VlunaAI is a credit-based pricing and monetization platform designed for AI agents and agentic applications. It addresses the challenge of unpredictable API costs and complex usage tracking by allowing developers to meter, gate, and monetize agent activity through a unified credit system. By abstracting diverse model and tool usage into credits, VlunaAI simplifies both pricing for end users and cost control for developers, ensuring that agent actions are authorized only when sufficient credits are available and halting activity instantly when limits are reached.
The platform offers real-time metering and gating, authorizing credits before tasks begin and tracking every token or tool call per user. This proactive approach prevents unexpected overages and provides granular cost-to-revenue intelligence, enabling developers to see profit margins on each user action. VlunaAI supports a range of pricing models, including free tiers, subscriptions, credit bundles, pay-as-you-go, and hybrid packages. Developers can define allowed features, resources, and time-based quotas per package, and adjust pricing or packages at any time via the dashboard without redeploying code.
VlunaAI integrates with Stripe for payment processing, handling metering, credit logic, and usage gating while Stripe processes transactions. It also features dynamic credit campaigns, such as signup bonuses, referral rewards, and retention incentives, which can be launched or adjusted without code. The platform can be managed programmatically through its SDK or via MCP (Model Context Protocol), which connects VlunaAI to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, allowing management of pricing, campaigns, and limits through conversational interfaces. Integration is streamlined with a two-call API pattern (authorize and commit), and there is a Claude Skill for direct integration with Claude Code, automating metering and gating logic.
VlunaAI is delivered as a service with a dashboard for configuration and monitoring, and offers a free tier with 50 credits, as well as paid plans such as Pro and Team, which provide higher monthly credit allowances. The platform is intended for developers and organizations building AI agents who require granular usage control, flexible monetization, and real-time cost management.
VlunaAI sits in PulseGate's Frameworks & SDKs category. Enabling developers to integrate billing and usage gating into AI agent applications via a Python SDK. It is built as an open-source project for AI application developers. VlunaAI is open source under the MIT License. It runs on the web and the command line.
It is developed by lapbay, and the product first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 18 commits in the last 90 days. Key capabilities include Billing API, usage metering, and agentic workflows.
