# Fees

> Understand what your App can charge, what Aomi charges you, and how each amount appears in Usage.

Aomi separates revenue from service charges. Your App can earn revenue from
priced tools and supported transaction outcomes. Aomi charges for managed
model usage and App hosting.

## How the fee model works

| Flow                | What it covers                                         | Who pays    | How it settles                |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------- | ----------------------------- |
| Tool fee            | A successful call to a priced App tool                 | User        | USDC through x402             |
| Outcome fee         | A percentage of value moved by a supported transaction | User        | In the signed transaction     |
| Managed model usage | Model inference funded by Aomi                         | App builder | Added to your Usage statement |
| App hosting         | Monthly hosting for an active App                      | App builder | Added to your Usage statement |

Tool fees and outcome fees produce revenue for your App. Managed model usage
and hosting are service charges.

## Credits

Aomi uses credits to price App tools and measure model usage.

**1 Aomi credit = \$0.01 USD.**

A tool priced at `100` credits costs the user `$1.00` after a successful call.
Failed and blocked calls do not create a tool fee.

## Tool fees

You set a flat price for each billable tool in `<app>.pricing.toml`. You also
name the wallet that should receive the revenue.

When a priced tool succeeds, Aomi records the fee for that user and
beneficiary. Aomi can combine small balances before requesting payment. The
user then pays the beneficiary directly in USDC through x402.

Aomi applies a **10% platform fee** to gross tool revenue. Your net revenue is
the remaining 90%.

## Outcome fees

An outcome fee charges a percentage of value moved by a supported onchain
action. You define the percentage in basis points. A rule with `bps = 30`
charges 0.30%.

Aomi adds the fee to the same smart-account transaction as the requested
action. The user reviews and signs both together. The fee uses the asset being
moved, so it does not require an x402 payment.

Aomi applies a **30% platform fee** to gross outcome-fee revenue. Your net
revenue is the remaining 70%.

<Note>
  Outcome fees apply only when Aomi can identify a supported transaction flow.
  Opaque contract calls do not produce an outcome fee.
</Note>

## Funding model usage

Aomi checks who provides the model key for each App request.

| Funding source    | Who pays the model provider | Charge from Aomi       |
| ----------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| App-provided key  | App builder                 | None                   |
| User-provided key | User                        | None                   |
| Aomi-managed key  | Aomi, then the App builder  | Provider cost plus 10% |

The selected model does not change when the funding source changes. If you use
your own provider key, the provider bills that account directly and Aomi does
not add a model charge.

## App hosting

Aomi charges **\$10 per active App each calendar month**. Hosting appears as a
service charge in Usage.

## Read your Usage statement

Open **Operate > Usage** in the Developer Platform to review your statement.

| Summary         | Meaning                                               |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Gross revenue   | Amount collected from users for your Apps             |
| Platform fees   | Aomi's share of App revenue                           |
| Service charges | Managed model usage and App hosting                   |
| Net             | Gross revenue minus platform fees and service charges |

Use the App filter to review one App. The entries table shows when each charge
or earning occurred.

## Worked examples

### User Usage view

Assume a user has a monthly allowance of `5,000` credits. During the statement
period, they use `3,814.827` credits across `245` model turns. The Usage page
reports `$38.15` of model usage after rounding to cents.

| Item              | Usage      | Amount due now |
| ----------------- | ---------- | -------------- |
| Model usage       | `$38.15`   | `$0.00`        |
| Priced tool calls | No charges | `$0.00`        |
| Outcome fees      | No charges | `$0.00`        |

The monthly allowance covers the complete `$38.15` model charge. The user has
about `1,185.173` credits left. No wallet payment is required for compute in
this period. Any future outcome fee would settle separately in the asset used
by the transaction.

### Builder Usage view

Assume a builder operates eight active Apps and uses `$0.65` of
Aomi-managed model access during the statement period. The Apps generate no
user revenue during that period.

| Statement item      | Calculation                      | Amount    |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------- |
| Gross revenue       | No user payments collected       | `$0.00`   |
| Platform fees       | No revenue share without revenue | `$0.00`   |
| App hosting         | `8 Apps x $10.00`                | `-$80.00` |
| Managed model usage | Provider cost plus markup        | `-$0.65`  |
| Net                 | `$0.00 - $0.00 - $80.65`         | `-$80.65` |

The negative net means the builder owes `$80.65` for service charges. If an
App uses its own model key, its provider usage does not add an Aomi model
charge.
