FAQ

Common questions about Prisms, billing, models and the API are all here. Can't find an answer? Leave a message on the contact page.

What are Prisms?
Prisms are Refractnest's unified billing points. No matter which generative AI you call, everything settles in Prisms — no per-provider currency conversion. The Prisms consumed per generation depend on the channel; see the full table on the Pricing page.
How is billing done? Does the free quota expire?
We use a "two-bucket" model: the daily GRANT bucket is your free quota, topped up daily and reset to zero at 00:00 (no carryover); the purchased BALANCE bucket is the points you top up and never expires. The system always deducts the free bucket first, keeping what you paid for last — fully transparent.
Which models / channels are supported?
The hub connects every major generative AI behind it. The "Image" modality is live (Forge V8 / V7 / V6, Prism series); Text (Lumen series), Video, Audio, Realtime and Vector modalities are rolling out. Models coming, going or changing price are handled by the hub — your code stays the same. See the Models page for the latest list and health status.
How do I integrate the API?
Create an API key in Console, send it in the request header, and hit the hub's unified endpoint. The request/response format is consistent on the outside, and the hub dispatches to the best, healthiest channel for you. Full examples and parameters are on the Docs page.
Is there a free quota? Do I need a credit card?
Yes. Sign up and get 50 free Prisms daily — no credit card needed to start playing. Hooked and out of quota? Just top up a pack on Billing; purchased points never expire.
Is this site a live production service?
It is currently in developer preview: accounts, plans, subscriptions and points are real data; the generation API and some features (contact-form email, password reset) are rolling out.
