Most AI platforms have a business model built on your usage. The more you use them, the more they charge. Every message your agents send — it all adds up on their invoice. That’s not how Mission Control works.

We built Mission Control on BYOK — Bring Your Own Keys. You connect your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DeepSeek. Your agents route through your keys. You pay your LLM provider directly. We charge one platform subscription — and zero AI usage markups.

What BYOK Actually Means

It’s simple: sign up for LLM providers, generate API keys, connect them to Mission Control. Your agents use your keys. You’re billed by your providers at standard API rates. Mission Control adds nothing on top.

The Hidden Cost of Bundled AI

Platforms that bundle AI usage buy API access at wholesale rates and resell it to you at retail premium. Every agent you add, every message you send — they make margin. With BYOK, your platform subscription stays flat. Your LLM costs are between you and your provider. No middleman taxing your AI usage.

Data Sovereignty: Your Keys, Your Data

When your agents run through shared API pools, your data flows through accounts you don’t control. With BYOK, every API call goes through your own provider accounts. Your data stays within your accounts. Your usage logs are yours. For businesses handling sensitive client data, this is a requirement — not a nice-to-have.

Unlimited Agents on a Flat Subscription

Because we don’t charge per agent or per message, there’s no financial reason to limit how many agents you deploy. Pro plan ($49/month) includes unlimited agents. Add as many as your business needs.

Which Providers Work With BYOK?

OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4.5, GPT-5), Anthropic (Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus), Google (Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash), and DeepSeek (DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1). Mix and match — assign different models to different agents. Claude for Content, GPT-4o for Sales. You’re in control.

Is BYOK Right for Your Business?

BYOK makes the most sense if you plan to use AI agents heavily, want predictable platform costs, need data sovereignty, intend to scale to a full squad, or already have LLM provider accounts. If you’re testing the waters, start with the free plan — one agent, no credit card, BYOK from day one.

The Simple Math

5 agents on a typical bundled platform: $200-500/month with usage caps. Mission Control Pro: $49/month, unlimited agents, your LLM costs go directly to providers. You bring the keys. We provide the platform.

You bring the keys. We provide the platform.
