I don’t know what I am doing, as I am just vibe coding. I asked the User Input to vibe code a Custom user interface wheel better than what Gemini was doing, and it spent my entire $20/month in one go. WTF. How can I build an agent like this? I am not a coder, and I thought this was going to be simple and easy. I am not impressed and not happy.
Hi @bluemarblepa,
Sorry to hear that.
There are two types of cost on MindStudio:
- Subscription: covers platform access so you can build, deploy, and run agents
- Usage: billed based on the AI model you choose in your agent’s Model Settings, at the same rate the provider charges, with no markup from us. If you prefer, you can also connect your own API keys in the Service Router to pay the model providers directly
When you sign up, you receive $1 in usage credits to test things out. Once those credits are used, usage costs are billed to your workspace’s balance.
Custom interface generation can burn through credits fast. We have a couple of tutorials that cover best practices for working with the Custom Interface Designer:
If you have a question about your workspace usage, feel free to email us directly at support@mindstudio.ai so we can go over the details.
