Pricing FAQ

Do mods or downloads cost anything?
AI requests spend credits based on measured usage. Every download is free, for you and anyone who grabs what you publish.
How much free server time do I get?
Every account gets 1 free hour of server time each day, and it resets at 00:00 UTC. After the free hour, server time costs 2.5 credits a minute, so your daily 200 credits cover about 80 more minutes. The window goes up with your plan: 1 free hour a day on Free, 4 hours a day on Orca Play at $6.99 a month, and 8 hours a day on Orca Pro and Orca Max.
How much does 4 hours a day cost?
$6.99/month, the same price every month, on Orca Play. It gives you 4 free hours of server time every day, 2,500 credits a month, the 200 free credits every account gets each day, and Orca Fast on the same 8 GB server. 94% of real play sessions finish inside 4 hours, so for most groups that is a whole evening on the server, every day. Orca Smart stays on Pro and Max.
What do paid plans add?
More server time every day and monthly credits. Orca Play is $6.99/month, the same price every month, with 4 free hours of server time a day, 2,500 credits per month, and Orca Fast. Orca Pro adds Orca Smart and 8 free hours a day with 7,500 credits per month, and costs $9.99 for the first month for eligible new customers, then $19.99/month. Orca Max includes 37,500 credits per month for $99.99/mo. No paid plan has a weekly or rolling 4-hour credit limit.
What happens when nobody is online?
A free server pauses when it is empty and your world is kept. Start it again and it boots back in about 30 seconds. Paused time never spends your free hour or your credits.
Can I upgrade later?
Any time. Orca Play takes your daily window to 4 hours for $6.99 a month, Orca Pro takes it to 8 hours and adds Orca Smart, or you can rent a bigger server from the hosting page. Upgrading never touches your world.
