# Paying per call or per seat: Best MCP Servers for Business

**Answer in brief:** Seats price people. An agent works in bursts, so count its calls.


## Seats were made for people

Most business software charges for each person who signs in. An agent may work at night, in bursts or for several people at once, so a seat says little about its cost.

## Per-call pricing

Conecto charges per call from one balance: reading is free up to 1,000,000 reads a month, a record change costs $0.01, sending an invoice costs $0.10, and a failed call costs nothing.[1][2]

## Server prices on top of plans

Most makers in this reference list no separate price for their server, so your app plan applies. Zapier MCP uses two tasks for each successful call.[3]
