How credits work
One pool of credits powers every agent. Plans are flat monthly allotments with a hard ceiling — unused credits do not roll over at the end of your billing period, and there are no metered overage charges.
- A completed Vortex review debits 1 credit; an applied Cyclone patch debits 1.
- Free includes 30 credits per month for all agents.
- Pro and Maelstrom are credit packs: buy multiple packs to multiply credits and the monthly price (e.g. 2× Pro = 3,000 credits @ $199.98/mo).
- Surge minutes for on-demand CI runners (public beta) come with paid plans each period while the subscription is active or trialing: 100 on Builder, 300 on Scale, 1,000 per pack on Pro, 3,000 per pack on Maelstrom (up to 20 packs); none on Free or Starter.
- Your period follows signup (free) or your Stripe renewal date (paid) — not the 1st of the UTC month. Change packs or plans anytime in the Stripe customer portal after you subscribe.
