Billing and Payments - Kore.ai Docs

Plan and Usage lets you monitor billing, track app usage, manage subscriptions, and access invoices — all from a single location. To access it, navigate to Product Switcher > Billing > Manage > Plan and Usage.

Plans

The platform offers the following plans:

Plan	Description
Essential	Core features to get started building an AI chatbot.
Advanced	Everything in Essential, plus higher limits and more advanced features.
Enterprise	Everything in Advanced, plus enterprise features, custom pricing, and the highest limits.

How Billing Works

Billing is calculated differently depending on the product.

Automation AI

Billed per 15-minute billing session of user conversation.
Example: A 31-minute conversation = 3 sessions (0-15 min, 16-30 min, 31-end).
Sessions are tracked per app. In dynamic routing, the Parent app has its own sessions; sessions routed to a linked app are attributed to that linked app only.

Search AI

Included in Automation AI; uses the same 15-minute billing session.
Enterprise users can ingest up to 1 GB of data by default, with an additional 1% allowance. Contract-specific limits override this default.

Contact Center AI

Billed per agent seat:

Seat Type	How It’s Counted
Named Seats	One seat per agent, regardless of shifts. 100 agents across 3 shifts = 100 seats.
Concurrent Seats	Based on the maximum number of agents logged in simultaneously. 50 agents per shift across 3 shifts = 50 seats.

Agent AI

Billed per agent seat, same as Contact Center AI.

Add-ons

Billed separately from the base plan.

Plan Information

The Plan Information section shows your current plan and product usage. You can upgrade or modify your plan directly from here.

Usage Trends

The Usage Trends dashboard provides a consolidated view of billing data across all your apps, such as Automation AI, Contact Center AI, Agent AI, Search AI, SmartAssist, and Voice Gateway. Filtering options:

Filter by individual app.
Select a predefined range: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days.
Set a custom date range.

The dashboard lets you fetch billings for specific dates and timezones by selecting the date (beyond 7 days or custom), then Apply and select timezone from the dropdown. By default, the system displays UTC +5:30. The dashboard also displays monthly bar graph labels by displaying periods in YYYY format.

Payment Methods

The following payment methods are available when adding funds.

PayPal

Link your PayPal email account to the platform’s payment gateway.

Credit / Debit Card

Enter your card number, account holder name, expiry date, and CVV. Confirm with an OTP.

Wire Transfer

Transfers funds directly from one bank account to another.

Important notes for wire transfers:

When you place a wire transfer order, it’s registered with a pending payment clearance status. You receive an email from Paypro with steps to complete the transfer.
Wire transfers take 4-8 business days. The Platform loads the paid credits after a successful wire transfer. If your balance is low and your wire transfer is pending, add funds using an alternative method (credit card or PayPal).

Navigate to Manage > Plan & Usage.
In Plan Information, click Subscribe (for a new plan) or Modify (to change your current plan).
Select a plan and click Proceed and Modify.
Enter your Billing Information, select a Payment Method, and enter payment details.
Click SUBMIT ORDER.
