Fees & Credits
Flip has one cost layer today: credits pay for Flip's AI planning work. Swaps and bridges currently carry no Flip execution fee.
Credits — Flip's AI work
Credits meter the AI. $1 = 100 credits.
- Informational conversation: 1 credit per message (questions, explanations, a clarifying question Flip asks back, a refusal).
- Execution work: 5 credits when Flip delivers a ready-to-sign transaction plan or an owner-requested Wallet Checkup refresh. Creating an Agent from the Agents surface is free today. If a Prepare Agent later fires and drafts a ready-to-sign plan, that delivered plan costs 5 credits; Notify-only monitoring and alerts are free. An empty or refused run stays at 1. First-time Wallet Checkup scans are free.
Getting credits. Every wallet you connect and verify gets 50 free credits; linking Telegram adds 200 more (once). Credits are pooled across your linked wallets, so a run can spend from the next linked wallet balance if the first one is empty. Beyond that you can top up with a card (Stripe) or an on-chain transfer.
Execution fee
Currently zero. Flip does not charge a fee on swaps or bridges right now.
Router and network costs
Flip routes orders through third-party infrastructure, and those parties have their own costs. Flip adds nothing on top — but you should know what's inside a quote:
- Router fee (EVM). Many EVM swaps and bridges route through LI.FI, which can charge its own fee. When a route uses LI.FI, that fee is included in the quoted output — the number you see is what arrives. Some protocol-native routes, like supported Pendle actions, do not use LI.FI.
- DEX / AMM fees. Every swap fills through liquidity pools that charge a trading fee, typically a few hundredths to a few tenths of a percent depending on the pool. On Solana, Jupiter itself adds no aggregator fee — pool fees are the only trading cost. Already reflected in the quote.
- Bridge provider fees. Cross-chain routes pay the bridge's own relayer or protocol fee, which varies by route and size. Also already inside the quoted output.
- Network gas. Paid to the chain, estimated in the Action Plan before you sign.
- Pendle trades. Pendle's own AMM fee is surfaced separately in the Action Plan.
Everything above is shown in the Action Plan before you sign — the quote you approve is net of the route-level costs Flip can quote.
Pricing visibility
Any costs on a route are displayed in the Action Plan before you sign. Your credit balance and per-action cost are shown in the app. No hidden cuts.
What's coming
- Flow revshare — creators who author and share flows get a cut of platform fees from runs attributed to their share link.
- API + SDK — the private-beta API uses the same credits rails; SDK packaging and final GA pricing come later.
