Turn AI usage into revenue

Your users buy AI credits inside your product and pay through your own Stripe account. Rixi keeps their balances and records every purchase.

Rather include AI in your plans? You can do that too.

Who pays for AI

Charge for AI the way your product works

Let your users buy credits, include AI in your plans, combine both, or skip credits and just run the AI. Rixi manages it either way.

User-funded

Your users buy credits

They pay for the AI they use, right inside your product, through your own Stripe account.

  • Payments go straight to your Stripe account
  • Credits added the moment a payment clears
  • Every purchase recorded per user

FAQ

Monetization, answered

Who buys the credits?

Your users, inside your product. They pay through your own Stripe account, so the money goes straight to you.

How much of a purchase do I keep?

All of it. Payments land in your Stripe account. Your Rixi plan and any open-source model usage through Rixi are billed separately, and the Console shows your margin after AI cost.

Can I set my own credit prices?

Yes. You choose the packs and their prices, and the Console shows the margin each one makes at your current AI cost.

When do I get paid?

Stripe pays you on your usual Stripe schedule. Rixi never holds your money.

Do I need to build checkout?

No. The purchase components take payment through your Stripe account and update the balance when it clears.

Can I include AI in my plans instead?

Yes. Prepay a balance and give each user a monthly allowance, or combine allowances with purchases.

Where do my users get help with a purchase?

From you, like any other payment in your product. The Console shows each user’s purchase history to help you answer.
