Modes and credits
What each check mode costs, how credits are charged, and what happens when you run out.
Vibefilo is pay as you go. Every check uses credits from your organization's balance, and your agent shows the cost before it runs.
What a check costs
| Mode | Credits | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | 15 | Blocker-level rules on current code and config. No live requests. |
| Normal | 50 | All security and privacy checks at code level, plus key accessibility rules. |
| Full | 100 | Everything at full depth, git history and live checks. |
Free credits
Every new organization gets 200 free credits, once. Welcome credits expire 60 days after they are granted, and purchased credits after 12 months.
Estimate before you run
Your agent can call vibefilo_estimate to get the cost of a mode without starting a run. Nothing is charged until vibefilo_start_audit.
Retries never charge twice
Each start is sent with an idempotency key. If a request is retried, for example after a network error, the same run is returned and credits are charged once.
When credits run out
The agent stops cleanly with an insufficient credits message and a link to the Usage page. Nothing is started and nothing is charged.
Check your balance
Your balance and every charge are on the Usage tab in Organization settings. Your agent can also call vibefilo_balance.
