YAMOYAMO

Pay for the work, one run at a time

YAMO charges per run — one execution of a Playbook, from what starts it to what it delivers. There is nothing to pay for a Playbook that is sitting still.

How charging works

Three things decide what a run costs

The unit is settled. The figures are being finalised and are not published on this page yet.

  1. 01

    Whose Playbook it is

    Running your own Playbook draws on your own balance. Running somebody else's published Service is bought at the price they set.

  2. 02

    What the run actually did

    Work is metered as it happens — the model calls a run made, and the operations it performed. Nothing is estimated after the fact.

  3. 03

    Whether it delivered

    A run that does not deliver is credited back to your YAMO balance. What you pay for is the artifact, not the attempt.

What a run includes

What you are paying for

The whole Playbook

Every Play in it, in order, with the reference files it reads and the Connectors you have authorised.

The artifact it returns

The finished thing the Playbook publishes as its outcome, delivered the way its contract says it is delivered.

A run folder and a receipt

What was read, which Plays ran, and what each one produced — so a result can be traced back to the step that made it.

No markup on model usage

Model usage is passed through at what it cost. YAMO earns on the operations layer instead of on the tokens.

Before you start

Common questions

What exactly is a run?

One execution of a Playbook, from what starts it to the artifact it returns. It is the unit YAMO meters and the unit you are charged for.

What happens if a run does not finish?

A run that does not deliver is credited back to your YAMO balance rather than charged. Delivery is the thing being paid for, so a failure is not a purchase.

What does it cost to publish a Service?

Publishing sets your own per-run price, and YAMO takes a share of each run somebody buys. The figures are being finalised and are not published on this page yet.

Read a Playbook before you run one

Every template in the library publishes its contract and a real example output. Read one, then decide.
