay As You Go because they prefer paying actual usage to a flat fee.
- Self-hosted with local Ollama is the most cost-efficient path for teams with significant AI consumption — flat hardware cost instead of per-token billing.
