After a conversation, each message in the dashboard's conversation view shows its model requests and token cost. A [custom LLM](/agents/build/custom-llm) endpoint carries no LLM charge.

### Simulation tests

A [Simulation test](/agents/test/agent-tests#simulation-tests) has the agent talk to a simulated user in text, then an LLM judge scores the conversation. There is no conversation rate. Each run that ends in **Pass** or **Fail** is charged:

- A platform fee of \$0.003 per agent reply. A [fixed first message](/agents/build/configuration#first-message) is spoken as written and is not counted, a generated one is.
- The tokens of the agent, the simulated user, and the judge, each at the rate of the model it ran on. An agent on a [custom LLM](/agents/build/custom-llm) endpoint carries no charge for its own tokens.

A run that ends in **Error** is not charged, and every repeat of a test is a run of its own. Single Turn and Tool tests are free.

With no conversation rate to cover them, the basic models are billed on their tokens in Simulation tests. Prices are in USD per 1 million tokens:

| Model | Input | Cached input | Output |
| --------------------- | ------ | ------------ | ------ |
| Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite | \$0.30 | \$0.03 | \$2.50 |
| GPT-5.6 Luna | \$0.20 | \$0.02 | \$1.20 |
| Gemma 4 26B | \$0.10 | \$0.05 | \$0.30 |

The other models are billed at the same rates as in conversations. The result of each run shows what it was charged, and the [Agents billing page](https://fish.audio/app/agents/billing) itemizes the platform fee and each participant's tokens.

### Outbound destinations

The standard phone surcharge applies to inbound calls and most outbound calls. Outbound calls to the destinations below replace it with a rate that depends on the number dialed:

Every account starts with a one-time **\$5 trial balance**, about 60 minutes of conversation at the base rate. It pays for real usage at the normal rates:

- Every charge draws on it first: web sessions, phone calls and their surcharges, transferred call time, number rental, and LLM tokens on token-billed models. Only what the trial balance does not cover is charged to your API credit.
- A session can start on any model, including token-billed ones, as long as the trial balance or your API credit is above zero.

- A session can start on any model, including token-billed ones, as long as the trial balance or your API credit is above zero. The same goes for running Simulation tests.
- [Preview calls](/agents/test/preview-calls) in the Builder are free on every LLM, including token-billed ones, and never draw on the trial balance.
- The [Agents billing page](https://fish.audio/app/agents/billing) shows how much of the trial balance is left, and the Agents home page shows it as a usage meter.

## Billing

Usage is charged to your **API credit**, the same prepaid balance as the Fish Audio speech APIs. Sessions are charged when they end, and number rental is charged daily.

State the trial-balance draw order in the Billing section.

Line 97 says Simulation test charges draw on the trial balance first. Line 104 instead says usage is charged to API credit. Readers with a trial balance can therefore get conflicting guidance about which balance pays for a run. State that charges draw on the trial balance first, then API credit.

If you are used to tools without a mock calling their real endpoint, your first runs will show **No mock** on those calls. Add a mock for each tool the test form lists, or add read-only tools to **Call the real endpoint**.

Mocks and assertions apply to the tools attached to the agent under test. A tool the agent does not have is never mocked and counts as never called: a required call on it fails with _This tool is not on the agent_, while a forbidden tool or a maximum-only check passes. Client tools on a phone channel are treated the same way. This keeps a shared guard such as "never call issue_refund" passing on agents that cannot call the tool.

A Simulation run with an **Unknown** condition fails and carries a **Needs review** badge. If a run can't complete, the card shows **Error** with a message that says whether the agent caused it, for example its custom LLM endpoint stopped responding, or the platform did, for example our language model did not answer. A conversation that broke off or hit its time limit is never judged, so it can't pass by accident. The transcript is still shown below the error, as it is when the conversation finished but could not be judged.

Everything on this page is also available over the REST API with an [API key](/developer-guide/getting-started/api-key), so you can keep tests next to your agent configuration and gate releases on them. See the [Tests API reference](/api-reference/endpoint/agent/list-tests) for every endpoint.

- **Export and import.** [Get Test](/api-reference/endpoint/agent/get-test) returns a test's full definition. Post that body to [Create Test](/api-reference/endpoint/agent/create-test) as is to recreate it, for example from JSON files kept in your repository. Read-only fields such as `test_id` and `created_at` are ignored. Tool references use your workspace's tool ids, so an export imports as is within the same team. [List Test Tools](/api-reference/endpoint/agent/list-test-tools) returns the ids a test can reference for an agent, including integration tools. [Import and export tests](/agents/test/import-export-tests) has scripts for saving tests to files and for moving them to another team.

Simulation tests take minutes, so give the job a timeout that covers your longest scenarios. To tolerate occasional failures of repeated Simulation tests, gate on `pass_rate` instead, for example `jq -e '.pass_rate >= 0.8'`.

## Billing

Single Turn and Tool tests are free. Each Simulation run that ends in **Pass** or **Fail** is charged a platform fee of $0.003 per agent reply, plus the LLM tokens of the agent, the simulated user, and the judge. A fixed first message is not counted as a reply, a generated one is. Runs that end in **Error** are not charged, and every repeat is a run of its own. The basic models are billed on their tokens in Simulation tests, see [Pricing](/agents/pricing#simulation-tests) for the rates.

Runs draw on the trial balance first, then your API credit, and each one is itemized on the [Agents billing page](https://fish.audio/app/agents/billing): the reply fee, then the tokens of each participant by model and token category with their rates. The test name on each line opens that run's result. Over the API, a run's `usage.cost_usd` is what it was charged, `0` for a run that is not charged, and two fields show what it adds up to: `usage.platform_fee` gives the rate per reply and the fee, and `usage.llm` has one entry per participant and model with its amount and the tokens and cost of each token category (input, cached input, cache writes, output). The charge is usually settled as soon as the run ends, and until then `usage.cost_usd` and `usage.platform_fee` are `null` and `usage.llm` is empty. Running a Simulation test needs the trial balance or your API credit above zero: otherwise the Builder and [Run Tests](/api-reference/endpoint/agent/run-tests) refuse it with a 402, and a queued run that finds the balance used up ends in **Error** without being charged.
