What You Pay For
How the per-run price is built, what the creator earns, and what Edgaze keeps.
Buyers and creators using Edgaze.
Overview#
Every per-run listing charges one displayed price. That price is the sum of the creator's margin and the estimated compute at the workflow's maximum allowed input. Within that input envelope, the price is fixed. Edgaze handles small compute variance inside the envelope.
Example: a $0.05 margin plus $0.012 compute yields a $0.062 per-run price. The creator earns $0.04 on that run (80% of the margin, rounded down to the nearest cent).
The two parts of your price#
Creator margin is set at publish, from $0.05 to $50.00 per workflow run. Hosted compute is Edgaze's estimate at the largest accepted input. Buyers see the total before running.
Compute covers platform cost. It is not creator revenue. The creator never earns a share of compute.
What the creator earns#
On a successful run, the creator receives 80% of their margin, rounded down to the nearest cent. Edgaze retains 20% of the margin as the platform fee.
This applies per workflow in composed runs. Each called workflow earns on its own margin when it executes.
Fixed price within the envelope#
The displayed price does not change with smaller inputs inside the envelope. Edgaze absorbs within-envelope compute variance. Inputs above the envelope are rejected before any charge.
BYOK and failover#
Non-hosted provider modes (Plus). Hosted compute is replaced by $0.002 for Edgaze orchestration. The provider bills the owner of the connected key. See BYOK.
Failover. If a model fails over to a more expensive provider, your displayed price stays the same. Edgaze absorbs the cost difference. Creators can disable failover so the run fails instead. See Failover.
Special cases#
- Remix workflow: The displayed price includes the permitted parent workflow and the new workflow. Each creator earns on their own margin.
- Version pin: You pay the margin and compute for the version you run, not necessarily the latest published price.
- Failed run: No margin charge. See When Runs Fail.
- Stopped at the compute limit: Already-consumed compute may be retained. The creator's margin is released. This is separate from an ordinary failed run.
What you see in Edgaze#
- Product and run UI: a single dollar amount per run
- Publish preview (creators): margin input, hosted compute estimate, displayed buyer price, and creator-earnings preview
- Wallet history after a successful run: charge lines for the run, not raw token counts
