Billing

Everything financial — plans, balance, subscriptions, referrals — lives in Profile → Billing. Fibe doesn't push monthly subscriptions on you. You hold a balance in two currencies and spend on action.

Wallet​

The Wallet holds your account balance. It's the page you'll see most often under Billing.

What the Wallet page shows​

  • Current balance in each of the two currencies (see below).
  • History — every credit and debit, with a description and a link to the resource that triggered it.
  • Pending charges — anything provisioned but not yet billed (e.g. a Marquee disabled mid-cycle).
  • Promotional credits tallied separately from paid balance, so you can see what came from grants, Runes, or referrals.

Top up​

From the Wallet page:

  1. Pick an amount, or pick a top-up pack (bundles at a small discount).
  2. Pay via the billing provider shown in the checkout flow.
  3. Balance credited — usually immediately, sometimes after the provider clears the transaction.

You can also top up via:

  • A Rune (an invite or promotional code).
  • A referral payout.
  • An occasional grant the platform issues directly.

Auto-recharge​

Some plan tiers let you set an auto-recharge threshold: when the balance drops below the threshold, the configured top-up pack is billed automatically every N days. The plan card shows the recharge cadence.

Use auto-recharge for production setups where you don't want a Marquee disabled because the balance hit zero.

Mana​

Mana is the primary currency. Use it for anything persistent.

Mana spend categories​

  • Marquees — the base cost per tier. Charged on a recurring cadence as long as the Marquee is active.
  • Top-up packs — purchased as a bundle.
  • Other persistent infrastructure the platform exposes — disk, dedicated runner pools, account-level features.

Plan card​

The Wallet shows a plan card per Marquee tier. Each card has:

  • Effective per-Marquee cost — what you pay per month for one Marquee at this tier.
  • Fuel line — how many Marquees the balance can fuel for how many days (e.g. "this can fuel 3 Marquees for 14 days").
  • Features — what the tier includes (CPU/RAM, concurrent Playgrounds, dev-environment capacity).
  • Best-value markers when one tier is materially cheaper per Marquee than another.

Pick a tier when you add a Marquee, or upgrade a tier from the Marquee's own page.

Sparks​

Sparks are the bursty currency. Use them for one-off and premium actions.

Sparks spend categories​

  • Premium Genie features — larger context windows, faster models, higher rate limits inside a session.
  • Trick credits for paid execution modes (e.g. high-priority queue).
  • One-off purchases the checkout flow surfaces at the point of use.

Mana → Sparks conversion​

Convert Mana to Sparks at a fixed rate from the Wallet page. One-way: Sparks can't be converted back to Mana.

Convert when you hit a Sparks-only checkout but don't want to top up via the billing provider for a small amount.

Subscriptions​

If you're on a plan that includes recurring entitlements — a managed Marquee, a feature bundle, anything else billed on a cycle — those show up in the Active Subscriptions section of the Billing page.

Per-subscription columns:

  • Plan — what's being subscribed to.
  • Provider — the billing provider (e.g. card on file, third-party processor).
  • Period — current billing cycle dates.
  • Status — active, past due, cancelled, etc.

Manage (upgrade, downgrade, cancel) from the subscription's row.

Referrals​

Share your referral code with people who'd benefit from Fibe. When they sign up using your code, both sides get a credit.

The Billing page shows:

  • Your Code — the referral code unique to your account.
  • Referrals desc — a short description of the program (terms, payout, current promotion).
  • Referred — list of accounts that signed up using your code.

Credit posts to your Wallet once the referred account hits the qualifying milestone (typically: first paid top-up or first Marquee).

Runes​

A Rune is a single-use code that grants something — a top-up, a credit, a feature unlock, or a tutorial Marquee.

Types of Runes you'll see:

  • Invite Runes — issued during private beta and special launches.
  • Promotional Runes — given at events or with marketing campaigns.
  • Compensation Runes — issued by support when something went wrong.

Redeem from the Billing page. Once redeemed, a Rune is marked Used and the granted item posts to your Wallet or activates on your account.

The page shows:

  • Rune — the code, masked except the prefix.
  • Used — when (if) it was redeemed.

What's free​

You don't need to spend anything to:

  • Sign up.
  • Use a tutorial Marquee.
  • Author Templates privately.
  • Browse the Bazaar.
  • Open a standalone Genie chat on a tutorial Marquee.

You start spending when you add your first paid Marquee or buy a premium Sparks-priced action.

FAQ​

Do credits expire?

Paid Mana and Sparks don't expire. Promotional credits (from Runes, referrals, grants) usually do — expiration shown when applied. Check the Wallet history for exact dates.

Refunds?

Unused balance is refundable within a reasonable window after purchase. Specific items follow standard SaaS conventions. The checkout flow shows the policy.

Cheapest way to start?

Tutorial Marquee — free, platform-managed. When ready for real work, top up enough Mana for one Single Marquee for a month.

Sparks needed but I only have Mana?

Convert on the Wallet page at the fixed rate. Immediate. One-way.

What happens if my balance hits zero?

Persistent infrastructure (Marquees) gets disabled — existing Playgrounds keep running until next renewal cycle but new launches are blocked. Top up to re-enable. Auto-recharge prevents this.

Where do I see the invoice for a top-up?

The Wallet history row links to the invoice from the billing provider. Click the row.
