Building and running come out of the same balance
There is no monthly fee and no subscription. Credits are bought in packs, once, and never expire; keeping the systems running takes 750 of them a month. Leave room for that when you size a pack.

Credits, and what happens when they run out
Credits are the only meter on the platform, and it runs on building rather than on using. Here is what one is, where they go, and precisely what happens on the day you run out.

Where you do it
01 Step by step
The meter is on the building, not the using
Creating a screen, adding a field, generating a report — each of those consumes a few credits. Your team then using the finished system all day costs almost nothing.
That is the opposite of most business software, where the bill grows with every user you add. Here, users, records, edits, screens, logging in and keeping the system running once it is built are not charged for at all.
01
Read the balance while you work
Credits available sits on your account page, and the studio shows what the last change cost. It is on screen before a bill arrives, not after.
02
Know which part is the heavy one
Building the first version takes most of a 1,500-credit pack. Adding a form or a report afterwards takes a small fraction, and adjusting prices or wording is negligible. The spending is front-loaded, not monthly.
03
Watch for the warning
When most of the balance is gone you are told, with the number left, while there is still time to do something about it. Nothing gets cut short without notice.
04
Buy the pack that fits the work
1,500 for €49, 4,000 for €119, 15,000 for €199, 40,000 for €499, 60,000 for €729, 100,000 for €1,199. None of them expire, so a bigger pack is not a commitment to spend it this month. The last four are introductory prices held until 30 September; from 1 October they are €399, €999, €1,449 and €2,399.
05
Or stop for a while
You buy credits again whenever there is something you want changed; nothing renews in between. Keep enough in the balance for the 750 a month and your systems carry on — if it will not cover a month, we write to you and give you a fortnight before anything is suspended.
02 In your own words
What actually stops
If the credits run out, nothing is deleted and no debt builds up. Two things pause: the studio stops building, and anything inside your own system that calls the AI itself stops answering.
Everything else carries on. Your system stays up, your staff keep using it, your customers keep booking, the scheduled jobs keep running and your data stays exactly where it is. You can still export all of it.
WHY IT PAUSES INSTEAD OF BILLING YOU
An automatic overage would mean a bill you did not agree to, arriving after the money was spent. Pausing is the version where you stay in control of what is spent.
Both resume the moment you buy another pack — there is nothing to restore and nothing to ask us for. Nothing refills on its own, which is the same rule that makes bought credits never expire.
03 What to watch for
A
B
A rebuild is not a small change
Restructuring how a whole part of the business works costs more than a field. If you know a big piece of work is coming, the larger pack costs less per credit than several small ones.
C
Ask before you build, if in doubt
Describing what you want and being asked questions about it is not where the credits go. Building is. Talking it through first is close to free.
