I'm working on a coding agent for typescript teams and I'm curious how people would like to consume these things generallyin terms of price a predictability. I've thought through a bunch of stuff, not sure what is best... Right now I have a base fee and then a concept of credits, the base fee ($500) includes 10k credits, and the credits are tied to PRs, it works out to 100 "credits" per simple PR and 200 "credits" for a complex PR, Commit is 20 credits. 20 credits are $5. PR reviews are free.

Is this way too complicated? It feels complicated to me and I worked on it, so I presume it is?

I don't want to end up in some "you can work for X number of hours" situation that seems... not useful to engineers?

How do real world devs wanna consume this stuff and pay for it so there is some predictability and it's useful still?

Thank you. :)

That suggested pricing structure is too complicated - especially when it boils down to $5 for a simple PR, and $10 for a big one.
