Understanding Coin Costs

What Are Coins?

Coins are Manifest's virtual currency used to power AI game generation. Coins are consumed when you generate a game or use advanced AI features.

The good news: Coins are only used when you actually build something. No per-token billing, no cloud costs, no hidden fees.

• •
  Map size and complexity: Larger, more complex games cost more
• •
  Number of NPCs and assets: More elements = more coins
• •
  AI model used: Manifest Builder (8B) costs more than Manifest Clarifier (0.5B)
• •
  Asset tier selected: Premium and Ultra assets cost more than Standard
