Credits, limits & billing basics

How Layer IQ billing works: free foundation accounts, per-asset enrichment metering, plan allowances vs. credits, what "limit reached" and "insufficient credits" mean, and monthly invoicing.

Layer IQ's foundation account is free, and enrichment is pay-per-use. Here's

how the pieces fit together.

Foundation: free

Importing assets, organizing cohorts, searching, filtering, and exporting —

all included at no cost, with no per-asset charges. Importing never consumes

credits or allowances.

Enrichment: metered per asset

When you enrich an asset, three things are checked:

  1. Feature access — your account has the enrichment type and lane enabled.

  2. Plan allowance — each enrichment type has a usage allowance in your plan. If you reach it, you'll see a limit reached message; raising your limit takes a quick conversation with us.

  3. Credits — enrichments draw from your credit balance. If your balance runs out, you'll see an insufficient credits message and can top up.

Those last two are different situations with different fixes — the message

you see tells you which one applies.

You're billed for outcomes, not attempts: verified-lane enrichments are only

charged when they return verified-grade results.

Trial credits

New accounts may include trial enrichment credits so you can see enrichment on

your own data before committing. Check your account's billing area for your

current balance.

Invoicing

Usage is collected monthly. Your invoice reflects your actual metered usage —

standard and verified enrichments are itemized separately.
