Priced per comment by platform: Reddit $0.07 a thread plus $0.00665 a comment, LinkedIn $0.0035 a comment (inspect lists every platform; X is not served). The hold covers the requested limit; the charge covers the comments returned. Reddit returns the comments only, not the post. If the provider's actual cost overruns the estimate, the run bills the overrun at the same per-call rate, capped by the hold.
The exact quote is returned by /v1/inspect before every call and held with headroom on execution. The quote is the price floor: if the provider's actual cost overruns it, the run bills the overrun at the same rate, never above the hold. The unused part of every hold is released.
