VARRD Balance — Check Credits
Use this skill to check how many credits the user has before running paid operations.
Command
varrd balance
How It Works
Returns the current credit balance in cents, whether billing enforcement is enabled, and available credit packs for purchase.
When to Check
- Before running
varrd research or varrd discover (these cost credits)
- After getting a "credits depleted" error
varrd scan, varrd search, varrd hypothesis, and varrd reset are free — no need to check first
Cost Reference
| Operation | Approximate Cost |
|---|
| scan, search, hypothesis, balance, reset | Free |
| Full research workflow | ~20-30 cents |
| ELROND expert council | ~40-60 cents |
| Multi-market testing (3+ markets) | ~$1 |
If Credits Are Low
Direct the user to purchase more at app.varrd.com. Credit packs: $5 / $20 / $50.
New accounts start with $2.00 in free credits (~10-20 research queries).
Cost
Free. No credits consumed.
