Frequently Asked Questions
What's a credit?
1 credit = one standard message. Heavier actions cost a little more (web search 2, deep research 5, tool/file actions 2). Browser time is metered in hours on APEX PLUS. And a run that fails costs you nothing — you only spend credits when your duck actually delivers.
What happens if I downgrade?
Your duck never forgets you. Downgrades never delete memory — they only turn off recall features. Upgrade again and everything it learned is right there. Unused pool credits roll over one month; the daily drip resets fresh each day.
What is "bring your own key" on Pro Duck?
Connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or other API key at The Inlet and your messages run on your account — unmetered. Credits then only meter platform actions (research, tools, browser). Same deal on Flight Deck, where your ChatGPT or Claude subscription is the brain.
How do I pay?
Duckling and Pro Duck checkout is live — card payment via Stripe, monthly or annual (annual gets 2 months free). Your duck upgrades automatically the moment payment clears. APEX PLUS is set up personally — talk to us. Flight Deck and the APEX rungs open soon — join the waitlist below to be first in line.
