Credits

Worldtable now runs on credits. You don't need an AI key, an OpenRouter account, or anything else set up to build a world or play in one. Sign in, and you have credits to spend.

How it works

• One credit is one turn, in any world, with the same wallet everywhere.
• Some things cost a little more: voice on a turn is 1 more, a picture is 2, a message to Hob is 1, and drafting a new world is 10. The full list is on the Credits page.
• Players pay for their own turns. If you build a world, your players' turns come out of their wallets, not yours. You spend your own credits on building.
• Failures are free. A turn the world never answers is given back, and so is a picture that fails to paint. Replaying narration you've already heard costs nothing.
• Your balance is in the corner. A small chip in the header shows what you have left, and the Credits page shows where every credit went.

What you start with

• 50 free credits for every account, old and new. That's a first world draft and about forty turns, or about fifty turns if you only play.
• If you had starter credit, whatever was left on it has been turned into credits on top. The old $1 starter keys are switched off.

Getting more

• Packs: 200 credits for $5, 450 for $10, 1,000 for $20. Bought credits never expire.
• Adventurer: 650 credits every month for $12, the cheapest way to play. Unused ones carry over for a month (you can hold up to 1,300), and they're spent before any you've bought. Cancel any time from the Credits page.
• Payments go through Stripe. We never see your card.

Your own AI still works

• Bring your own key (OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible provider) and your world runs on it: nobody spends credits there, and you choose its model.
• Your own Claude Code or Codex can still tell the story in a private world, for free.
• Worlds on credits use Worldtable's default models. Choosing a different model now takes your own key, because a turn on credits always costs one credit and some models cost us several times more.

Updated terms

The Terms and Privacy Policy have a new section on credits and payments, so you'll be asked to accept them again. The short version: ask within 14 days and we'll refund a purchase, minus anything you've spent from it, and if Worldtable ever shuts down we'll give 30 days' notice and refund the credits you bought and haven't used.
