Credit packages
Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. We pass this through transparently rather than absorbing it or hiding it in markup.
Beta feedback refunds
We're in beta and actively improving. If the AI gives you a bad response, downvote it and your credits are refunded. This incentivizes honest feedback and helps us improve — we'd rather know what's broken than keep your tokens.
FAQ
What's free?▼
Everything except AI-powered features. Deck building, search, collection tracking, and analytics charts are always free. Only AI chat, recommendations, deck analysis, and semantic search use credits.
What if I run out of credits?▼
You'll see a friendly message asking you to add more. All non-AI features keep working. Your decks, collection, and data are never locked behind a paywall.
Can I see my usage?▼
Yes — your profile shows your current balance, usage history per action, and total tokens consumed. Full transparency.
Do credits expire?▼
No. Credits never expire.
Affiliate disclosure
We earn a small commission when you purchase cards through our TCGplayer links. This is our other revenue source alongside the token markup. It helps keep the lights on without charging you more for the AI.
