Is Orkas free?
Yes. You can use Orkas without a subscription and get 500 bonus credits, Orkas built-in models and models using your own API Key, Claude Code and Codex integrations, and core features. Free accounts also include project collaboration: up to 5 shared projects with up to 5 members each, including the owner, and 100 MB of cloud storage for them. Subscribe for multi-device sync, more cloud storage and collaboration, web apps, and monthly credits. New users claim their welcome credits by signing in to the desktop app; web login does not grant them.
What capabilities does Lite unlock?
Lite includes 0–50,000 monthly credits, 1 GB of cloud storage shared by personal sync and owned projects, multi-device sync, and 50 collaborative projects with up to 50 members each including the owner. For cloud sync, project collaboration, web apps and more.
What is the difference between Pro and Max?
Pro includes 0–50,000 monthly credits, 5 GB of cloud storage, and 50 projects with up to 50 members each. Max includes 0–50,000 monthly credits, 10 GB, and 50 projects with up to 50 members each. Both include multi-device sync; member limits include the owner.
What are monthly credits used for?
Monthly credits cover Studio Agent work, model input and output, speech, connectors, and optional generation-model calls. ImageStudio and VideoStudio can compose locally without image or video generation APIs; those jobs mainly use credits for Agent planning, code, review, and repair. Generation-model calls are charged separately when used.
How do monthly and lifetime credits differ?
Monthly credits refresh at each renewal and unused credits do not roll over. Lifetime credits remain valid. Monthly credits are used first, followed by lifetime credits.
How is cloud storage shared by sync, projects and published apps?
Lite, Pro and Max provide 1 GB, 5 GB and 10 GB per account. Personal cloud-sync data, shared projects you own (including teammates’ uploads), and published web-app files and databases share this space. The 50-project, 50-member-per-project and 50-published-app limits do not grant extra space per project, member or app. Joining someone else’s project uses neither your owned-project slots nor your cloud storage; its owner provides the space. Free includes 100 MB across your own shared projects, up to 5 projects and 5 members per project including the owner, without personal multi-device sync or app publishing. Local-only data does not use cloud storage.
What happens when cloud storage is full?
Operations that need more cloud space are blocked: growing sync data, project uploads, new or larger app publications, and app database growth. Your local data remains usable. While membership is active, existing published apps remain accessible, but writes needing more space may fail. Free space or choose a plan with more storage, then retry. Buying credits does not increase storage. Membership expiry follows the separate retention policy.
Does cloud sync change Orkas' local-first model?
Orkas remains local-first by default. Lite cloud sync is optional, and synced data is stored on Orkas servers for multi-device access. Model traffic follows the path you choose: Orkas built-in models use Orkas services, while calls using your own provider go directly to it.
When do plan changes and cancellations take effect?
Buying the same or another membership plan starts a new monthly cycle immediately after successful payment. Remaining time and monthly credits are not refunded or credited; lifetime credits are unchanged. A subscription repurchase resets the existing subscription. Buying a one-month plan stops the previous automatic renewal. Canceling without replacing keeps benefits until the paid period ends.
What does a struck-through price mean?
The struck-through price is the standard price shown for comparison with the current discount. The checkout page shows the amount you will actually pay.
Which payment methods are supported?
Stripe Checkout: Subscriptions support cards and Link; one-month plans and credit packs also support Alipay. Available methods are shown at checkout.
What should I do if I have a problem after payment?
If your benefits have not arrived after payment, you were charged twice, or you have another payment issue, email [email protected] with your Orkas account, payment time, and order details so we can investigate and help.
