Credits

AI calls in chainz are paid with credits. Building flows, editing them, storing files and managing schedules are free; only calls to models and paid services use credits.

#Whose credits

• Work in your personal projects uses your own credits.
• Work in a team project uses the team's credits. A team's Owner or Admin buys them.

Your balance shows at the bottom of the sidebar. Click it, or Credits, to open Credits & Billing.

#What a call costs

Each call is charged from what the provider charges for it, plus a small platform margin, rounded up to the next credit. Every call costs at least 1 credit. The model catalogue shows each model's provider price, and every run's Provider calls in History show what it actually used.

Welcome credits: 100 on your first sign-in. Credits do not expire.
