Pricing & AXGT
AxonOS is pay-as-you-go. You buy prepaid credits measured in minutes of desktop time and spend them only while a session is running. No subscription, no minimum commitment.
Pay with ETH. Save with AXGT.
How you're charged
⏱️Credits are minutes
Top up an amount, get a number of minutes. Unused minutes don't expire.
💓Billed per heartbeat
Active sessions deduct the time you actually use — spin down and the clock stops.
⚡Bigger GPU, faster burn
Cost scales with the GPU profile: minutes × GPU count.
GPU profile burn rates
| Profile | GPUs | Credit burn |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 1 | 1× |
| Medium | 2 | 2× |
| Large | 4 | 4× |
| Max | 8 | 8× |
A Small session spends 1 minute of credit per wall-clock minute; a Max session spends 8. See Launch a GPU session.
Ways to pay
| Currency | Notes |
|---|---|
| ETH | Primary rail. AXGT holders get a discount on the ETH price. |
| USDC | Fixed at $1, verified by transaction. No holder discount. |
| AXGT | Pay directly in AXGT, credited at live USD value plus a bonus — often the best value. |
How to top up, step by step: Buy compute credits.
AXGT holder discounts
When you pay in ETH, AxonOS reads your wallet's AXGT balance and applies a discount based on your tier. You keep your AXGT — just holding it lowers your price.
| Tier | AXGT held | Discount on ETH price |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 0 | 0 – 99 | 0% |
| Tier 1 | 100 – 999 | 5% |
| Tier 2 | 1,000 – 9,999 | 10% |
| Tier 3 | 10,000 – 99,999 | 15% |
| Tier 4 | 100,000+ | 25% |
Hold AXGT to discount ETH payments, or pay in AXGT directly for a value bonus. They're independent — pick whichever suits you.
Storage costs
A persistent home volume incurs a small charge while you're offline (about 0.05 minutes per GB per hour), deducted from your balance. Active sessions are billed for compute, not storage. Details and the data-retention policy: Files & persistent storage.
