Pricing questions.

§05 · FAQ
Q · 01

How do I add credits?

Purchase from your dashboard via PayPal. Pick a preset package or enter a custom amount between $1 and $500. Credits never expire.

Q · 02

Is there a minimum purchase?

No minimum. The custom-amount input accepts any value from $1 upward.

Q · 03

What happens if a job fails?

You're not charged for failed jobs. Credits are only deducted for successfully completed work.

Q · 04

How much do container jobs cost?

Container jobs use metered pricing — GPU-hour or CPU-core-hour rate × runtime, plus a $2.00 platform fee per run. CPU jobs default to $0.005/core-hour when the worker's CPU model isn't tier-priced.

Q · 05

How are encrypted jobs priced?

Encrypted jobs use base pricing — the server can't inspect the payload for token counting. Pricing stays predictable and your data stays private.

Q · 06

Can I get volume discounts?

Yes. Email sales@microdc.ai for custom pricing on high-volume usage. Significant discounts available for enterprise customers.
