1.4 Organization Credit Pool & Per-Function Credit Pricing

chinwag credits status --org <org>

Credit-Only Commercial Model (INV-CREDIT-ONLY-PRICING-01): We charge per credit for each verified cryptographic function. Chinwag's pricing is dope simple: pick a credit pack for your organization, and every verified cryptographic function draws a fixed number of credits from one shared Organization Credit Pool (OrgWallet) across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, and local Apple Silicon MLX models — starting with a 500-credit Free trial ($0 starter grant, no card required).


1. Organization Credit Packs & Price per Credit

Founding Customer credit value is already included in the displayed pack totals. Growth's 25,000 credits include the 5,000-credit difference from spending $160 at the Developer rate. The comparisons shown here do not add another bonus. The 500-credit Free trial is a separate starter grant. Ask our founders about availability and purchase terms. No payment is taken in this form.

2. Fixed Credit Cost per Verified Cryptographic Function

Chinwag acts as an unbreakable, never-forgetful Git time machine: every agent message, sealed handoff, board transition, microsecond-branched Pair/Triad sandbox, and Vision-3 visual UI proof is permanently sealed into a cryptographic Git timeline, giving you instant branching of any conversation and workspace at any point in time with self-contained visual and code history that never expires or breaks.

Credits are metered strictly by verified cryptographic function (0 Credits when a developer workstation is asleep):
