Pricing

Simmit measures compute usage in credits. Verified accounts receive a monthly credit allowance at no cost; additional credits are sold in packs. See Credits for how credit consumption is calculated.

#Credit packs

Flat rate across pack sizes: $0.00004 per credit, or $40 per million.

#Free monthly tier

New accounts start with one-time starter credits, and verifying a card unlocks a recurring monthly allowance at no cost. Your current balance is shown in your Credits activity.

#What you're paying for

A credit buys a completed simulation, run and returned, not a server you have to keep alive. You're metered on the sim itself and nothing else: only the seconds SimulationCraft actually runs, rounded up to the second. Queue time, worker setup, orchestration, and result upload cost you nothing, and you never pay for idle capacity between jobs.

What the rate covers is the work behind that: keeping capacity available to run your jobs, and the work of keeping it running. Hosting this yourself means paying for machines whether or not they are running sims, and owning that upkeep yourself. With Simmit, you pay for the sims, not the servers.

By default these credits come from your account. Each user can also bring their own key so their sims bill their account instead; see Pass-Through Billing if you're building a tool you want to keep free to run. For exactly what each job is metered on, see Credits.
