Concepts
Stubbucks
Credits system used within the Stubber Platform
Basic Principle
When actions run in Stubber, they execute tasks and may send notifications, both of which can incur a cost.
All costs are denominated in Stubbucks, represented by the '⛀' symbol.
Stubbucks are credits used to pay for:
- Task execution
- Notifications
You load Stubbucks into your account, and as actions run, costs are deducted automatically.
Cost
⛀ 1 Stubbuck = $0.10 USD
The easiest way to purchase Stubbucks is with a credit card via the Console.
Usage (Per Stub)
Each stub has its own Billing tab where you can view cost information.
To see the Stubbucks used on a stub:
- Open the stub
- Navigate to the
Billingtab
Here you can see:
- The total cost of that specific stub
- A detailed breakdown of all cost components (e.g. tasks, notifications, AI usage)
This allows you to clearly understand where cost is being incurred on a per-stub basis.
Usage (Console)
You can also monitor Stubbucks usage across your entire organisation in the Console.
Navigate to:
Console → Usage
Here you can see:
- Balance: Your remaining Stubbucks
- Total Usage: Stubbucks used over the selected period
- Daily Average: Average daily consumption
The Usage Overview chart provides:
- Daily usage trends
- Ability to switch between daily and cumulative views
- Date range filtering
You can also:
- Toggle between Stubbucks and USD view
- Download usage data as a CSV for reporting and analysis
This view is useful for monitoring overall spend, identifying spikes in usage, and managing cost at scale.
Template Usage
You can analyse cost at a template level in the Console.
Navigate to:
Console → Usage
The Template Usage section provides a breakdown of cost by template, including:
- Template Name: The process or flow being executed
- Number of Stubs: How many times the template has been used
- Average Stubbucks per Stub: The average cost per execution
- Total Stubbucks: The total cost across all executions
This allows you to:
- Identify which processes are driving the most cost
- Compare efficiency between different templates
- Understand average cost per interaction without manual calculation
This view provides a reliable, real-time way to monitor and optimise the cost of your implementations.
