Overage rates
One rate card. The same on every plan.
You pay an overage only for the part above your plan allowance.
| Usage | How it is measured | Overage |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts | Charged daily from that day's stored count | $0.002 each |
| Storage | Charged daily from that day's GB, including converted video renditions | $0.10 per GB |
| Platform emails | Sent during the month | $0.0006 each |
| Messages | Sent during the month | $0.0004 each |
| Video viewing | Viewer-hours during the month | $0.10 per viewer-hour |
| Webinar viewing through AXL stream | Viewer-hours streamed through AXL during the month | $0.15 per viewer-hour |
| Active admins | Charged daily from that day's active non-agent seats | $15 per active admin/month |
| AI credits | Credits used during the month | $0.01 per credit |
The formula is simple: plan fee plus each positive difference between your usage and the included amount, multiplied by that usage rate.

After the limit
A limit can mean overage, an automatic upgrade or a sales call.
AXL publishes the overage. Other platforms may sell an add-on, charge usage fees or move the account to a higher or custom plan.
| Platform | Entry price | Included at entry | Fee on sales | After the limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AXL | $49/mo Starter | 5,000 included | 0% | Public overage; a larger plan only when it lowers the total |
| Kajabi | $69/mo | 250 | 0% on Kajabi Payments; 5% to 0.5% by plan with your own processor | Add 5,000 contacts for $25/mo, or upgrade |
| Teachable | $39/mo | 100 active students | 7.5% on Starter | Usage fees can apply unless native sales exceed $10k/year; Custom is contact sales |
| Kartra | $59/mo | 500 contacts | 5% on the entry tier | Automatic tier upgrade with a mid-cycle fee; Enterprise supports up to 250,000 contacts |
| Skool | $9/mo | Unlimited members | 10% Hobby; Pro starts at 2.9% | No member cliff; plan choice changes the transaction fee |

No AXL platform fee on your sales
“AXL does not take a percentage cut of your revenue. All money you get is yours.”
You connect your own Stripe, PayPal or one of 20+ providers, and the money goes from your customer to your account. We are not in the path, hold no funds, and do not skim.
The guardrails
Usage-based pricing is only trustworthy if you can watch it and the fastest-moving line is capped.
AI with a real-money balance
uses the monthly cap you set and stops if pending AI charges use up that balance
Separate account debt gate
uses the balance, bonus balance and the account's plan credit
Open any usage line to see daily cost and the contributors behind it.
These are separate stops. AI can stop while the account stays open because referral and promo balances, plus plan credit, do not pay for AI.
Questions
Eight billing answers.
$49 per month. It includes 5,000 contacts, 50 GB of storage, 15,000 emails, 25,000 messages, 50 video-viewing hours, 50 webinar viewer-hours streamed through AXL, one admin and 200 AI credits.
Only the amount above the allowance is billed at the published overage rate. The plan fee and every positive overage line are added together.
No. Starter, Growth, Scale and Pro use the same overage rate card. Larger plans give you more included usage.
You still pay the plan fee. Contacts, storage and active admins are calculated and charged day by day from each day's actual amount. Email, messages, video viewing, webinar viewing through AXL streaming and AI use monthly consumption.
No. AXL takes 0% of your sales. Your payment provider can still charge its own processing fee.
A larger plan can remove enough overage to lower the total. The calculator compares all four plan totals and recommends the lowest estimate.
Yes. Storage includes uploaded files and converted video renditions. Video viewing is a separate viewer-hour allowance and overage line.
The free trial lasts 14 calendar days. Billing shows the exact end date.
Plan allowances and overage rates follow the owner-approved 2026 pricing specification.
