Pricing
You pay for compute. Nothing else.
No seats, no minimum, no annual commitment. Credits meter the work that spends money, at close to what it costs us — and the tools that cost us nothing stay free for everyone, forever.

Biotech, CRO and pharma
Deployment inside your own network, data residency in your region, private model registries, and volume pricing on committed spend. Research data is never used for training.
What a credit buys
Measured, not illustrative.
A run costs what it consumes. The same job on a 2,000-residue complex costs twenty-five times what it costs on a small one, so that is what you are charged — rather than an average that overcharges the small jobs to subsidise the big ones.
Any database lookup — UniProt, PDB, KEGG, MGnify

Free, and always
- Fold a small protein and look at the structure
- Pull any experimental or predicted structure
- Search sequences, papers and compound databases
- Compute molecular properties and descriptors
Structure lookup, sequence analysis, molecular descriptors, literature search and database queries never consume credits — they cost us nothing to run.
How the meter works
- One credit
- $0.001
- Charged per run
- 1.40× cost
- What we keep
- ~12%
The gap between the two covers failed runs you are not billed for, card fees, and the servers holding it together. Every run records what it cost us next to what it cost you, on your usage page
Running long?
Top up without changing plan.
Bought credits never expire and are spent only after the month's allowance, so buying early never wastes what you already have.

Before you decide
The things people ask.
- What happens when I run out?
- Metered runs stop; the free tools keep working. You can buy credits outright or wait for next month's allowance — nothing is deleted and no job is half-charged.
- Do credits expire?
- Credits you buy never expire, and they are spent only after the month's allowance is gone. Topping up early never wastes what you already have.
- Am I charged for a failed run?
- No. If a job fails or you stop it, you keep whatever it produced and you are not billed for the attempt.
- Is my data used for training?
- Never. Sequences, structures and compounds you submit are used to answer your question and for nothing else — not by us, not by anyone downstream.
