Pricing
Three plans, paid once
Plans are credits. An answer costs ten to forty credits — see the table. Re-reading an answer you already have is free.

A plan is one payment for one month, in US dollars — even if you are reading part prices in euro. It is not a subscription: when the month is up it stops, nothing is charged again, and you buy another whenever you want one. The end date is on your account. See refunds.
All three plans read the same catalogue — every part in it priced, dated and checked. What a plan buys is how many answers, not how much of the shelf.

No Flip/Resale pricing is not on this plan — it is what Flipper adds.

Workshop

Everything in Flipper, and

What each thing costs
An answer is priced by its size, not by what it is worth to you. A build picks nine parts out of 569 and splits a budget across all of them; a pairing verdict is one line about two parts you named.
| Tool | One answer | Credits | A month of Builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flip | What a machine fetches used, less what the marketplace takes | 40 | No flipneeds Flipper |
| PC builder | A complete, compatible build from a budget and a goal | 40 | 6of them |
| Upgrade | What to change first on a machine you already own | 30 | 8of them |
| Compare | Two builds side by side, and what the difference buys | 20 | 12of them |
| Combos | A verdict on one processor and one card together | 10 | 24of them |
| Check a build | Whether a parts list fits together and what it draws | 10 | 24of them |
The last column assumes you spend a whole month of Builder on that one tool, and only on the tools Builder answers. Flipper gives 2 times as many and adds the one it does not, and Workshop does not count them at all.
A month’s credits are for that month and do not roll over; when the month ends, so do they. Saved builds stay saved whatever happens to your plan, and reopening one is always free.
