Can I use my own Anthropic key with SalesCrew?

Yes. Add BYOK for $99 a month, store the key in your own vault, and your AI use leaves the plan allowance.

The short answer

  • SalesCrew lets you use your own Anthropic key through the bring-your-own-key (BYOK) add-on, at $99 a month on any tier.
  • With BYOK, SalesCrew's AI features run Claude on your key, and those calls do not draw on your plan's AI allowance.
  • SalesCrew stores your Anthropic key in Supabase Vault inside your own project and never displays it after entry.
  • Without BYOK, SalesCrew runs Claude on its own key, metered against an allowance of about 5,000 model calls a month on Core.

Managed AI or your own key: what changes

SalesCrew's AI runs on Anthropic's Claude, through one gateway in your instance. That gateway picks a fast model or a quality model for each feature. By default it uses SalesCrew's key, and your plan includes an allowance. With BYOK it uses your key instead.

Your prompts, your settings and your features stay the same either way. What moves is the bill. On managed AI you pay SalesCrew, and past the cap you top up at $10 per 1,000 credits. On BYOK you pay Anthropic for usage and SalesCrew $99 a month for the add-on.

When your own key makes sense

BYOK pays off when your team runs a lot of AI work: agents sweeping the inbox every 15 minutes, AI fields on big lists, drafts on every reply. You'll also want it if your company already has an Anthropic account with its own terms, or if finance wants all model spend on one bill.

You set it up once. Paste the key in Settings, turn on the add-on, and every AI feature switches over. The setup guide walks through each step.

Set a spend limit on the Anthropic side too

With BYOK, SalesCrew's allowance no longer caps your AI use. Set a monthly spend limit in your Anthropic console before you turn agents to auto, so a busy week can't surprise you.

Questions

How much does bring-your-own-key cost on SalesCrew?
The BYOK add-on is $99 a month on any tier. You pay Anthropic directly for the model usage on your key. SalesCrew stops metering those calls against your plan's AI allowance, so the 80% alert and the top-ups no longer apply to them.
Where does SalesCrew keep my Anthropic key?
In Supabase Vault, inside your own SalesCrew project. The key is never shown again after you enter it. The AI gateway reads it from the vault at run time, and you can replace or remove it whenever you like.
Which SalesCrew features run on my own key?
Every AI feature that goes through the SalesCrew AI gateway: Draft with AI in the inbox, reply classification, record summaries, lead scores, AI fields and the agents. Each call is logged with the feature that made it, so you can match your Anthropic bill to the work.
Can I switch back to SalesCrew's managed AI?
Yes. Remove your key and turn off the add-on, and SalesCrew goes back to its own key with your plan's allowance, about 5,000 model calls a month on Core. Your data, prompts and settings stay as they are.
