Interaction counting
How KlicForge counts interactions against your monthly plan allowance, with worked examples.
Every KlicForge plan includes a monthly allowance of interactions. This page explains exactly what counts as one, so you can predict your usage.
What counts as one interaction
An interaction is charged per user turn, not per message exchanged. One turn covers everything the agent does in response: reading its knowledge, calling tools, thinking, and writing its reply.
The rule is:
interactions for a turn = 1
+ 1 for each attachment the user sends
+ 1 for each file the agent sends backWhat does not count
None of the following add to your interaction count:
- Tool calls. An agent that calls six tools to answer one question still costs one interaction.
- Retries and internal steps. Intent detection, image analysis, transcription and conversation summaries are all part of running the platform, not separate interactions.
- Turns that never reach the model. If a request fails before the agent responds, it is not charged.
- Agent replies on their own. Only user turns start the count.
Attachments are counted individually because each one is processed separately — an image is analysed, a document is read, a voice note is transcribed.
Worked examples
| What happened | Interactions |
|---|---|
| A visitor asks a question, the agent answers | 1 |
| A visitor asks a question that makes the agent search knowledge and call three tools | 1 |
| A visitor sends a message with two photos attached | 3 |
| A visitor sends a voice note | 2 |
| A visitor asks for a document and the agent sends one file back | 2 |
| A conversation with ten back-and-forth user messages, no attachments | 10 |
Scheduled tasks and evaluations
Scheduled tasks that send a message through an agent are charged the same way as a user turn.
Evaluations are charged per simulated user turn, plus one interaction for each test case that uses the AI judge. A single-turn test case scored by the judge therefore costs 2 interactions. Test cases using only deterministic checks cost no judge interaction. The estimate shown before you start an evaluation run uses these same rules.
