# The platform meter

> One account, pay-as-you-go: what the platform records, where you read it, and what happens when the balance runs out.

The platform bills your Noorle account for what your agents consume, as they
consume it. One balance sits behind everything you run — every agent, every
gateway, every workflow. There is no per-seat charge, so the size of your team
is not an input to the bill.

[noorle.com/pricing](https://noorle.com/pricing/) is the rate card. Rates are
not repeated here: one published place means one thing to keep current.

## What gets recorded

Every billable call writes a usage event carrying what the service was, how many
units it used, and what produced it.

Model spend is priced per model **and per route** — the same model reached a
different way can carry different rates — with fresh input, cached input,
cache-write input, and output metered as separate line items. Everything else
meters on its own unit: per request, per second, per query, per hour, per
GB-day.

[Usage and limits](/docs/run/platform/usage-and-limits) has the detail.

## Where you read it

**Usage & Billing** in the Portal, a month at a time: balance, free credits,
current-month spend, spending cap, workspace and knowledge storage, top
services, top capabilities, daily spend, and recent monthly statements.

## When the balance runs out

The balance and the spending cap are enforced at the moment a run or an MCP
request allocates its budget. An agent run with no budget available does not
start; an MCP request with none is rejected with **402 Payment Required**.

That is worth planning around if what you sell runs unattended: the stop lands
on the next call, not at the end of a billing period.

## What you charge

The meter measures your account's consumption. The price of the thing you sell
is a separate decision, made by you and set outside the platform.
