Questions people ask
Is Orkas free to use?
Yes, you can use Orkas without a subscription and get 500 bonus credits, official and bring-your-own models, Claude Code and Codex integrations, and core features. Subscribing unlocks cloud storage, multi-device sync, and more monthly credits.
What's the difference between the Pro and Max plans?
Both include Lite's benefits; Pro includes 10,000 monthly credits while Max includes 50,000 monthly credits for heavier use.
Does using cloud sync affect Orkas' local-first design?
Orkas remains local-first by default; Lite cloud sync is optional, with synced data stored on Orkas servers for multi-device access, while model traffic goes to official services or your own provider depending on your setup.
What do monthly credits get used for?
Monthly credits cover Studio Agent work, model input and output, speech, connectors, and optional generation-model calls; ImageStudio and VideoStudio can compose locally without separate image or video generation charges unless those APIs are used.
How do monthly credits differ from lifetime credits?
Monthly credits refresh at each renewal and unused credits do not roll over, while lifetime credits remain valid; monthly credits are used first, followed by lifetime credits.
