In an exported worker, spend comes from its AI steps, fan-outs and loops. Rule and
set-state steps cost almost nothing because they never invoke a model. Ahead of any
build, the Studio's cost view prices each step from assumed token counts against a
curated price list, per run, per case and per month. It also flags AI steps a plain rule
could replace.
Each step can use its own model, with fallbacks and cheaper or stronger tiers you
choose; local models record zero cost. Optional limits
cap steps and time per run, though no token or dollar cap exists. Repeat decisions
can move to the Cognitive Engine, which is sold separately and is not part of Nx·Studio workers.
The exported code contains no runtime license or usage meter, so volume moves only
your own hosting and AI-provider bills. Each run records its token and cost totals
for your own reporting.
Our pricing follows the architecture. We are paid for design and delivery, never per
call. A usage-billed vendor gains as your dependence grows; we gain when your team can
run the code without us. Support after hand-over is optional, on terms you set.
