Launch and Pro converge at 49 MB/mo (~544 messages/day at 3 KB avg). Below the line Launch is cheaper; above it, Pro is. Pro is a seed-phase SubscriptionManager contract layer — scoped, not shipped. Enterprise tier kicks in around 1 GB/mo.

How it bills

USDC settles over x402 on Base mainnet (eip155:8453), from the agent's wallet to the BYTEDev Safe. No API keys, no recurring invoices. Subscription tiers layer a monthly USDC allowance on top of the same per-byte primitive.

For human developers

Subscriptions are for devs budgeting an agent fleet — lock a monthly USDC allowance, your agents draw against it. Individual agent flows stay metered and credentialless. The human handles the budget; the agents handle the data.
