**What costs money?**

Every task the team executes — research, writing, coding, design, video — draws from your wallet proportional to the work. Chat replies cost fractions of a cent each. Background routines and heavy generation (images, long video clips) show their cost in the task thread.

**What's free?**

Reading dashboards, browsing past tasks and assets, receiving notifications, inviting teammates, managing settings, creating projects, and failed login attempts cost nothing.

**How do I track spending?**

Each completed task shows its exact cost on the task card. The wallet balance updates in real time. Settings > Billing shows the last 30 days of spend. You can set a monthly cap in Settings > Wallet.
