Sparkforge Billing: Wallets, Charges, and Rebilling Explained
Sparkforge runs on a subscription plan plus pay-as-you-use wallets for phone, email, AI, and other services. Agencies pay Sparkforge and can rebill clients at cost or with markup, depending on plan tier.
Sparkforge billing has two parts: a subscription tier that unlocks features, and pay-as-you-use wallets that fund add-on services like phone, email, and AI. This article walks through every charge type, every additional service, and how rebilling works.
Where to Manage Billing
Every charge to your account is visible in Agency View → Billing. You can manage your subscription, wallet thresholds, and payment methods, and break down charges by subaccount.
Subscription Plans
Sparkforge subscriptions come in tiers. Each tier unlocks more capabilities. You need an active subscription before you can use any of the additional services below.
Agency Wallets and Usage Billing
When you opt into add-on services (Phone, Email, AI), you fund an Agency Wallet. Wallets hold credits. Credits are deducted as you use the service. When the wallet drops below the minimum threshold, Sparkforge auto-recharges by charging your agency card on file.
You set both the minimum threshold and the recharge amount in Billing → Wallet & Transactions.
Why a wallet
You only pay for what you use. Most platforms force a fixed bundle (500 SMS for $40/month) whether you use them or not. The wallet model charges per actual SMS, email, or AI execution.

Workflow Premium Triggers and Actions
Workflows fire on triggers and run actions. Most are free; some are premium at $0.01 per execution. Examples: ChatGPT actions and other AI calls have separate pricing.
Your agency is charged for premium executions across all subaccounts. You can rebill clients to recover the cost or earn margin.
Workflow Pro Plan
Volume tiers for premium executions:
| Tier | Monthly Price | Included Executions | Overage Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 free lifetime executions | $0.01 |
| Starter | $10 | 10,000 | $0.008 |
| Growth | $25 | 30,000 | $0.006 |
| Scale | $50 | 65,000 | $0.004 |
Agencies on the Pro plan can resell Workflow Pro to clients. Workflow Pro doesn't include ChatGPT or Workflow AI — those run on pay-as-you-go.

Ad Manager

What Rebilling Means
Rebilling is when an agency charges a subaccount for usage costs the agency was billed by Sparkforge. Sparkforge always bills the agency at the listed Sparkforge price; rebilling lets the agency recover those costs from the client.
- Rebilling without markup: Unlimited plan. Recover costs at the Sparkforge price.
- Rebilling with markup: Agency Pro plan only. Set your own client-facing price; the agency keeps the difference. This is part of SaaS Mode.
What Reselling Means
Reselling is offering a service to a subaccount as an add-on. Resellable services include Workflow Pro, Branded Client Portal App, AI Employee Unlimited, Yext Online Listings, WordPress Hosting, WhatsApp, Dedicated IP, and Ad Manager.
Configure reselling under Agency View → Reselling. The agency pays the Sparkforge price per subaccount; the agency sets the resell price (matching or higher).
SMS Segments
An SMS segment is the unit carriers use to count and charge for messages. Each SMS is broken into segments based on length. Longer messages cost more because they use more segments.
Are Unanswered Calls Charged?
Generally, no. If you call someone, they don't pick up, and you don't leave a voicemail, you typically aren't charged. Some restrictions apply based on call type and outcome.
