Your balance sits top right
Top right in the bar sits your balance. Click it and you see your usage: what is left, and what it went to. Every line is an instruction you gave.
What things roughly cost
A small change is a few credits. A whole new app with an admin panel costs more. Just chatting with Mia costs almost nothing.
In practice the median user sits around forty credits per month, and the large majority stays under five hundred.
Free allowance and topping up
Every month you get a fixed number of credits for free. For most people that is enough to simply keep building.
Running short? Top up in two taps, no subscription, no fuss. You can also let it refill automatically once you drop below a threshold.
Frequently asked questions
Do my free credits expire?
The monthly allowance refreshes each month. Purchased credits stay.
Can I accidentally burn a lot?
You see an indication up front and the exact cost per instruction afterwards. Nothing runs silently.
