Payment System

🚀 Coming soon!

Soon we'll be introducing a credit-based payment system to make transactions on the platform smoother and more flexible.

How it works

At Vertical AI we believe paying for compute power should be as easy as streaming a movie.

That’s why every text prompt, image generation or model-fine-tune on Vertical Stream runs on one simple, transparent fuel:

1 Platform Credit = $0.01 of AI power

No complicated token counts, no surprise bills, just buy the number of credits that fits your style and start creating. Below is everything you need to know in five quick bites.

Our products make AI cheaper in general as it leverages decentralized compute for it’s

2. Free credits that keep you coming back

• 7-Day Free Trial New account? Enjoy 10 free credits every day for a week. Test any model you like: text, image, audio or video, with zero commitment.

• Daily Reloads (subscribers only) Active subscription holders wake up to bonus credits every 24 hours (Starter = +1, Pro = +10). Perfect for quick questions, small edits or a last-minute idea.

Unused daily bonuses expire at the end of the month—so drop in often and get the most from your plan!

Why credits beat pay-per-call

Old-school metering	Vertical Stream credits
Every model has a different dollar price.	One currency for everything. Ask GPT-style chat, upscale an image, fine-tune a model—all in credits.
Invoices arrive after you’ve spent.	Pre-paid safety. Your wallet balance goes down in real time, so you can’t overspend.
Hard to compare value across models.	Clear value. 100 credits = $1, always.

A quick example

Anna signs up for the Free Trial on Monday. She spends 8 of her 10 trial credits testing image prompts. On Tuesday her wallet reloads to 10 due to the free-trial free credits. She decides she wants to explore further and upgrades to Basic on Wednesday: 999 fresh credits drop instantly, plus she’ll still get her daily +10.

Mid-month her team lands a big project, so she grabs a 1 000-credit top-up pack for $13. Those extra credits are hers to use any time in the next 12 months. Easy.

FAQ in 60 seconds

Do my paid credits ever expire?

• Top-up packs: valid 12 months.

• Subscription bundle: good for that billing month.

• Daily/Trial bonuses: use-it-or-lose-it (they’re free!).

Can I transfer credits to a colleague or friend?

Credits stay with your account, but team plans are in the works—stay tuned.

How are credits priced when I pay with $VERTAI?

We check the live USD price of $VERTAI right at checkout, then add your 15 % bonus credits automatically.

What happens when my subscriptions package runs out?

Buy an add-on pack (fiat or $VERTAI) and it lands instantly. Subscribers can also wait for tomorrow’s daily reload (+1 or +10 credits depending on tier).
