A: Hey there!

Absolutely, let's clarify the details for the Multi-Agent Add-on and future updates for LTD holders – totally understand wanting to be sure about your investment!

1. Multi-Agent Add-On (for Tier 3 & 4 LTD Holders):

- Yes, it's a One-Time Purchase (LTD for the Add-on): The Multi-Agent System capability will be available as a one-time purchase add-on, specifically for those who have our AppSumo Tier 3 or Tier 4 LTD. This means once you buy the add-on, you get lifetime access to that Multi-Agent functionality as defined at its launch.

- Limitations (Throttling, etc.):
The Multi-Agent system, by its nature, involves more complex orchestration and potentially more resource-intensive operations (as it coordinates multiple sub-agents).
While we aim for robust performance, all platform usage (including multi-agent runs) will still be subject to your overall AgenticFlow plan's monthly credit limits and general fair use API rate limits that apply to the platform to ensure stability for all users.
The core functionality of orchestrating multiple agents will be unlocked. We don't plan specific, separate "throttling" solely for the multi-agent feature beyond what's governed by your credits and standard platform rate limits.

2. Future-Proofing, New Features & Credit Costs:
- LTD Plan Mapping: Your AppSumo LTD (Tier 1/2 mapping to Pro, Tier 3/4 mapping to Team) will receive all future core features and updates that are added to those respective standard SaaS plans (Pro or Team) on our website (https://agenticflow.ai/pricing).

- Future Add-ons:
Our general philosophy is that your LTD includes the features of the plan it maps to at the time of purchase and future core updates to that plan.

The Multi-Agent system is a significant piece of functionality from our higher-tier Business plan that we're making available as an exception via an add-on due to strong community demand.

While we always aim to add value, if we develop entirely new, very resource-intensive premium modules in the future that are typically part of much higher enterprise tiers (beyond our standard Pro/Team/Business plans), those could potentially be offered as optional add-ons rather than being automatically included in all LTDs. This is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform and the lifetime deals.

However, our commitment is that the core functionality of your purchased tier (and the Multi-Agent add-on, if bought) will continue to be enhanced.

3. Credit Cost Changes:

The fixed credit cost per step (e.g., 3 credits on T3/4) is tied to the plan level and our platform operational costs. We don't have plans to increase this fixed cost for existing LTD holders.

Variable credit costs for using our built-in LLMs can fluctuate if the underlying costs from AI model providers (like Google for Gemini Flash) change significantly, but we aim to keep these economical.

Using BYOK or the Pixel ML OpenRouter (for premium models) means those costs are largely determined by the external provider or our pass-through rates, not your base AgenticFlow credits.

4. Guarantees:
We guarantee that your AppSumo LTD will continue to receive the features and updates aligned with the SaaS plan tier it maps to. The Multi-Agent add-on, once purchased, grants you lifetime access to that specific multi-agent orchestration functionality. Our goal is to build a long-term, sustainable platform, and community feedback (like yours!) is crucial in guiding how we package and deliver new, advanced capabilities.

We aim to be transparent. The Multi-Agent add-on is a clear example: it's a significant feature, and we're offering it as a defined, one-time purchase for those who want that advanced capability on their LTD.

Hope this provides the clarity you were looking for!
