Token System

Transparent $0.25 per token pricing with pay-as-you-play billing. Only pay when your Game Save is running and ready for players.

Fair, Transparent Pricing

We use only high-end Google Compute Engine infrastructure. However, cloud pricing is complicated and hard to reason about. We abstract all of that away and use a simple pricing model based on a 25 cent token.

Like an arcade, you buy tokens and spend them only when playing. No monthly fees, no hidden costs, no commitments. You're only charged when your Game Save is actually playable. We don't charge for storage, bandwidth or anything else.

How Token Billing Works

Each machine configuration has a price in tokens per hour. Billing is calculated by the minute and rounded down, so you only pay for what you actually use.

Simple Billing

  • Billing calculated every minute
  • Rounded down in your favor
  • No hourly minimums or commitments
  • Stop playing, stop paying immediately
  • Transparent usage tracking in dashboard

Only Pay When Playable

  • No charges during server startup
  • No charges during restarts or updates
  • No charges during outages or failures
  • Billing starts when health checks pass
  • Billing stops when server becomes unavailable
