Plug-n-Play (PnP) Tokens
What are PnP tokens?
PnP tokens are an optional billing unit used for nodes marked with the $ icon.
These nodes interact with external paid resources (third-party APIs, AI models, etc.) without requiring you to provide your own API keys or maintain external accounts.
Instead, you work with Latenode as an intermediary: usage is billed through a single, unified account, and tokens are charged accordingly.
Pricing and billing
- 1 PnP token = 1 USD. When a node is executed, the cost is calculated based on actual provider usage, and the equivalent number of tokens is deducted.
- PnP tokens are charged in addition to Execution Credits during a scenario run.
- Pay-as-you-go: you are charged for actual provider usage, not “per request”.
- Each PnP node shows pricing in its interface (typically provider rate + a small markup for processing costs).
Billing modes
Pay-per-use (default)
Applies to most PnP nodes such as AI models, file converters, enrichment nodes, and AI agents. Tokens are charged based on usage.
Monthly subscription for authentication
This applies only to personal account connections for the following services. In this case, the $ icon means the connection itself is paid and costs 10 PnP tokens per month:
- Telegram (Personal account)
- WhatsApp (Personal account)
- LinkedIn (Personal account)
You will see a clear warning about this when creating the authorization:
Viewing usage
Each PnP node shows its detailed pricing in a collapsible section inside the node configuration.
After scenario execution, you can view:
- The exact number of PnP tokens spent
- The actual execution cost of the node
This data is available under the Log tab on the right side of the node.
You can also track overall PnP token usage in Execution History (clock icon in the top-right corner of the interface):
You can view detailed usage statistics for PnP Tokens on the Statistics page.
