Scout billing has two parts: your plan, which sets the features and usage limits available to your organization, and Agent usage, which is metered on the underlying LLM cost of the work your agents do. This page explains both so you can predict and understand your bill.

​
Plans

Scout offers a Free plan to get started and a Scale plan for teams that need higher limits and dedicated support. Current plan pricing and limits are shown on scoutos.com/pricing.

Free

$0/month. Try Scout and build with the full platform on a single seat with starter limits.

Scale

Custom pricing. Higher and custom limits, unlimited seats, and dedicated support with an SLA. Talk with a Scout engineer.

​
Plan Limits

The Free plan includes a fixed set of limits. Scale plans are customized per workspace to fit the scale and support your team needs.

Plan pricing and limits on scoutos.com/pricing are the source of truth. If a limit on your account differs, it reflects a custom Scale agreement.

​
Agent Pricing

Agent usage is billed on the underlying LLM cost of the work your agents do, plus a 5% platform fee. There is no flat per-agent or per-message fee for this usage — you pay for the tokens your agents actually consume.
Billed Agent cost = provider LLM cost × 1.05
The underlying LLM cost is the amount charged by the model provider (for example, OpenAI or Anthropic) for the input and output tokens processed on a given run. Scout meters this usage per model and applies a 5% markup to arrive at the amount billed to you. Because pricing is metered on real token usage, your Agent cost scales with:
  • How often your agents run — more runs mean more tokens processed.
  • Which model each agent uses — providers charge different rates per model. See Model Management to control which models your team can use.
  • How much context each run processes — longer instructions, larger inputs, and more tool output all increase token counts.

​
Example

Suppose an agent run processes tokens that cost $0.40 at the model provider’s published rates. Scout applies the 5% platform fee: 
Provider LLM cost:   $0.40
Platform fee (5%):   $0.02
Billed Agent cost:   $0.42
Your bill for that run is $0.42. The same run on a lower-cost model would cost proportionally less, since the fee is always 5% of the underlying LLM cost.

​
How Usage Becomes Your Bill

Your final billed amount combines the two parts of Scout billing:
1

Plan

Your plan sets your features and usage limits. The Free plan is $0/month; Scale pricing is agreed with the Scout team.
2

Agent usage

Scout meters the underlying LLM cost of your agent runs per model and adds the 5% platform fee.
3

Final amount

Your bill is your plan cost plus metered Agent usage for the period.

​
Plan Limits and Agent Usage

Plan limits and Agent usage pricing are separate. Limits such as agent messages, workflow runs, and storage govern what your plan allows; Agent pricing meters the LLM cost of the work that runs within those limits. Metered Agent usage is billed in addition to your plan. To keep Agent costs predictable, use Model Management to restrict your organization to approved, cost-efficient models and set a sensible org-wide default.
