Usage visibility is free. If you want to charge for access to your server, Tally handles the entire billing layer — you keep 90%.
The moment you instrument your MCP server with Tally, you get full usage visibility at no charge. Who is calling, how often, how many tokens they're consuming, and what that would cost them if you charged.
No credit card. No setup. Register your server, add the SDK, start seeing data. The ledger is always free.
Turn on monetisation and your consumers buy Platform Credits — prepaid units — in packages you define. Every invocation redeems credits deterministically against their balance. When they run out, service pauses cleanly. No debt. No awkward conversations.
You set the rate. You embed your margin inside the credit price. Tally runs the ledger and takes 10% of what consumers pay for credits. You keep 90%.
e.g., 10 credits per API call, or 1 credit per 1,000 tokens. You decide what a credit is worth in your service context.
They purchase from packages you define — $50 starter, $250 standard, whatever tiers make sense. They prepay. Always.
Before your server processes the call, Tally confirms the consumer has sufficient credits. The check is in the record layer — not in your execution path.
Deterministic. No rounding surprises. Full ledger entry per redemption, exportable at any time.
No debt created. No bill sent. The consumer tops up and resumes. You never carry financial risk.
Add managed billing and Tally handles the entire consumer-facing payment lifecycle — Stripe integration, the credit purchase flow, auto-replenish when balances run low, a self-serve consumer portal, and receipts. You focus on your server. We focus on the money.
You receive payouts on your schedule. No invoicing. No accounts receivable. No chasing. Tally never extends credit to anyone — consumers always prepay, so you never carry the risk of a consumer who can't pay.
Managed billing is included in the 10% revenue share. There is no extra charge for the payment infrastructure. We take our cut only when money changes hands.
When credits hit zero, invocations are rejected. No debt is ever created.
All usage is prepaid. No invoice is ever sent to anyone for services already consumed.
Consumer balances are visible at all times. Nothing happens behind their back.
A billing service outage cannot fail your invocations. The two systems are architecturally separate.
Usage visibility is free. Monetisation is a revenue share — we only earn when you earn.
Full observability of who is using your server and what it costs them.
No monthly fee. No setup cost. We take our cut only when money changes hands.
Usage visibility is free. Start there. Add monetisation when you're ready.
