Pricing Models
Spartera uses a credit-based marketplace economy. Sellers set their own execution price. Buyers pay in credits. Sellers receive 80% of each transaction.
For Buyers
Credits
1 credit = $0.50. Credits never expire (though their USD value may change over time).
Every asset shows its credit cost before you execute — no surprises. Many assets are free and require no credits at all.
Credit Options
On-Demand
Buy any amount with no commitment. Best for occasional use or testing the platform.

Asset Pricing by Type
As a guide, marketplace assets typically fall into these price ranges:
| Asset Type | Typical Credit Cost | USD Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Simple calculation (1 value) | 1–4 credits | $0.50–$2.00 |
| Multi-row result | 2–10 credits | $1.00–$5.00 |
| Visualization / chart | 4–16 credits | $2.00–$8.00 |
| ML model output | 10–50 credits | $5.00–$25.00 |
| Proprietary/regulated data | 20–100+ credits | $10.00–$50.00+ |
Free Preview
Every asset can be previewed for free against sample data before you spend any credits. Use this to confirm the output matches your needs before committing.
Failed Processing Protection
You are never charged credits for failed processing attempts. If an asset fails due to a technical issue, network problem, provider error, or invalid parameters (such as requesting future dates or invalid filter values), no credits are deducted.
For Sellers
You Set the Price
You control the per-execution price for each of your assets. Set it in USD — Spartera converts it to credits for buyers automatically. There is no approval process for pricing.
Revenue Split
You earn 80% of every execution. Spartera retains 20% as the platform fee.
Asset price: $5.00
Your earnings: $4.00 (80%)
Platform fee: $1.00 (20%)Price changes take effect immediately for all processing events that start after the change.
Pricing Strategy
Price based on value, not cost. A churn prediction model that helps a buyer retain customers is worth far more than a simple revenue sum — price accordingly.
Check demand signals. Use Trends to see which categories are in highest demand and what similar assets are priced at.
Start competitive, then raise. New assets often benefit from lower introductory pricing to build ratings and reviews. You can increase price once you have social proof.
Benchmarks by type:
| Asset Type | Suggested Price | Your Earnings (80%) |
