Provider spend (~75–88% of Starter/Pro list price)
Credits settle OpenRouter, DataForSEO, and other metered calls at roughly cost + ~25% platform margin. Unused wallet balance stays yours. Heavy months: top up; light months: slower burn.
Each plan combines a usage wallet (1 credit = €0.01 toward OpenRouter, DataForSEO, and metered tools) with a workspace subscription for everything out of the box: ninety-plus SEO tools, OAuth for Google, Content Wizard, Report Canvas, flows, and hosted runtime. You pick economy or recommended models per task; GSC and GA4 do not add marginal wallet cost.
Sticker shock usually comes from mixing those two lines. Visioant is not “unlimited AI for €149.” It is metered APIs you would pay anyway, plus a fixed workspace fee that would take a team months to replicate in an IDE.

GSC/GA4 OAuth, tool registry, intent routing, SSE jobs, org billing, saved chats, flows, skills, Content Wizard, and Report Canvas, maintained on Cloud Run/SQL instead of your backlog.
Economy tool-calling models often land ~€0.02–0.06 per agent turn from the wallet. Reserve recommended models for audits and synthesis. The calculator below uses live OpenRouter prices.
Starter €49/mo illustrated split
Professional and Agency follow the same pattern: most of list price maps to spendable credits; the rest is seats, modules, and ops.
An AI coding assistant can scaffold MCP scripts and rules files quickly. Shipping production SEO operations still means OAuth, settlement, ninety-plus handlers, long-running jobs, team state, and UX for operators. That is weeks to quarters of engineering before you pay a single API bill.
| Build in-house (illustrative) | Visioant (illustrative) | |
|---|---|---|
| Up-front product work | Often tens of thousands in eng time to match core kit, CE, canvas, wallet, and runtime (even with AI-assisted coding) | €0 build; workspace included in subscription |
| Monthly API spend | OpenRouter + DataForSEO + GCP (you operate billing and alerts) | Same providers, via org wallet with 402 gates and per-call logs |
| Ongoing maintenance | Your team owns API drift, MCP breaks, model swaps, and on-call | Platform updates, tool contracts, and routing maintained for you |
| Typical year-one cash (small team) | Build cost + APIs + engineer maintenance (highly variable) | Plan subscription + wallet usage; e.g. Professional ≈ €1.8k/yr list + APIs you would spend either way |

Custom limits & invoicing
Estimate wallet spend for agent use cases (tool loops included in token profiles). Capability scores use OpenRouter’s live agentic index (Artificial Analysis). The model list includes only tool-calling models, the same constraint as the in-app Economy picker.
How credits, wallets, value vs building in-house, and the live calculator relate to real spend.
Because Visioant is a hosted product, not a prepaid API gift card. Most of each tier is wallet balance; the remainder covers seats, modules, Google OAuth infrastructure, settlement, observability, and ongoing maintenance of ninety-plus tools. You still pay OpenRouter/DataForSEO roughly what you would direct; the workspace fee replaces build-and-maintain cost.
Assistants reduce the cost of writing code, not operating a product. Matching Visioant means OAuth, wallet settlement, Content Wizard, Report Canvas, flows, skills, SSE long jobs, and a governed tool catalog, then keeping it working as vendors change. Teams often spend more in engineer time and the same API bills than in a Professional plan plus wallet. Visioant is the buy path when you want that stack day one.
1 credit = €0.01 of wallet balance. Display credits are EUR × 100. Provider costs settle into the org wallet with platform margin.
Roughly 20–30% on wallet spend covers Cloud Run/SQL, PostHog, encryption, and product maintenance, separate from raw OpenRouter / DataForSEO fees.
Yes. The in-app model switcher lets you pick recommended or economy OpenRouter presets per task. Cheaper tool-calling models burn fewer credits; use them for exploration and GSC pulls, recommended tier for heavy synthesis.
It uses live OpenRouter price tables plus Artificial Analysis agentic benchmarks (via OpenRouter). Token/tool assumptions are planning midpoints; actual runs vary with tool fan-out and context size.
