Delta designs and writes your backend system. You deploy the containers wherever you want. Managed environments are coming; they are not included yet.
Credits
Credits, priced up front
Credits are the unit for every agent run. They never expire and are shared across every project in your account. Every price is shown before you confirm.
Top up from $10
Credits never expire and work across every project in your account.
Held, then settled
Delta holds the estimated credits for a run, then settles the exact amount once it finishes. You are never charged for work that did not run.
Queued, not failed
A run starts while the balance is positive. Later runs queue instead of failing, are held for 30 days, and resume automatically once credits are available.
Auto top-up
Turn it on in billing settings to keep the wallet funded and avoid interruptions during long sessions.
One price, all in
The credit price covers the platform. There is no separate service fee on top of a run or a top-up.
Plans cost less per credit
A plan grants matching credits each month at a lower effective price than buying them on demand. It does not make runs unlimited or free.

What the free run covers
Enough to see the whole flow, from a prompt to generated code in your organisation.
- 100 chat messages for exploring the product
- The first architecture generation, with its system design diagram
- One service generated end to end, with its own design diagram
- Viewing generated code and inspecting diffs
- Reviewing and approving pull requests in GitHub
Beyond the first architecture and one service, generation needs credits. A subscription does not make runs unlimited or free.
Not included
You deploy the containers.
Delta designs and writes your backend system. You deploy the containers wherever you want. Managed environments are coming; they are not included yet.
Managed environments are on the roadmap. When they launch, they will be provisioned runtimes you deploy into, not deployments themselves. Infrastructure usage will be billed separately from credits.
Pricing questions
Do I need a subscription?
No. The assistant runs on wallet credits. You can buy credits on demand, or choose a paid plan with monthly credits. A subscription is optional for continued generation.
What happens if my wallet does not have enough credits for a run?
Delta estimates the credits a run needs before it starts. If the estimate is higher than your balance but the balance is positive, the run is started and upcoming runs are queued instead. They resume automatically once you top up enough credits, and you do not need to resend your prompt. A negative balance receives settlement invoices if auto top-up is not configured.
What happens when I upgrade?
An upgrade takes effect immediately. You are charged the difference between your current plan and the new one, shown before you confirm. Monthly credits are provisioned once per billing cycle, and you receive the credit difference for the current cycle at the time of the upgrade.
What happens when I downgrade?
A downgrade is registered immediately but takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Until then you keep every perk and credit of your current plan.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits never expire and are shared across every project in your account.
Is a plan cheaper than buying credits?
Yes. Credits bought on demand cost more per credit than the credits included in a plan. Every price and the full breakdown are shown before you confirm.
Is hosting included?
No. Delta designs and writes your backend system. You deploy the containers wherever you want. Managed environments are coming; they are not included yet.
What is free?
The first architecture and one service generated end to end, each with its design diagram. Viewing generated code, inspecting run diffs and change-set status, and reviewing pull requests in GitHub are free too. Generation beyond that needs credits.
Can I change plans at any time?
Yes, from the Billing tab in settings. Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades apply at the next cycle.
