Pricing

Docubat uses a simple, transparent credit-based pricing model. You only pay for the audits you run, with no monthly fees or hidden costs.

How Pricing Works​

Credit-Based System​

  • Pay per audit run: Each audit consumes credits based on the combinations tested
  • No monthly fees: Only pay for what you use

Audit Cost Calculation​

Each audit's cost depends on:

  • Number of programming languages tested
  • Number of AI models tested

Cost Formula: Languages × Models × Base Cost = Total Credits

Understanding Audit Costs​

What Counts as an "Audit Run"?​

An audit run is one combination of:

  • 1 programming language
  • 1 AI model
  • 1 task execution

Example Scenarios​

Scenario 1: Simple API Test​

  • Task: "Create a user via our API"
  • Languages: Python, JavaScript (2 languages)
  • Models: GPT-4, Claude (2 models)
  • Total Runs: 2 × 2 = 4 audit runs
  • Basic Cost: 4 × $0.35 = $1.40
  • Pro Cost: 4 × $0.25 = $1.00

Scenario 2: Comprehensive SDK Test​

  • Task: "Initialize SDK and send a message"
  • Languages: Python, JavaScript, Java, Go (4 languages)
  • Models: GPT-4, Claude, GPT-3.5 (3 models)
  • Total Runs: 4 × 3 = 12 audit runs
  • Basic Cost: 12 × $0.35 = $4.20
  • Pro Cost: 12 × $0.25 = $3.00

Scenario 3: Multi-Language Documentation Audit​

  • Task: "Complete quickstart tutorial"
  • Languages: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, C# (6 languages)
  • Models: GPT-4, Claude (2 models)
  • Total Runs: 6 × 2 = 12 audit runs
  • Basic Cost: 12 × $0.35 = $4.20
  • Pro Cost: 12 × $0.25 = $3.00

Cost Optimization Tips​

Start Small​

  • Begin with 2-3 core languages and 2 AI models
  • Expand coverage after validating your approach
  • Group related tasks into comprehensive audits
  • Test multiple aspects of the same documentation area together

Focus on High-Impact Languages​

  • Prioritize languages your developers actually use
  • Don't test every possible language combination

Use Scheduled Audits Wisely​

  • Set up regular audits for critical documentation
  • Use manual audits for experimental or one-off testing

Frequently Asked Questions​

Do credits expire?​

No, purchased credits never expire. Use them at your own pace.

Can I get a refund for unused credits?​

How do I track my usage?​

The console dashboard shows real-time credit balance and detailed usage history.

What happens if I run out of credits?​

Audits will fail to run. You'll receive notifications before running out and can add credits instantly.

Do failed audits consume credits?​

Yes, failed audits still consume credits as they require AI model usage and compute resources.

Can I estimate costs before running an audit?​

Yes, the console shows estimated costs based on your configuration before you run the audit.

Is there a free trial?​

New accounts receive $5 in free credits, enough for 14+ basic audit runs.
