How Thinkmay pricing works
Every price on Thinkmay, what keeps billing, what happens when your wallet is empty, and when money comes back. The same rules apply on every page where you buy.
1 credit = $0.04
Prices are in credits
You top up a wallet in credits and every purchase is paid from it. Each price below is in credits, with the money figure beside it.
Prices include the taxes and fees required by law.
Two ways a price is charged
Paid up front
Taken from the wallet when you buy, for a fixed period, and renewed from the wallet when the period ends.
Cloud PC plans · public IP · game pool
Taken every hour
Taken from the wallet each hour for as long as you keep the resource, whether it is in use or not.
VPS
Cloud PC plans
A Windows PC with a GPU, paid for a period with a set number of play hours.
- Billing
- Paid up front. A plan renews automatically from your wallet on its end date; you can turn this off in Account. On a monthly plan, using all its hours renews it early: the plan price is taken again and 30 days are added to the end date; if that renewal cannot be paid, play pauses until you top up or the end date arrives, so no paid day is lost. With auto-renew off, a monthly plan ends when its hours run out, and the days left are lost. The trial does not renew. A yearly plan pauses instead until its next cycle.
- Keeps billing
- Unused hours do not carry over to the next period.
- Wallet runs out
- If a renewal cannot be paid, the plan ends and its disk is deleted 48 hours later; renewing within them keeps it.
- Refunds
- Cancelling stops the plan at once and nothing is refunded. The disk is kept for 48 hours, unbilled, and until then you can restore the plan with the days and hours it had left.
VPS
A Linux virtual machine, billed by the hour.
Example: a 4 vCPU VPS used 100 hours in a month costs 100 credits. Left on all month it costs 499 credits: the cap is reached after 499 hours, and the rest of the month is free.
- Billing
- Taken from the wallet every hour, from creation until you delete it. The first hour is taken at creation. Once a VM reaches its monthly cap, its hours are free until the 1st of the next month, Vietnam time.
- Keeps billing
- A stopped VM bills in full.
- Wallet runs out
- The VM stops at once. If the wallet is not topped up within 48 hours, the VM and its disk are deleted.
- Refunds
- The hour in progress is not refunded when you delete a VM. A deleted VM is kept for 48 hours and can be restored until then; a restore bills the hours since the delete, as if the VM had been stopped. Never restored, it bills nothing more.
Public IP
An internet address of your own, for SSH, a game server or a website on a VPS.
- Billing
- Paid up front for 30 days and renewed automatically from the wallet.
- Keeps billing
- It renews whether or not it is attached to a VM, and after its VM is deleted, until you release it.
- Wallet runs out
- If a renewal cannot be paid, the address keeps working for 48 hours, then it is released.
- Refunds
- Releasing ends the period at once and the rest is not refunded. For 24 hours you can take the address back with the period it had; after that it goes back to the pool and may not be yours again.
Games
Access to games you do not own.
- Billing
- The game pool is paid up front and renews from the wallet a few hours before it ends. A VIP account is paid once.
- Keeps billing
- The game pool renews until you cancel it; cancelling keeps access to the end of the period.
- Wallet runs out
- A pool renewal is tried 3 times, then the pool lapses.
- Refunds
- None. If a publisher disables a VIP account, you get another account for the game; saves on the old one may be lost.
When your wallet runs out
Nothing is deleted the moment the wallet reaches zero. A VPS, a Cloud PC and a public IP all get the same 48 hours, and a top-up within them keeps everything.
Refunds
No refunds: credits are not returned when you cancel a plan, delete a VPS, release an IP or stop using something you paid for.
The one exception: if a Thinkmay fault makes a service you paid for unusable for more than 24 hours, contact support and we return the credits or play hours for that time.
Credits cannot be exchanged back for money, except where the law requires it.

Pricing questions
How does Thinkmay charge me?
Everything is priced in credits, which you top up into your wallet. Cloud PC plans, public IPs and the game pool are paid up front for a set period and renew from the wallet. A VPS is taken from the wallet every hour. The price list above shows each current price, in credits and in money.
Does playing on a Cloud PC use credits by the hour?
No. A Cloud PC plan is paid up front and comes with a set number of play hours for its period. Playing uses those hours, not your wallet. On a monthly plan with auto-renew on, using all the hours renews the plan early.
Does a VPS cost anything while it is stopped?
Yes. A VPS is billed every hour from the moment you create it until you delete it, running or stopped. A VPS size with a monthly cap stops billing for the rest of the month once it reaches the cap; the price list shows which sizes have one.
How is a public IP billed?
It is paid up front for 30 days and renews from the wallet, whether or not it is attached to a VM, until you release it.
What happens when my wallet runs out?
Nothing is deleted at once. A VPS stops right away, a public IP keeps working, and a Cloud PC plan that cannot renew ends. Top up within 48 hours and you keep everything. After that, the VPS or the plan’s disk is deleted and the IP is released.
Do I keep my files after I stop a session?
On a monthly or yearly Cloud PC plan, your disk stays between sessions for as long as the plan runs. The Trial keeps nothing between sessions. A VPS keeps its disk until you delete it.
When do I get credits back?
Cancelling a plan, deleting a VPS or releasing an IP does not refund credits. The one exception: if a Thinkmay fault makes a service you paid for unusable for more than 24 hours, contact support and we return the credits or play hours for that time. Credits cannot be exchanged back for money, except where the law requires it.
