How it works
Straightforward by design
Lectr's pricing model has three parts. No hidden fees, no usage caps that cut traffic, no complicated tiers.
Monthly base fee
Each plan starts with a flat monthly fee that covers a set amount of traffic. No per-seat fees. No per-request fees.
Included traffic
Your plan's included GB covers all data processed through Lectr — request bodies sent to your AI provider and responses returned to your app.
Overage, if needed
If you exceed your included amount, overage is billed at your plan's per-GB rate. Traffic is never cut off — you pay for what you use.
What counts as a GB? The combined size of the request body sent to your AI provider (including the full prompt, system message, and parameters) and the response body returned to your application. For streaming responses, the full streamed payload is counted when the response completes.
