Pawa AI accounts support two payment types. You can start on either one and switch between them on the fly—your projects, API keys, bots, knowledge bases, and other data stay intact.
Switching payment type does not delete or reset your account data. Click switch, and your account updates immediately.

Payment Types

Subscription

Fixed monthly or annual billing with STARTER, PRO, or ENTERPRISE plans. Predictable costs, and one month free when you subscribe. Best if you want a set plan and recurring billing.

Pay as you go

Credit-based billing. You get $3 free credits on sign up (Tier One). Top up anytime—your tier unlocks based on your credit balance (Tier One through Tier Four). Best if you want flexible spend that grows with you.
