Credits, for art
Generating or editing an image calls a model, and each model has its own price. Volt shows it in credits on the model and on every Run button, and leaves out steps it already has cached. Everything else is free.

Questions about pricing
Do you take a share of my game's revenue?
No. Volt doesn't take a cut of what your games earn.
What happens to my games when the beta ends?
They're files on your Mac, so they stay yours, and so do your exports. We'll announce plans before the beta ends, and beta studios hear first.
Does the agent spend credits?
Never on its own. It builds the workflow, shows Run with the cost in credits, and waits for you to press it.
Why credits and not a price per image?
Model makers change their prices; a credit is the one unit we control. Each model's price in credits is on the model, and Run buttons price only what isn't already cached.
