description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps view of Meshy. Meshy bundles monthly credits in subscription tiers
  (Free 100, Pro 1,000, Studio 4,000, Enterprise custom). Per-task credit cost is returned
  as consumed_credits in the API response. Free retries (4 Pro / 8 Studio / unlimited
  Enterprise) reduce the effective per-asset cost.
notes: Right-size the plan tier vs expected monthly credit burn; plan upgrade is the dominant cost lever.
