What a Studio project costs
Studio charges Xags from your Xagio balance as each stage runs. There is no separate Studio subscription and no per-site fee. Before each paid step, Studio shows you the price or an estimate.
How Studio charges
Section titled “How Studio charges”- Your balance. Studio spends your xRenew first, then your xBanks, the same as the rest of Xagio. Your balance shows in the two pills at the top of Studio. See How Xags work.
- Charged as work is done. Each stage charges when it delivers: per query, per keyword, per page or per image. If a stage stops early, you pay only for what was finished, and Studio never charges twice for the same work.
- Prices shown first. Studio shows the cost before paid steps: the competition estimate, the build estimate, the logo price, the cost to add keywords and the price of each re-run. Figures marked “±” are estimates. Plain figures are exact charges.
Two kinds of prices
Section titled “Two kinds of prices”Data prices are fixed. Keyword research and competition data come from a data provider at a set price per query, keyword or project.
AI prices vary. AI steps (keyword grouping, SEO, content, images, logos, schema and the build) are billed at about 3x the measured AI cost of the work for your project. A long page or a large plan costs more than a short one. The figures below are typical prices, not fixed ones.

The 50-Xag minimum
Section titled “The 50-Xag minimum”You need at least 50 Xags (xRenew plus xBanks) to start a new project or a site build. This is a balance check, not a charge. It doesn’t apply while a connected ChatGPT plan has usage left (see Build on your ChatGPT plan). With less, Studio shows “Building a site takes more XAGS than you have right now” and a View my plan & top up button. The build then charges only for the work it does.
See what a project has cost
Section titled “See what a project has cost”The XAGS used so far counter sits at the bottom right of the project page and the site editor. It appears after the first charge.
- Click XAGS used so far to open the breakdown.
- Read the total and the charges by stage: Keyword research, Competition analysis, SEO metadata, Page content, Structured data, Logo, Images, Site build and Site editor chat, with per-page detail where it applies.
You can drag the counter to move it, or minimize it to just the number. The breakdown shows Xags only.
Control what you spend
Section titled “Control what you spend”- Build on your own AI. Connect your ChatGPT plan or add your own OpenAI key. AI work then costs 0 Xags, and you pay Xags only for keyword and competition data.
- Choose Standard competition speed. Priority costs several times more.
- Choose Just my main service unless you want pages for related services.
- With Build it for me, set Maximum pages to build to cap the size of the site.
- Use Let me review the plan and exclude pages you don’t need before you click Optimize.
- Choose No unique images, or upload your own photos on a Real Business site.
If you run out of Xags
Section titled “If you run out of Xags”Work stops and shows Paused — out of credits. Everything created so far is saved. Click Get more XAGS, top up, then resume. Studio picks up the remaining pages without charging again for finished work.
