Pricing Explained
MeetAI offers subscription plans and Pay As You Go (PAYGO) options.
What Are Coins?
Coins are the currency for PAYGO usage.
Coin values:
Free Coins for New Users
Every new account gets 75 free coins to start.
What 75 coins gets you:
Reveal 75 profiles, OR
Run 3 interviews (72 coins) + reveal 3 profiles, OR
Post 0.9 jobs (need to add 5 more coins), OR
Mix and match
Test the platform before committing to a plan.
Subscription Plans
Monthly plans with included allowances.

As You Go (PAYGO)
No monthly fee. Pay only for what you use.
How it works:
Buy coins in increments (min 20 coins = $10)
Use coins for any product
Top up as needed
Pricing:
Reveal profile: 1 coin ($0.50)
Post job: 80 coins ($40)
Run interview: 24 coins ($12)
Best for:
Testing before committing
Sporadic hiring needs
Low-volume recruiting
Supplementing subscription overages
Coins never expire.
When to Use Subscription vs PAYGO
Use Subscription if:
You hire consistently
You have multiple recruiters
You need team collaboration
You want predictable costs
You need ATS integration
Use PAYGO if:
You hire occasionally
You're a solo recruiter
You want flexibility
You're testing MeetAI first
Cost Comparison Example
Scenario: Hiring 10 candidates/month
PAYGO costs:
50 profile reveals: 50 coins = $25
10 interviews: 240 coins = $120
2 job posts: 160 coins = $80
Total: 450 coins = $225/month
Starter Plan:
Includes: 100 profiles, 5 jobs, 30 interviews
Cost: $390/month
Need to add 1 job (80 coins = $40)
Total: $430/month
But you get: Email templates, better support, team features
Pro Plan:
Includes: 300 profiles, 10 jobs, 100 interviews
Cost: $890/month
Everything included, no overages
Plus: 3 seats, custom reports, MCP integration
Recommendation: If hiring 10+ candidates/month consistently → Pro Plan

Overage Handling
What happens when you hit your limit:
Subscription plans:
Auto-charges extra usage at per-unit rate
Example: Pro plan hits 300 profiles → next profile costs $0.50

Transaction declines if insufficient coins
Prompt to top up
Upgrade option: System suggests upgrading if overage costs exceed next plan tier.
