When you check your account balance as a Creator, you’ll see two separate amounts: Credits and Cash. They serve different purposes and come from different sources.

​
1. Credits

What they are:
Credits are units you can use within the platform to access certain resources (such as tools, models, or features you choose to spend on). Where they come from:
Your Credits may include:
  • Creator Credits: Granted directly to you by the platform (e.g., promotional rewards, special events) or purchased by you.
  • In-app Credits: Earned when consumers use their trial credits to pay for your agent — this is your share from those transactions.
These two types of Credits are combined into one single “Credits” number in your balance. How you can use them:
  • ✅ Spend on platform resources
  • ❌ Cannot be used to run other creator’s Agents
  • ❌ Cannot be withdrawn to your bank account
Validity:
Credits are valid for a set period depending on how they were obtained (for example, daily, monthly, or long-term credits). Expired credits are automatically removed from your balance.

​
2. Cash

What it is:
Cash (displayed as Earned Cash, in USD) represents real money you’ve earned from consumers who paid for your agent with paid credits (those they purchased or got via their consumer subscription). How you can use it:
  • ✅ Withdraw to your bank account (subject to payout rules)
  • ✅ Spend on platform resources
Validity:
Cash has a long-term validity period (currently up to 2 years) before expiration.

​
Why do we split into Credits and Cash?

  • Different origins: Credits might be awarded, purchased, or earned from trial-credit transactions. Cash is only earned when consumers spend real money.
  • Different uses: Cash can be withdrawn; Credits cannot. Credits are primarily for in-platform spending.
  • Fair payout rules: Only payments from consumers’ real purchases generate withdrawable Cash. Rewards or trial-based transactions yield Credits instead.
  • Clear tracking: This distinction helps you see which part of your balance is withdrawable and which is spend-only within the platform.

​
Where can we spend the Credits and Cash? What are the platform resources?

The platform resrouces include(We will keep expanding the list):
  • Some of the resources that enable your agent to be running (for example n8n instance)
  • LLM model API and Diffusion Model API(WIP) provided by MuleRun
  • MuleRun Pages(WIP) and MuleRun Computers(WIP)

​
Whats the order of deduction for the balance if I use some of the platform resources?

To protect your interests, we will, whenever possible, deduct your balance in the following order: In-app Credits, then Creator Credits, and finally Earned Cash. Within each credit type, credits with the nearest expiration date will be used first.
