# Pricing and Usage

Understanding Automateo's pricing structure and usage limits is important for managing your costs effectively.

1. **Monthly Plans**
   * Automateo offers various monthly plans
   * Each plan comes with a maximum usage allowance
   * Allowances are measured in workflow executions, number of Premium AI calls and number of Standard AI calls
2. **Exceeding Allowances**
   * Once you've used your monthly allowance, you have two options:
     1. Upgrade to a higher tier plan
     2. Continue using Automateo with your own API keys for supported services
3. **Using Your Own API Keys**
   * Add API keys for OpenAI, Together AI, or Fireworks AI
   * Charges for usage will go directly to your accounts with these services
   * Automateo does not charge additional fees when using your own keys
4. **Usage Monitoring**
   * Monitor your usage through the Automateo dashboard
   * Set up alerts on AI provider services for when you're approaching your usage limits
5. **Cost Optimization**
   * Use the execution history to identify high-cost workflows

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.automateo.app/pricing-and-usage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
