On the [Netlify billing page](https://www.netlify.com/pricing/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=12755510784&adgroup=118788138937&utm_term=netlify%20pricing&utm_content=kwd-925998630142&creative=514583565828&device=c&matchtype=e&location=9000945&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1tasnZGI8QIVhI7ICh2f7AB-EAAYASAAEgJqqPD_BwE) the Serverless Functions  
Invocations category for the PRO plan says

> 125k per site /month  
> ($25+ when exceeded)

How is the additional $25 applied? For another 125k invocations?

If you scroll further down the billing page to the **Per-site add-ons** you can see the specifications/pricing for Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2

hi there, happy to clarify:

At the level 0 tier, a site (not team) has 125k function invocations. If this is exceeded, the site (not team) is bumped to Level 1 tier and has 2 million invocations. If this is exceeded, then we will charge for bundles of 500k invocation add-ons at $19 each.

Can you please confirm the prices are still the same as mentioned above? The current pricing page only states:

> 125k per site /month  
> ($25+ when exceeded)

I’d love to know where to find this information!

@lance-h Asking the AI on the pricing page gives this answer:

Thanks Nathan - the AI chat gave me some contradictory answers, different to yours.

Based on what it was saying to me it would be $44 - however the page you linked indicates $25.

Glad to have concrete answers on the page you linked though!

As with all current “AI’s”, I certainly wouldn’t inherently **trust** answers that it vomits out.

In this case I just used it to try and locate where the pricing information was situated on the site, since I couldn’t find any reference to it directly on the main `/pricing` page.

In your second screenshot the AI answer of $44 is blatantly incorrect.

You get your first 125,000 invocations each month ‘free’.  
If you exceed that you’re charged $25, which covers you up to a total of 2,000,000 invocations.  
So the $25 effectively buys another 1,875,000 invocations.

If you exceed 2 million total, you’re charged another $19 for each block of 500,000 additional invocations.  
Each time you exceed that, you’re charged another $19 for another block of 500,000.

Some examples:  
100,000 invocations = $0  
600,000 invocations = $25  
1,900,000 invocations = $25  
2,300,000 invocations = $25 + $19 = $44  
3,700,000 invocations = $25 + $19 + $19 + $19 + $19 = $101
