Know the cost before the fire starts.
Per-forge subscriptions, a visible Full Foundry bundle at $699/ month, a workload calculator for planning estimates, and a full credit policy — expiration, rollover, overage, failed runs, and export after cancel. Every credit-consuming run shows This run will consume ~X–Y credits and requires explicit CONFIRM.

Workload credit calculator
Pick a work type to see the planning estimate. Estimates are ranges — the run form shows the same range and requires CONFIRM before any credits are consumed.
This run will consume ~250–500 credits

Credit policy
How credits expire, roll over, overage is priced, failed runs are treated, and what happens to exports after cancel.
| Topic | Summary | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Credit expiration | Monthly allotments expire at the end of each billing period. | Subscription credits are granted at period start and expire when the period ends. Unused credits do not convert to cash. One-time top-up packs (when offered) expire 90 days after purchase unless the pack states otherwise. |
| Rollover | Up to 20% of unused monthly credits roll over once. | At most 20% of the period’s unused allotment may roll into the next billing period, and rolled credits expire at the end of that next period (no multi-month stacking). Enterprise committed-capacity plans may define custom rollover in the order form. |
| Overage price | $0.05 per credit after the monthly allotment is exhausted. | When a confirmed run would exceed remaining credits, we show the projected overage before you confirm. Overage is billed at $0.05 USD per credit (or the rate on your enterprise order form). You can decline overage and cancel the run with no charge. |
| Failed builds & retries | Platform faults are not charged; customer retries charge only after confirm. | If a run fails because of a platform or infrastructure fault (our side), consumed credits for that run are refunded to the period balance. Customer-initiated retries, re-specs, and re-runs after a fail-closed gate require a new estimate and a new CONFIRM; they consume credits only after you confirm. |
| Cancellation & export | Cancel anytime; finished work stays exportable for 90 days. | You may cancel a forge or Full Foundry subscription anytime; access continues through the paid period. Completed artifacts, reports, and seals remain available for export for 90 days after the subscription ends. Incomplete in-flight runs are stopped at period end; partial work that has not passed gates is not guaranteed exportable. See Refunds & Cancellation for billing refunds. |
Estimate, then CONFIRM
Build and design forms on each forge show the same credit range and block execution until you confirm. Open a form to try the gate.
