Minimum Deposit Amount and Why It Exists

There's a minimum, and it's enforced up front

When you fund your wallet, there's a minimum amount you can deposit at once. It's checked before you're sent to pay anything — if your entered amount is below it, you're told clearly, with the current minimum shown, rather than discovering it after a failed or awkward payment attempt.

Why a minimum exists at all

Processing a payment — whatever the amount — has its own fixed cost on SoulrisAI's side, independent of how much is actually deposited. A very small deposit can cost close to (or more than) what it adds to your wallet once that overhead is accounted for. A minimum keeps deposits meaningfully larger than that overhead, which keeps the pay-per-use model sustainable for everyone, not just the person making the small deposit.

Is the minimum fixed?

The minimum is a value SoulrisAI can adjust without needing to ship a new version of the app — it isn't hardcoded into a fixed number that's locked in forever. Always check the current minimum shown on the deposit screen itself rather than assuming a number you remember from a previous visit still applies; see how to fund your wallet for the step where this is shown.

What if I only want to try the paid features briefly?

The minimum is deliberately kept low specifically so this isn't a barrier — it's set to let you try image generation, video generation, attachments, and the higher chat tiers without committing a large amount up front. You don't need to deposit enough for extensive use; you need enough to clear the minimum and cover your first few requests.

Does the minimum apply every time I deposit?

Yes — every individual deposit has to clear the minimum on its own. There's no "you've deposited before, so now anything goes" exception, and no requirement to deposit a large amount the first time to avoid hitting it on future deposits.

What happens if I try to deposit less?

You won't be charged anything, and no payment attempt is made. The deposit screen simply won't let the attempt proceed below the minimum — you'll see the current minimum and can adjust your amount before continuing.

Is this different from a subscription price?

Yes, meaningfully. The minimum deposit is the smallest amount you can add to your wallet at once — not a recurring fee, and not tied to any particular feature. See pay-per-use vs. subscription for how this compares to a monthly-fee model.
