Pricing
ProteinIQ uses credits to run tools. Many utilities like format converters are free, while compute-intensive tools like folding and docking cost 20–100+ credits depending on the model and input size.
We calculate costs upfront. You see exactly what a job will cost before running it. No usage-based billing surprises—you know the price before you commit.
