Frequently Asked Questions
Is training really free? ▾
Yes. Model training runs client-side in your own browser, on your own device — so it costs us nothing and costs you no credits, on Free / Sandbox and Research Pro alike. Credits only apply when you reach for our AI helpers or our cloud compute.
What are credits, and what uses them? ▾
Credits meter AI helpers (Sharp calls) and cloud compute (hosted training, heavier out-of-sample runs, sims). Free / Sandbox includes 5 credits/month; Research Pro includes 20 credits/month. When the usage bar fills, you top up pay-as-you-go at $1 per credit.
What happens when I run out of credits? ▾
Nothing breaks. The next AI or cloud action shows a top-up prompt — confirm and Stripe charges $1 per credit, the action runs immediately. Top-ups never expire and are available on every tier including Free / Sandbox.
How does Research Pro billing work — weekly, monthly, or annual? ▾
Same Research Pro plan, three cadences. Weekly is $15/week for short bursts. Monthly is $39.99/month — flexible with no annual commitment. Annual is $300/year billed upfront — 4 months free vs monthly ($479.88/yr). All three grant the same 20-credit monthly pool and $1 first week.
Can I cancel anytime? ▾
Yes. Cancel from Account Settings. You retain access through the end of your current billing period. No questions asked.
What happens to my models if I downgrade? ▾
Saved models persist on your account forever. You keep on-device training and your Free / Sandbox credit grant; you just lose live picks and the larger credit pool until you re-upgrade.
Is there a refund policy? ▾
Subscription fees are generally non-refundable but we issue exceptions for service failures or billing errors. Email support@sharksnip.com.
Do you offer team plans / volume discounts? ▾
Larger team needs (sportsbooks, media outlets, research orgs): email enterprise@sharksnip.com.
