FirstQuadrant operates on a flexible credits-based pricing system. Credits are used to power various AI-driven features and automation throughout the platform. The way credits are allocated and consumed depends on your billing plan.

​
Why FirstQuadrant uses a credit-based pricing model

Credit-based pricing lets FirstQuadrant align cost with real usage and outcomes, not headcount.
  • No per-seat pricing: We want everyone on your team using the platform. The more inboxes connected, the better the AI performs.
  • Aligned incentives: You pay for outcomes, not access. FirstQuadrant only benefits when you use the product to drive real results.
  • Flexible structure: Monthly plans are predictable; annual plans allow unused credits to roll over.

​
Monthly vs. annual plans

​
Monthly plans

  • You receive a fixed number of credits each month.
  • Unused credits do not roll over—they expire at the end of each billing cycle.

​
Annual plans

  • You receive a fixed number of credits each month, just like with monthly plans.
  • Unused credits roll over—they accumulate month-to-month for the duration of your subscription.
Info If you’re on the Scaleup plan, you get unlimited seats—so your entire team can use FirstQuadrant without additional per-user costs.

​
Unlimited users with the ScaleUp plan

With the ScaleUp plan, you can add unlimited users to your FirstQuadrant workspace at no additional cost. There are no per-seat or per-user fees—inviting more team members is completely free. This means you can bring your entire team onboard, collaborate seamlessly, and maximize the value of FirstQuadrant without worrying about extra charges for each user you add.
  • Unlimited seats: Add as many users as you need—no restrictions.
  • No extra cost: You only pay for your plan and AI credit usage, not for the number of users.
  • Team collaboration: Empower everyone on your team to use FirstQuadrant’s features and AI-driven automation.
