- 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.
