Machinations Credits and billing
Machinations plans include Credits for exploring models. This guide explains the current Credits terms. For current plan prices and included capacity, use the Pricing page, which shows the same plan choices as the app.
What are Machinations Credits?
Credits are the capacity used when you Play a diagram, forecast possible outcomes or work with the AI agent. Your available Monthly Credits and refill date are shown in Machinations.
What uses Credits?
A Play step costs more when the model does more work in that step: more resources move, more formulas are evaluated or more Nodes fire. Forecasts Play a model repeatedly, so a long forecast can spend more Credits than a single Play. The amount depends on the model and the work requested.
To manage usage, inspect the rules in your diagram, remove work the model does not need, and start with a shorter Play or forecast before exploring a larger range.
Does the AI agent use Credits?
Yes. Building with the AI agent spends Credits. If you run out, the app shows your available paths to continue, such as waiting for the next monthly refill, moving to a larger plan or buying Top-up Credits when your plan allows them.
Plans and Monthly Credits
The Community plan includes a standard monthly allowance and public diagrams. Paid plans add larger allowances and other capabilities. The current plan comparison is hosted from Machinations itself, so prices and plan features come from the same source as checkout.
Monthly Credits refill on your monthly allowance date. The app shows the next refill date and your remaining Credits.
Teams and shared work
Pro adds a team workspace, team administration and centralized billing. The plan comparison shows its per-member price and capacity. For your team's current balance, seats and billing, use the team's Billing view in Machinations.
Top-up Credits
Paid plans can buy Top-up Credits. The Community plan needs a paid subscription before Top-up Credits are available. Monthly Credits are spent first; Top-up Credits are spent after the monthly allowance runs out.
Top-up Credits are valid for one year. Available packs and their current prices are shown in the app when you buy them.
Billing cycle
Paid plans offer monthly and yearly choices. The plan comparison shows the current price for each choice. Prices exclude VAT; the amount due, including applicable tax, is calculated at checkout. Your Billing view shows your subscription and next allowance refill.
Change or cancel a subscription
Manage your plan in Machinations Billing. Review the effective date and any adjustment shown there before confirming a change or cancellation. If a billing change needs help, contact the Machinations team.
Immediate cancellation
The available cancellation options and their effective dates depend on your current subscription. Use the terms shown in Billing when making the change.
Proration
Any charge or credit adjustment for a plan change is shown in the app's billing flow before confirmation. Do not use an older example calculation to predict the amount on your invoice.
