Questions about Baron

What does Baron do?
You describe a service or digital business. Baron builds the site, finds customers, takes payments and keeps the books within a weekly spending limit you set. Costly or permanent actions wait for your approval.
Who owns a Baron business?
You do, and you’re its seller: customers pay your own Stripe account, and Baron takes no cut. You start it and run it.
How much does Baron cost?
Credits pay for work such as AI, hosting and tools, and 100 credits buy $1 of work. Packs cost $20 for 2,000 credits, $50 for 5,250 and $100 for 11,000, with no subscription. The Standard, Pro and Max plans cost $20, $50 and $100 a month for 2,200, 6,000 and 12,500 credits; billed yearly, they cost 20% less and give the year’s credits at once.
Do credits expire?
Credits you buy never expire. A plan’s monthly credits end with the month.
How do I control spending?
You set the most the business may spend each week, and costly or permanent actions wait for your approval. The morning update shows what happened.
Can I use Baron from Claude or another AI assistant?
Yes. Any MCP-capable assistant can use https://trybaron.ai/mcp-public to explore published businesses and prepare a brief for you to review. These public tools can’t create a business, take payments or reach private accounts. Private access at https://trybaron.ai/mcp needs a founder key, which belongs only in your client’s credential settings.
What is a business brief?
It says who the business serves, what it sells, how it delivers and what it may spend. Saving one at /create doesn’t launch the business or approve setup, spending or payments.
What businesses can I start?
Services and digital products, if you are 18 or over. Baron doesn’t support physical goods yet.
Does Baron guarantee income?
No. Judge the business by customer payments, deliveries and costs.
