What MCP hosting costs: Free, Pay as you go, Pro and Business
Glxymesh MCP hosting prices in plain terms: what each plan includes, how usage and AI credits work, and when Pay as you go beats Pro.
In this post
- The four plans side by side
- Usage credit and AI credits
- Pay as you go, with an example
- Longer terms
You pay for two things on Glxymesh: running your tools (calls, compute and data) and AI work (Build with AI and Ada). Every plan includes some of both. Here's what each one gets you.
The plans side by side#
Prices are per month and exclude tax. Indian billing addresses pay in INR.
| Plan | What you get |
|---|---|
| Free: $0 | $1 usage credit, 5 AI credits, 10 hosted tools, 1 person |
| Pay as you go: $0 | Prepaid balance, 50 hosted tools, 1 person, no monthly fee |
| Pro: $89 (₹7,799) | $50 usage credit, 400 AI credits, 250 hosted tools, 3 people, updates from GitHub |
| Business: $199 (₹17,499) | $110 usage credit, 1,000 AI credits, 2,500 hosted tools, 10 people, Support desk |
| Limit | Free / Pay as you go / Pro / Business |
|---|---|
| Time per call | 10 s / 30 s / 60 s / 60 s |
| Memory per call | 256 MB / 1 GB / 1 GB / 2 GB |
| Calls per second | 5 / 20 / 50 / 200 |
Usage credit and AI credits#
- Usage credit pays for your tools' calls, compute and data. It resets each period.
- AI credits pay for Build with AI and Ada. Both share one pool, shown as one bar in Billing.
- Need more AI? Pro and Business can buy packs of 100 AI credits for $15 (₹1,299). Bought credits never expire.
Free stops when its included usage runs out. Pro and Business keep running past it, up to the spend cap you set in Billing.
Pay as you go#
No monthly fee. Top up a balance ($10, $25, $50 or $100, or any amount from $10) and spend it on usage and AI. Rates are 40% above Pro. When the balance hits zero, calls stop, so you're never billed by surprise. Paid balances never expire.
Longer terms#
Pro and Business can be paid for 3, 6 or 12 months. Usage and AI credits are pooled across the whole term, and the yearly term covers 13 months of service.
| Term | Pro / Business (USD) |
|---|---|
| Monthly | $89 / $199 |
| 3 months | $253 / $567 |
| 6 months | $480 / $1,074 |
| Yearly (13 months) | $1,068 / $2,388 |
