No balance pays for another.
Free work
Editing a timeline or a canvas, reading what is already stored, searching, comments, boards, calendars and public links cost nothing. One canvas edit is the exception: a subject mask reads the photograph and uses cloud processing.Cloud processing
Cloud processing is work on Eversince’s servers. It runs the same from any host, needs nothing open on the user’s side, and a job carries on after the call ends, reported byget_jobs or a webhook. Through the desktop app, work the app can do on the user’s computer runs there instead, at no charge. See Desktop and cloud.
Reading and quoting
get_balancereturns all three balances and where more can be added.estimate_costquotes any planned call in the same units, free, from the same rates the charge uses.- Every tool description ends with what the tool costs: free, credits or cloud processing.
- A response that used cloud processing carries
cloud_processing: what the call used and what is left. Cloud work is charged to the caller’s own minutes without confirmation, whoever owns the workspace.
Charged calls and retries
A call that charges, in credits or minutes, takes anidempotency_key generated for that operation. The same key on a retry returns the work already dispatched. A new attempt takes a new key. A charged call sent without a key is charged again when it is retried. On the REST API the key can also be sent in the Idempotency-Key header.
Buying more
get_checkout_link returns a checkout URL for a plan, credits, minutes or storage. The user opens it and pays there. A purchase the account cannot make is refused with the reason. When a balance runs out, the error carries the link where the user can buy more.
