How it works

Credits move only when you use them

1

Use

Every anchor and verification deducts credits as it happens — no reservation, no minimum.

2

Track

Metered usage is recorded against your client id in real time and visible in the console.

3

Pay later

At the end of the monthly cycle you settle only for the credits you actually consumed.

FAQ

Billing questions

Is the Capture App really free?

Yes. Capturing, signing, and anchoring proof from the app is free for everyone. Metering applies only when your own backend calls the hosted API with an API key.

What exactly is metered?

Successful anchors, batch records, and verifications made through the developer API. The Capture App's own anchors are free.

How do I unlock the console?

Sign in, then complete the one-time verification payment shown in the console. The amount is an authorization check — pay it by UPI QR or any UPI app, and it is refunded to you once the payment is matched. A billed account that goes unpaid for a full monthly cycle is suspended until it renews.

Do you charge for retries?

No. Anchoring is idempotent: re-anchoring the same image hash for the same client returns the existing record. Failed chain submissions are retried without extra charge.

Can I see usage before I am billed?

Yes. GET /credits/balance, /credits/usage and /credits/transactions expose your balance and every metered event, and the console shows the same data.
