# Payment

Every instance starts with 7 free days, no card. Prices are per pod, in USD, monthly or yearly — current numbers come from `GET /api/tiers`:

| plan | monthly | yearly | resources |
|---|---|---|---|
| `tiny` | $2.49 | $24.90 | 1 GB RAM · 1 vCPU · 4 GB disk |
| `small` | $4.99 | $49.90 | 2 GB RAM · 2 vCPU · 6 GB disk |
| `medium` | $9.99 | $99.90 | 4 GB RAM · 2 vCPU · 8 GB disk |
| `large` | $17.99 | $179.90 | 8 GB RAM · 4 vCPU · 16 GB disk |

Model inference is not included: the pod uses the key you install.

## Card, via Gumroad — verified

1. `GET /api/subscriptions/providers` → `providers[0].buyUrls` has one Gumroad link per plan.
2. The buyer pays there and receives a licence key by e-mail.
3. `POST /api/agents/:id/activate` `{ "licenseKey": "…" }` — the subscription becomes active and the trial clock stops. Gumroad's own webhook also activates it without this call when the buyer's e-mail matches the account.

`GET /api/subscriptions` lists subscriptions with `status` and `currentPeriodEnd` (= paid till).

## USDT / USDC on Ethereum — beta testing

1. `GET /api/crypto/info` → `{ enabled, chainId: 1, assets: [usdt, usdc] }`.
2. `POST /api/agents/:id/crypto-order` `{ "asset": "usdt" }` → a deposit address and the exact amount. **Create the order before sending anything**: the address is shared per account and the order records the balance at that moment as its baseline; a transfer sent earlier raises the baseline and pays for nothing.
3. Send the amount; `GET /api/agents/:id/crypto-orders` shows `pending` → `paid`. Confirmation follows the chain, usually minutes.

Status: beta testing. The "order → confirmation → activation" pattern is verified through card payments; the crypto path itself is still being tested.

## Telegram Stars — beta testing

`GET /api/stars/info` → `{ enabled, botUsername, starUsd }`; `POST /api/agents/:id/stars-order` → a payment link to open in Telegram; `GET /api/agents/:id/stars-orders` for status. In beta testing; the card is the proven way for now.

## What happens if you do not pay
