When it comes to repairing an at-risk Streak, the cost structure is refreshingly simple. Buddzy charges a flat rate of 10 Orbs for every repair, regardless of how long the Streak was. This straightforward pricing has some interesting implications for how you should think about budgeting your Orbs.
Flat 10 Orbs, Every Time
Whether you are repairing a 7-day Streak or a 365-day Streak, the price is exactly the same. 10 Orbs. No more, no less. There are no tiers, no variable pricing, and no hidden fees. You know exactly what it costs going in, which makes it easy to plan and budget for emergencies. This flat rate is one of the cleaner design choices in the game because it removes any ambiguity about whether a repair is "worth it."
Why Flat Pricing Is Actually Brilliant
Think about it this way. If repair costs scaled with Streak length, saving a 365-day Streak might cost so many Orbs that it would be practically impossible for most users. That would be incredibly frustrating after investing a full year of daily effort. By keeping the cost flat, Buddzy ensures that repairing your longest and most valuable Streaks is always accessible. The system protects your biggest investments for the same price as your smallest ones.
Is 10 Orbs a Lot?
That depends on your perspective and your Orbs balance. If you are actively earning or purchasing Orbs and have a healthy reserve, 10 Orbs is pretty manageable. If you are running low, it might sting a bit. The key is to always keep at least 10 Orbs in reserve as an emergency fund for Streak repairs. Think of it as insurance for your most valuable Streaks. You hope you never need it, but you are glad it is there when you do.
Budget Orbs Accordingly
Here is some practical advice. Take stock of how many active Streaks you are maintaining and think about the worst-case scenario. If you have five active Streaks and the worst week happens where two of them go at risk, you would need 20 Orbs to save both — and you would need them inside a one-day window, with no time to go and earn more. Having that buffer in your Orbs wallet gives you peace of mind. Smart Buddzy users always keep a small Orbs reserve specifically for Streak emergencies.
The Value Calculation
When deciding whether to spend 10 Orbs, consider what you are saving. A 100-day Streak represents daily effort from both you and your friend, plus all the Aura and Milestones you would need to re-earn. Repair keeps that counter exactly where it is — it never drops in the first place. Compared to that, 10 Orbs is a steal. For short Streaks under a week, just restart. For anything significant, repair is almost always worth it.
Do Not Waste Repairs on Short Streaks
Just because you can repair a 2-day Streak does not mean you should. Save your Orbs for the Streaks that matter. If a short Streak breaks, it is often better to just start fresh. Be smart about when you pull the trigger on a repair.
