Pricing & Credits

Every Tuteliq API call consumes credits. Credit costs vary by endpoint based on processing complexity. Your current balance and usage are always available through the dashboard and the API.

Per-endpoint costs

Core Safety

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`detectBullying`	2	Single text analysis
`detectUnsafe`	2	Single text analysis
`detectGrooming`	3 per 10 msgs	`ceil(messages / 10) × 3`, minimum 3

Fraud Detection

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`detectSocialEngineering`	2	Social engineering tactic detection
`detectAppFraud`	2	Fraudulent app/download detection
`detectRomanceScam`	2	Romance scam pattern detection
`detectMuleRecruitment`	2	Money mule recruitment detection

Safety Extended

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`detectGamblingHarm`	2	Gambling harm detection
`detectCoerciveControl`	2	Coercive control detection
`detectVulnerabilityExploitation`	2	Vulnerability exploitation + cross-endpoint modifier
`detectRadicalisation`	2	Radicalisation indicator detection
`detectDistressSignals`	2	Linguistic distress-signal patterns (loneliness, isolation, hopelessness)
`detectTFGBV`	2	Tech-facilitated gender-based violence detection

Multi-Endpoint Analysis

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`analyseMulti` (alias `/detection/multi`)	`1 + N`	Parallel fan-out discount. `1 base + 1 per endpoint`; 3 endpoints = 4 credits, 7 endpoints = 8 credits. Cheaper than calling endpoints individually because server-side execution is parallel — wall-clock cost doesn’t scale with N.

Analysis & Guidance

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`analyzeEmotions`	3 per 10 msgs	`ceil(messages / 10) × 3`, minimum 3
`getActionPlan`	9	Longer generation
`generateReport`	13	Structured output

Synthetic Content Detection

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`detectSyntheticContent`	2	Multi-signal forensic analysis (text path)

Verification

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`verifyAge` (liveness only)	10	Liveness detection + biometric estimation
`verifyAge` (full)	20	Document analysis + liveness + biometric estimation (Pro tier and above)
`verifyIdentity`	25	Document verification + liveness + face matching (Business tier and above)

Document Analysis

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`analyzeDocument`	Dynamic	`max(10, pages_analyzed × endpoint_count)` — minimum 10 credits

Document analysis uses per-page, per-endpoint pricing. Each page-endpoint combination costs 1 credit, with a minimum of 10 credits to cover extraction overhead. See Document Analysis for detailed examples.

Media Analysis

Endpoint	Credits	Notes
`analyzeVoice`	21+	Base 21 (first 60s) + 15 per extra minute
`analyzeImage`	7	Vision + OCR + analysis
`analyzeVideo`	95	Frame extraction + per-frame vision
Voice stream (per flush)	7	Real-time transcription + analysis
Video stream (per frame)	7	Per-frame vision analysis

For conversation-based endpoints (detectGrooming, analyzeEmotions), credits scale with message count. A 25-message conversation costs ceil(25 / 10) × 3 = 9 credits.For analyzeVoice, credits scale with audio duration. The base cost of 21 credits covers the first 60 seconds. Each additional minute adds 15 credits. Examples: 2 min = 36 credits, 5 min = 81 credits, 10 min = 156 credits.

Batch processing example

When submitting a batch of 500 text messages through detectUnsafe:

500 messages x 2 credits = 1,000 credits

For a batch of 200 messages through detectGrooming with 15 messages per conversation:

200 conversations x ceil(15 / 10) x 3 = 200 x 6 = 1,200 credits

Purchasing credits

Credits can be purchased from the Tuteliq Dashboard. Navigate to Billing > Purchase Credits to top up your balance. Plans include monthly credit allowances, with overage billing available for high-volume usage.

Tracking usage

Response body

Every API response includes a credits_used field showing the credits consumed by that request:

{
  "detected": true,
  "severity": 0.85,
  "confidence": 0.91,
  "risk_score": 0.87,
  "categories": [{ "tag": "AUTH_IMPERSONATION", "label": "Authority Impersonation", "confidence": 0.92 }],
  "credits_used": 2
}

Response header

Each response also includes the X-Credits-Remaining header with your current balance:

X-Credits-Remaining: 9472

Usage endpoints

Check your credit balance and historical usage programmatically via the Usage API:

const usage = await tuteliq.getUsage();
console.log(usage.credits_remaining);
console.log(usage.credits_used_today);

usage = client.get_usage()
print(usage.credits_remaining)
print(usage.credits_used_today)

curl https://api.tuteliq.ai/v1/usage \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Low-balance alerts

Configure low-balance notifications in the Dashboard under Settings > Alerts. You can set a credit threshold (e.g., 100 credits remaining) and receive email or webhook notifications before you run out.

What happens when credits run out

When your balance reaches zero, API requests return a 402 Payment Required error. Upgrade your plan or purchase additional credits from the Dashboard to resume service.
