Credit Retainer
Fixes and features, paid by the credit.
A pre-paid monthly subscription buys a set number of credits. Each request costs credits from a short, published menu, so you know the price of every fix and feature before work starts.

An active roadmap: several features in flight alongside ongoing fixes.
Pre-paid monthly by card through Stripe. Unused credits roll over to the next month, with no expiry while the retainer is active. Credits left over when you cancel are lost.
What a credit buys
I size every request before work starts. You approve the size, then the credits are spent.
| Request | Credits | For example |
|---|---|---|
| Bug fix | 1 | Something that used to work, or should work, and does not. |
| Small feature | 5 | A new screen, form, setting, or integration that fits inside the existing design. |
| Big feature | 15 | A new flow or module that touches several parts of the product. |
Credit Retainer FAQ
How does billing work?
Each plan is a monthly subscription, pre-paid by card through Stripe. The first payment is taken when you subscribe, then on the same day each month, and every payment adds that month's credits to your balance.
How do I know what size a request is?
Send the request and I reply with its size before any work starts: bug fix (1 credit), small feature (5) or big feature (15). Credits are only spent once you agree.
What if a request is bigger than a big feature?
I split it into pieces from the menu and we agree the total up front. You always know the credit cost before anything is built.
What happens to credits I do not use?
Unused credits roll over to the next month, with no expiry while the retainer is active. Credits left over when you cancel are lost.
Can I change plan or cancel?
Yes. Email info@gabegiro.com and the change or cancellation takes effect from the next billing month. Your balance carries over when you change plan.
