Plans

A plan buys a machine, model credit, or both.

Compute: the machine

These four buy hardware and nothing else. Models on them are paid from credit you top up yourself.

Credit: the models

These three add credit at the start of every month, spendable on any model in the catalogue. The machine stays at the Free size.

Bundle: both, on one invoice

A compute plan and the credit plan of the same size, for less than the two cost apart. The discount comes off the credit; the hardware is the same box as above.

Why credit costs more here than a top-up

It does, and by how much is worth naming: CHF 5.50 of credit costs CHF 5.90 on a plan, CHF 50.00 costs CHF 51.50. Topping up by hand carries only the 3 % currency buffer, so on the arithmetic alone the top-up wins.

What the plan buys is the route, not the rate. Topping up runs through MoonPay: a USD 20 floor, an ID check on every purchase, and a USDC wallet at the other end. A plan runs through Stripe on a card, with no floor and no crypto. That is why the markup is largest on Credit S, which sits below the floor and cannot be bought as a top-up at all, and smallest on Credit L, where both routes are open to you.

Running and agent run

Billing

Free

Needs no card.

Paid plans

Billed monthly through Stripe.

At checkout

The figure shown at checkout is the authoritative one, because it is what your card is charged.

Changing plan

Takes effect immediately, up or down. The part-month you have already paid for is settled on your next invoice.

One at a time

An account holds one subscription. Moving between plans is a change, never a second purchase.

Two meters

The meters stay separate: hardware never becomes credit, and credit never becomes a bigger machine. What a credit or bundle plan does is pay into the second meter on a schedule. Plan credit is spent before topped-up credit, and unused plan credit carries for three months.
