Pricing & costs

Credits for AI work.
Hosting for what runs.

The model we’re adopting keeps one prepaid AI balance separate from the monthly cost of running your approved assets. Optional human assistance is quoted on its own.

The model we’re adopting

One AI balance.
Hosting kept separate.

Prepaid GooRu credits fund eligible AI work across your Projects. Before you run an action, you see its credit cost and choose whether to proceed.

GooRu credits are service units for the AI work you request. Provider tokens measure the underlying processing. There is no fixed credit-to-token exchange, and you do not need to calculate tokens yourself.

Credit purchases are not open yet.Credit-pack amounts and AI-action prices are being finalised. The published rate card will show what each pack buys and what eligible actions cost before purchases open.

Credit model being prepared. Pack and action prices will be published before purchases open.

What each cost covers

Two different jobs.
Two separate costs.

AI credits help create and change the work. Monthly hosting keeps the approved asset running. One does not pay for the other.

When you request AI work

Credits pay for the AI work you approve.

Planning, drafting and other eligible AI actions draw from the same customer balance under the planned credit model.

Before work: Review the quoted credit charge and approve the action.

Manual work: Viewing and manual editing do not use AI credits.

A low balance: Add credits before requesting further paid AI work. Hosting has its own standing.

Completed assets: Credits fund AI actions; they do not guarantee a finished website or app.

Buying or using credits does not grant publication or activate hosting.

Talk through your project

While your approved asset is live

Hosting pays for keeping the asset running.

A monthly service: Hosting is agreed separately, with its own price and terms.

Matched to the asset: Traffic, storage, compute, data and support needs shape the plan.

Not paid with credits: Your AI balance is not a hosting allowance.

Other services: Domains, mailboxes, app stores and paid integrations are separate unless included in the agreed terms.

Running out of AI credits does not cancel separately paid hosting. Publication still needs your approval.
