Wallet and top-ups
In short
Sapilon runs on one prepaid wallet that AI points, AWS hosting and expert time all draw from; the first 50 Build Server hours are free, there is no subscription and no seats, and the balance cannot go negative.
Everything in Sapilon is paid from a single prepaid wallet. No subscription, no per-seat licence, no annual commitment.
What draws from it
| Draw | What it is |
|---|---|
| AI points | Agent work; see points |
| AWS hosting | The Rehearsal and Live Servers, while they exist |
| Build Server | €1 an hour, after your organisation’s first 50 free hours |
| Expert time | Human review and hands-on work, priced by job size |
Topping up
Top up from the billing surface at any time. New accounts start with a small credit so you can get through Design before paying anything.
The balance cannot go negative
When the wallet runs out, work stops rather than accruing a debt. That is the deliberate trade: you can never be surprised by an invoice, but you can be interrupted mid-flow if you let the balance run down.
To avoid that: set an alert threshold so you are warned before it happens, and top up before starting a long piece of work like a data-migration drill.
Watching where it goes
Usage is itemised by project, by kind of draw, and by date. A project’s dashboard shows its own consumption, so “why did last week cost that much” is a question with an answer rather than an argument.
Stopping the meter
Hosting costs run while a Rehearsal or Live environment exists. If a project is paused, tearing down its environment stops that draw; points are only spent when the agent actually works. The Build Server stops itself about ten minutes after you stop working; past your first 50 free hours, that is also when its time is charged.
