Getting StartedAdding Credit

Adding Credit

Pulserun uses a prepaid credit model. No subscriptions, no monthly fees.

How It Works

  1. Add credit to your Pulserun wallet via Stripe
  2. Launch GPU instances — balance decreases in real-time (per-minute billing)
  3. Balance hits $0 → all instances auto-terminate
  4. No risk of unexpected bills

Minimum Top-Up

  • Minimum: $5.00
  • No maximum — add as much as you need
  • Payment methods: All major credit/debit cards via Stripe

Adding Credit via Dashboard

  1. Go to Billing in the sidebar
  2. Enter the amount (minimum $5)
  3. Click Add Credit
  4. Complete payment on the Stripe checkout page
  5. Credit is added instantly to your balance

Adding Credit via API
