Everyone is quoted off the same list.

A plan changes what a dollar buys, never what a thing costs.

Only the dollar column moves.

The list is frozen and versioned. It changes when we announce it, never while you're reading it — and Pingu quotes the number before it spends anything.

Domains

A domain isn't on the list

It's the one thing here we buy instead of make.

  • Quoted live, never listedA frozen price for a thing that moves is just a wrong price.
  • Your plan can't discount a nameA plan discounts our work, so the credits move and the money doesn't.
  • Free credits can't reach itA name is paid for in money, and a free credit isn't money.

Example quotes, not a list — a name is priced the day you ask for it. Next year's number is on the table, not in a footnote. Change plan: the credits move, the money doesn't.

Free

Free credits can't buy a domain

Not a rule someone remembers to apply. A field on every credit, and a test that proves it.

CreditExpiresBuys a domain
Free Given to you — signup, promo, goodwill. Spent first, so nothing expires unused. yes no
Bought You paid for these, on a plan or as a top-up. never yes
Bonus Goodwill, or a promotion. Follows the money that earned it. never yes

A domain is settled in money the day you ask for one, and a free credit isn't money. That is why the free tier can be the size it is600 credits, and a page live on a .pingu.fyi subdomain.

What a dollar buys

The saving is a bigger pile of credits, never a cheaper action for some people than others.

Pay as you go 100 credits per $1 at list +0%

No month, no minimum. Buy credits when you need them.

$10 / month 1,100 credits a month 110 per $1 +10%

Two site builds. Or one, with a GEO pass and 64 customer conversations.

$50 / month 6,000 credits a month 120 per $1 +20%

Sixteen site builds. Or ten, with GEO passes and 84 conversations.

$200 / month 26,000 credits a month 130 per $1 +30%

Sixty-nine site builds. Agencies, and people who ship a lot.

You change plan by saying so. Pingu sends the payment link into the conversation — it's the only web page you'll ever see.

Top-ups

One-off. They don't touch your subscription and they don't expire.

$10 1,0001,1001,2001,300 credits at your rate
$20 2,0002,2002,4002,600 credits at your rate
$50 5,0005,5006,0006,500 credits at your rate
$100 10,00011,00012,00013,000 credits at your rate

Your plan's rate applies here too — there is no separate top-up price. Credited the moment you buy, and they don't expire with the month.

The feature comparison

Here it is, in full.

Four columns of identical ticks would have told you nothing, so we deleted three of them.

Domains & transfers Website builder Ecommerce stores Commerce agents GEO & llms.txt Web3 TLDs & minting x402 payments Hosting, SSL and DNS Every AI host Source code export Spend limits & auto-reload Transfer out, any time

One line would have differed, so here it is written out: a domain needs credits somebody paid for. Free accounts build and host on a .pingu.fyi subdomain. Everything else on this list is on Free too.

Running out

Hitting zero doesn't take anything down.

It's the worst moment in any credit product, so here is the whole of it.

Your sites still up
Your domains still yours
Your agent still selling
Pingu waits for credit
Auto-reload

It's a sentence, not a setting

There's no dashboard, so there's no toggle to find. You say the rule and Pingu holds it — between steps, so a deploy never stops halfway.

Claude pingu · mcp
keep my balance above 500 credits, top up $20 when it drops
pingu · set_auto_reload floor 500 · add $20 armed

Done. Under 500 credits I'll add $20 — that's 2,400 credits on your plan — and carry on with whatever I was doing. You won't stop mid-build.

raise the monthly cap to $200

I can't do that from here. Raising a cap takes a confirmation we send you — check your email. Lowering it I can do right now.

The ceiling

Pingu can't spend credits you don't have.

That isn't a setting. Every spend draws from the ledger, and the ledger can't go below zero. No configuration loosens it.

  • Nothing inside a conversation can widen its own ceiling. Not a model, not a session, not a stranger talking to your shop.
  • Your shop agent has its own budget. Nobody reaches your card by asking your store a question.
  • A domain always quotes and waits. At any price, on every plan, every time.
  • Every top-up prints a receipt in the terminal you're already in.

The worst a bad day can cost you is a number you chose.

The questions everyone asks

01

What happens when I run out?

Your sites stay up, your domains stay registered, your agent keeps answering and keeps taking orders. Pingu stops making new things until there's credit again. Nothing is ever deleted over a zero balance.

02

Do unused credits roll over?

Plan credits reset when your month renews. Credits you bought as a top-up never expire — and they're spent last, so the ones with a clock on them go first.

03

If I cancel, do I keep my domains?

Yes. Always. They're registered to you, not to us — your details are on the record. Cancel, stop paying, walk away: the name is yours until it expires, and you can transfer it out by asking for the auth code.

04

Can I cash credits back out?

No — credits spend inside Pingu and aren't refundable to cash. That's the trade for a price list that doesn't move and a number on screen before every action. Anything you've registered stays yours regardless.

05

Why is a domain priced differently?

Because it isn't ours. Everything else on the list is work we do, so we can put a number on it and freeze it. A name is priced by its registry, on the day you ask, so we quote it live instead of pretending it holds still.

06

Do I need a card for the free tier?

No. 600 credits and a page live on a .pingu.fyi subdomain. Free credits can't buy a domain — which is exactly why there are that many of them.

No card. One page live.
Then decide.

Install the connector in whatever you already have open. The free tier is 600 credits and it doesn't ask you for anything.
