Question 1

What are Mana Credits?

Accepted Answer

Mana Credits are the currency used in Grimoire to access premium AI models. 1 Mana Credit equals $1 USD, so there is no conversion math involved. When you use a paid model, the actual token cost is deducted from your balance. For example, if a request to GPT-5.2 costs $0.035 in tokens, that exact amount is deducted from your Mana Credits. You can view the cost per model in your dashboard.

Question 2

How does the Free plan work?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan gives you permanent access to all free-tier AI models with up to 50 requests per day. No credit card required, no time limit. When you hit the daily limit, requests reset after 24 hours. Want more throughput? You can upgrade to 1,000 requests per day on free models for $10/month, or purchase Mana Credits starting at $20 to unlock all 200+ paid models.

Question 3

How does BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) work?

Accepted Answer

With BYOK, you connect your own API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google and use them directly through Grimoire. On the Pay As You Go plan, your first 1 million requests per month are included at no extra cost. On Enterprise, that threshold goes up to 5 million. Beyond that, each additional request is charged from your Mana Credits at the provider's actual token cost.

Question 4

Do Mana Credits expire?

Accepted Answer

Each deposit of Mana Credits is valid for 365 days from the purchase date. When you buy credits, they go into a bucket with its own expiration. If those credits are not fully used within that window, the remaining balance in that bucket is forfeited. Credits are always consumed from the oldest bucket first, so earlier purchases get used before newer ones. We send email reminders before any bucket expires.

Question 5

What happens when I run out of Mana Credits?

Accepted Answer

You can still use free-tier models within your daily rate limit. To continue using paid models, simply purchase more credits starting at $20. We send email notifications when your balance is running low so you are never caught off guard.

Question 6

Can I switch plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can switch between plans at any time. If you upgrade from Free to Pay As You Go, your purchased Mana Credits are immediately available. If you downgrade, any unused credits remain in your account. Enterprise customers should contact their account manager for plan changes.

Question 7

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) processed securely through Stripe. Enterprise customers can also arrange invoice-based billing and bank transfers. All transactions are encrypted end-to-end.
