Buy credits when you need them. Credits are only used when Orchera-powered characters reply. Bring your own API key and pay nothing to Orchera.
1 normal character reply = 1 credit. More characters, longer replies, sources, images, and complex documents use more credits. You'll always see the estimated cost before a round starts.
No credit card required. Try Orchera-powered characters before buying credits.
Your free trial includes 20 total character replies across all chats — not 20 replies per chat.
