What are credits?
Credits measure computational work. Each job consumes credits based on:
- Tool type: Conversions (0 credits), analysis (0-1), ML predictions (2-10), docking (5-20)
- Input size: Larger proteins or molecule libraries cost more
- Resources: GPU-based tools cost more than CPU tools
Check credit cost before running. It's shown on the "Run" button.
