Builds and credits

A build is the act of running the fill engine against a template: it reads a fill.json, resolves every field and variable, and produces a finished .pptx. Each successful build consumes one credit.

What costs a credit

  • One successful build = one credit. Credits are spent when a build moves to started (i.e., when you press Build deck in the web UI or call POST /builds/{id}/start via the API).
  • If the build fails, the credit is automatically refunded — you only pay for what you receive.

What is free

Uploading templates, running the catalog scan, annotating fields, editing the working fill, and creating draft builds are all free. You can iterate on a fill as many times as you like before pressing Build deck.
