Billing & credits
One balance in USD, drawn down per second. Everything on this page is the complete billing model — there are no other fees.
The credit balance
Your account holds a USD balance. Usage — GPU seconds, storage seconds, bandwidth bytes — draws it down continuously; top-ups push it up. The dashboard shows the balance, the current burn rate ($/hr of everything running) and the runway (balance ÷ burn).
What bills, when
| Resource | Rate | Bills while… |
|---|---|---|
| GPU instance, running | sheet price × GPUs, per second | state = running |
| GPU instance, stopped | $0 GPU + storage only | disk exists |
| Instance disk / volumes | $0.08/GB/mo ÷ seconds | allocated |
| Bandwidth in/out | $0.01/GB | transferred |
Worked example: an H100 SXM ($1.587/hr) with a 100 GB disk, running 2 h 17 m 08 s then stopped for the rest of the day:
GPU 8228 s x $1.587/3600 = $3.6272
disk 24 h x 100 GB x $0.08/730 h = $0.2630
total = $3.89Crypto top-ups
Billing → Add credits, pick amount and coin, send the exact amount to the generated address before the countdown expires. States you will see on the payment page:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| pending | waiting for your transaction to appear on the network |
| confirming | seen on-chain, waiting for confirmations |
| underpaid | partial amount received — the page shows exactly what is left to send |
| completed | credits added (you also get an email receipt) |
| expired / cancelled | window closed or cancelled — funds sent after expiry are handled by support |
Confirmation targets: TRON & Solana seconds, LTC ~2–5 min, ETH/USDT-ERC20 ~1–3 min, XMR ~20 min, BTC 10–30 min. Top-ups are throttled to 8 open payments per hour per account.
Hitting zero
When the balance reaches $0.00, running instances are stopped automatically (never destroyed) and you receive an email. Disks and volumes keep their data; storage billing can push the balance slightly negative until you top up. Deploys and starts require a balance of at least $0.10.
History & statements
Every transaction — debits per settlement window, top-ups with their on-chain reference — is listed under Billing with monthly subtotals. Export needs? The API exposes the same ledger as JSON.
Prices are fixed at deploy time: weekly market re-checks never change the rate of an instance that is already running.
