Credits / usage pricing

The route loop is free. Paid infrastructure costs credits.

Capture a route, find it again, and replay it locally without consuming credits. A balance moves only when Unbrowse invokes an explicitly metered server service or acquires a route whose owner has enabled compensation.

The receipt reads like the route.
