What it costs

EnginePrice
topaz20 cr
crisp1 cr

These prices are at a default length: the price follows the length of your text or file, and the exact price shows before the job runs. The playground shows the exact price for your settings. A job is charged once when it is accepted, and refunded if it fails. The price is checked again with your file before it runs.
