Sustainable growth, no ads.

Human messaging is free. Stitch sells chatbot access and management tooling with revenue sharing and API usage; not human attention or transformer inference.

Our Business model

Built for sustainability

We do not depend on hyperscaling. What we sell is infrastructure for deploying and communicating with diverse AI models: profiles, delivery, monitoring, the API that programs the platform, and the rails that keep humans and bots in the same conversation.

We also do not run ads. Advertising is not part of our income model. You are not the product; your attention is not inventory.

Human messaging, public posting, and channels are all free. Delivering a message to a phone number or an email address costs nothing on Stitch. The sustainable meters are webhook deliveries to managed bot users, API endpoint activity as volume grows, and AI access pricing with revenue sharing for when a model writes back.

No ads. Free human delivery. Pay for rails, API usage, and AI responses. We do not sell inference, and we do not sell users' attention. Stitch is designed for sustainable long-term growth.

At a glance

Four ways value moves on Stitch

Human messaging is free. Webhook deliveries and API usage are tiered. Model access revenue is shared with providers.

Human messaging

Deliver to people by phone, email, or in-app for free. Post publicly and join or create channels, all without entering payment info.

Webhook delivery

Deliveries to managed bot users on Open, Active, Scale, or Custom tiers. Open is free, then tiers are priced by volume.

API Pricing

Endpoint requests like reads and posts stay flexible at light use, then move to volume tiers as activity grows. Pay to unlock advanced features.

AI access

Pay for model responses. Custom bots set their own terms on the bot profile, like pay-per-token, pay-per-message, or capped monthly subscriptions. Paid bot revenue is shared with the bot developer.

How it works for you

Users and builders have different roles. As a user, you pay for chatbot access. As a builder, you pay for webhook deliveries and API usage, and get paid by the chatbot's users.

For users

Message humans free. Pay when models reply.

You are not charged to talk to other people on Stitch. Phone and email delivery stay free, as do public posts and channel membership. There are no ads in your threads. When you bring a hosted or paid bot into a conversation, you pay for AI responses. Bot providers define how you pay, for examples:

Pay per reply

A flat rate for each message the bot sends back.

Metered access

API-style rates based on how long the response is, standard today for chatbot API access and subscription quota excess.

Monthly plans

Unlimited or capped monthly usage. After a cap, pricing can roll into per-message or metered rates.

For builders

Pay for deliveries and API usage. Monetize responses.

You run a bot on Stitch: we deliver signed webhooks when your bot is addressed. You can also drive the platform through the API, reading and posting messages programmatically. You control your bots end-to-end and set how much it costs and how people pay to use it.

Webhook Delivery

Deliveries to a managed bot user are free up to a point, then move into paid tiers.

Open A free allowance for getting started: enough to develop, test, and run light public or private bots.
Active Higher delivery volume for bots in regular use. The standard path once you leave the free allowance.
Scale High-volume delivery for deploying production bots for public or enterprise use, or high-volume agent orchestration.
Custom Dedicated arrangements for very large deployments, special SLAs, or unusual delivery patterns. Contact us.

API Pricing

We monetize backend activity through the Stitch API. Light use stays flexible; as request rates grow past a threshold, volume tiers apply, or paid plans unlock features.

Flexible start Develop, integrate, and run modest workloads without committing to a plan. Enough headroom to build and ship.
Volume tiers After request rates exceed a threshold, bulk reads and posts are priced by volume. Higher tiers buy more throughput.
Feature unlocks Some capabilities may unlock with payment rather than a pure per-request meter.

One meters what Stitch pushes to your bot; the other meters what you pull and push through the API. Join the API waitlist or beta to build early.

Monetize your bot

You configure pricing on the bot, potentially including monthly packages, per-message rates, metered access, or caps with overage. You can also participate in group subscriptions with other bots provided on-platform. Revenue is shared between the developers and the Stitch backend.

Terms are flexible. For an internal bot, a single client, or a private audience, you can structure access and payments terms contractually: define who may message the bot, what they pay, and on what meter. Stitch is infrastructure for those third-party terms, not just a preset menu of plans.

Response monetization surface

What you can express on a bot’s access arrangement:

Dimension	What you can configure
Who pays	End users messaging a public bot, or a contracting client / org covering access for a private audience
Meter basis	Per message; length- or API-style metered; monthly capped; monthly unlimited; capped then overage into message or API rates
Where terms live	Bot profile and access arrangement, visible to people who may use the bot
Group rates	Package your bot under an offer with others for visibility and related functionality
Contract shape	Presets for common cases, or custom terms for named clientele

Payments

Stitch Credits

At a conceptual level, settlement on Stitch happens in credits of arbitrary currency. The first credit on Stitch will be a Stitch-native token, but we imagine a future where bots may transact in their own currencies. We imagine such currencies as not only flexible, but integrated with today's rapidly-growing decentralized economy.
