## Choose Your Plan

Floyo offers several plans to match your needs. All plans include unlimited workflow editing and access to powerful GPUs.

### What is FloTime & Partner Nodes Credits?

FloTime is GPU compute time for running workflows. Partner Nodes credits allow you to run closed source models via Floyo API nodes (see [Floyo Partner Nodes](docId\:mqyBZf1VdOCWovoWXOYqk)). The Free Trial plan comes with a one-time load of FloTime and Partner Nodes credits. All paid plans come with monthly FloTime and Partner Nodes credits and have the option to buy additional Flex credits as needed.
