A guided path through plans and paying: what Free includes and Premium adds, Zaryn credits and USDC, renewal and organizations, receipts and payment safety, and your content, data and the house rules in plain words. Pictures first, every step explained.
Everything about plans and paying, then the rules in plain words. Prices are always on the [Billing page](/billing), next to what you've used.
## 1. Start free
```diagram
type: stats
title: The Free plan, across Zaryn
---
∞ | public repositories | 5 private, 2 GB in all | |
400 | CI minutes a month | 2 CPUs, 4 GB a step | |
10 | network devices per site | every check, the twin, rollouts | | accent
500 MB | packages and images | public; mirrors never count | |
```
Every product has a Free plan you can use for real work, not a trial: repositories, CI, packages and mirrors, file sharing, network sites, virtualization, the proxy. Nothing to pay to start, and nothing is deleted if a limit is reached: you're told, and can choose what to do.
## 2. What Premium adds
```diagram
type: cards
---
🕸 | Private networks | A WireGuard mesh for your devices | accent
🔒 | Private packages and images | Only you or your organization can install them |
📈 | Room to grow | 10,000 CI minutes, 100 GB for packages, up to 1,000 network devices | good
🌊 | Safer big changes | Canaries, waves and maintenance windows for rollouts; failure drills on the twin |
✍ | Proof for audits | Change certificates on design repositories; a year of device-access recordings |
🧮 | Deeper analysis | Availability, capacity and disjoint-path intents; multi-arch image builds; semantic search |
```
The full list, with today's prices, is on the [Billing page](/billing).
## 3. Credits: a prepaid balance
```diagram
type: flow
title: Dollars in, Premium out
---
Pay USDC | From any wallet, on Solana or Base | | 💵
~ credited once the network confirms it
Credits | 1 credit = 1 US dollar, in your account | accent | 🪙
~ buy, then renew automatically
Premium | For a month or a year | good | ✦
```
Credits aren't a token or currency: they live in your Zaryn account, can't be transferred or cashed out, and only pay for Zaryn. Prices are in dollars, so a credit is always worth exactly one.
## 4. Top up
```diagram
type: flow
title: From the Billing page, in under a minute
---
Choose | An amount and a network | | 🧾
~ Get payment details
Pay | Scan the QR code or open the link in your wallet | accent | 📱
~ the network finalizes it
Credited | Usually well within a minute; the page updates by itself | good | ✓
```
Send **only USDC**, only on the network you chose.
## 5. Solana or Base
```diagram
type: cards
---
🟣 | Solana | A Solana Pay request: amount, address and the invoice's reference filled in for you (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack…) | accent
🔵 | Base | Scan or open the link in an Ethereum wallet (Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Rabby…), or send exactly the amount shown | good
🔢 | Exactly that amount | On Base, a unique tail of a few millionths of a dollar tells Zaryn which invoice you paid: send it to the last digit | warn
```
## 6. When something's off
```diagram
type: cards
---
⏰ | Paid late | A payment that arrives after the invoice's timer still counts | good
➖ | Paid less | What arrived is credited; top up the rest |
❓ | Wrong amount on Base, or no invoice | Kept safe for review: contact support with the transaction | warn
```
## 7. Buy Premium, and let it renew
```diagram
type: flow
title: Set and forget, or not
---
Buy | A month or a year, from your credits | accent | ✦
~ when it ends
Renews | From your balance, automatically; you can turn that off | | ↻
~ a day before, if credits are short
Reminder | A notice, so it doesn't lapse by surprise | warn | 🔔
```
## 8. Organizations pay for the team
```diagram
type: cards
---
🏢 | Their own credits | An organization has a balance separate from its members' | accent
👑 | Owners and admins | Top it up and buy Premium for the whole organization |
🤝 | Everyone benefits | The organization's repositories, sites and networks get Premium | good
```
## 9. Every payment, on record
```diagram
type: cards
---
📜 | History | Every top-up, charge, refund and bonus, with the balance after each | accent
🧾 | Receipts | A printable receipt for every payment |
📊 | Usage | What you've used against your plan, on the same page |
```
## 10. How payments are kept safe
```diagram
type: graph
title: Where the money goes, and who can move it
alt: Your wallet pays the company's multisig treasury; Zaryn's servers only read the blockchain and credit your account
height: 34
---
node wallet | your wallet | 12 16 | user | | You sign the payment
node treasury | multisig treasury | 50 16 | lock | accent | No single key, and none on Zaryn's servers
node servers | Zaryn's servers | 88 16 | server | good | Only read the blockchain: each transfer credited exactly once
link wallet treasury | USDC | path
link servers treasury | read only | ghost
```
Zaryn's servers never hold keys that can move money. Every balance change is a permanent ledger entry. Payments from addresses on sanctions lists are held for review, as the law requires.
## 11. Your content stays yours
```diagram
type: cards
---
©️ | You keep the rights | To everything you upload: code, models, datasets, packages, comments | accent
🏠 | Used only to run the service | Hosting, serving, backing up, pinning to IPFS when you ask |
🌐 | Public means public | Anyone may view and copy public content; what's published to IPFS can't be pulled back from copies | warn
```
## 12. Your data
```diagram
type: cards
---
🚫 | Never | No selling personal data, no ads, no training models on your private content | good
🔍 | Visits | Counted without cookies; detailed logs kept 90 days, then only daily totals |
🙋 | Your rights | See, correct, export or delete your data, mostly yourself in Settings | accent
```
## 13. The house rules
```diagram
type: flow
title: If something's wrong
---
Report | Report on any repository or profile; reports are confidential | | 🚩
~ reviewed
Action | From a request to fix it, to hiding content or suspending an account; nothing deleted yet | warn | ⚖
~ if we got it wrong
Appeal | Reviewed by a different person; content can be restored | good | ↩
```
The short version of the rules: no malware or phishing, no abusing the infrastructure (mining in CI, many accounts), no infringing or illegal content, no harassment or spam, and one account per person.
