⏱️Charged per session

— How billing works

Simple, honest metering.

No surprises. You see your balance in the top bar at all times, and every charge maps to a session you started.

⏱️

Charged up front, per session

When you start a session, the flat price for that length is debited once. Talk the whole time or stop early — the rate is fixed before you begin.

↩️

Auto-refund on a bad start

If a session drops in the first few seconds — a hiccup, a lost connection — we detect it server-side and refund the full amount automatically.

🔒

One live session at a time

Your credit can only fund one active coach at once. No accidental double-charges from a stray tab left open in the background.

🧠

Memory you choose

Standard keeps the last few minutes in context. Real remembers nearly the whole conversation — priced higher because it costs more to run.

— Questions

Good to know.

Is there a subscription?

No. StageAI is pure pay-as-you-go. You add credit to your balance and spend it by the minute. There are no monthly fees, seats, or auto-renewals.

What's the difference between Standard and Real memory?

Standard remembers roughly the last few minutes of your session — perfect for focused drills. Real keeps nearly the entire conversation in context, so the coach can track your progress across the whole session. Real costs more because it uses a much larger context window.

What happens if my connection drops?

If a session ends within the first few seconds — before you've really had a chance to talk — the system refunds the full charge automatically. You don't have to email anyone. For drops later in a session, the minutes you booked are yours regardless.

Why do scenarios cost more than accent drills?

Performance and scenario coaches run richer, more demanding models to stay in character and respond to high-pressure roleplay. Accent and language drills use a leaner configuration, so they're priced far lower per minute.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. New accounts get $2 in free credit on signup — enough for plenty of standard sessions — with no card required.
