Feedback items
What counts. A feedback item is counted every time it is processed, whether it’s a brand-new submission or an update to an existing one. Feedback evolves: a support ticket gets new replies, a Linear issue gets new comments, a transcript gets appended to. Each of those kicks off a fresh analysis run and adds one to the counter. Where it’s counted. Ingestion happens from the UI, the public API, the MCP server, and every connected integration. All paths feed the same counter. If you submit the same feedback twice, it counts twice. Items that fail analysis aren’t refunded.Included amounts and the hard cap
Each plan ships anincluded amount per period. On top of that sits a hard cap at twice the included amount, a safety lid that can’t be crossed even with overages enabled. It exists to protect you from runaway billing (a misconfigured webhook, an accidental re-ingest loop). If you genuinely need it lifted, contact us.
Overages, opt-in and off by default
Toggle overages from Organization Settings → Billing → Overages. Overages off (the default). Reaching theincluded cap rejects new ingestion with an upgrade-or-enable-overages error. You stop ingesting rather than quietly run up a tab.
Overages on. Ingestion keeps running past included up to the hard cap. Each item above included is billed on your next invoice.
No feedback overage on Starter. If you consistently exceed 1,000 items per period, the right move is to upgrade to Growth rather than lean on overages.
Seats
What’s a seat. One seat covers one organization member. Active members count, and pending invitations count too (an outstanding invite reserves a seat until it’s revoked or the member joins). Deactivated members don’t count. Adding seats above included. You’re charged immediately, prorated to the end of the current billing period. Removing an over-limit seat. The unused portion is credited on your next invoice. Business and Enterprise. Both include unlimited seats, so there’s no seat overage because there’s no cap.The preconfigured LLM allowance
Kontext runs on large language models. In normal operation you bring your own key (BYOK): configure a provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, your own gateway) in Organization Settings → AI Providers, and all analysis runs against it on your bill. Why the allowance exists. To avoid forcing BYOK configuration before you’ve seen Kontext work, every plan ships a small preconfigured allowance of LLM calls made against a provider that Kontext owns and pays for. It’s enough to ingest a handful of feedback items and see the full analysis pipeline in action. Hard-capped, by design. Once the allowance is exhausted, further analysis requires a configured BYOK provider. There’s no on-by-default overage path on the preconfigured LLM. The goal is to lower the bar to the first productive use of Kontext, not to be a permanent hosted-LLM service. Need more? If you have a genuine reason to keep running on the preconfigured LLM past the allowance (evaluation stretch, BYOK not yet approved internally), contact us and we’ll work something out. Just don’t plan on it as a long-term setup.Monitoring your usage
In the app. Current-period counters, with the included line and hard-cap line drawn, live under Organization Settings → Usage. Upcoming charges. With overages enabled, the accumulating overage charge for the current period is visible on your upcoming invoice in the billing portal, so there’s no guessing about where you’ll land.Related

- Trial uses the same cap behavior but overages don’t apply.
