Usage
Playbooks uses a usage-based credit system to unlock and download marketplace content. Our goal is to balance open-source accessibility with fair creator compensation.
Philosophy
- Traditional marketplaces introduce unnecessary friction for developers.
- Playbooks mirrors the collaborative and accessible nature of open source.
- Credits provide a seamless way to monetize expertise within existing workflows.
How it Works
Credits are the primary currency for accessing premium content and are managed via your subscription.
- Subscriptions: Every paid tier includes a monthly credit allotment.
- Metered Discounts: High-volume usage beyond your allotment is available at a discount.
- Credit Rollover: For Pro accounts, unused credits will rollover to the next month.
- Free Exploration: Browsing profiles, interacting with demos, and community engagement cost nothing.
- Unlocking Value: Credits are only consumed when you unlock the full source code or download a play.
Activity | Credit Cost |
