What are the Function Packages? - ChimeraTool help

An active licence is necessary for using Chimera; therefore, Function Packs only have significance if you already have at least one Basic, Professional, or Premium licence. Although most of our available services in Chimera are free of charge, once a licence has been purchased, there are some special functions within the program that come at additional charges. On our webshop, the Function Packs sold as separate products can be used to cover the costs of these special functions.

Currently, four different function packages are available:

1. SMALL: Contains 150 credits – depending on its use, it can cover 2–5 functions that come at additional charges.
2. MEDIUM: Contains 350 credits – depending on its use, it can cover 5–10 functions that come at additional charges.
3. LARGE: Contains 700 credits – depending on its use, it can cover 10–20 functions that come at additional charges.
4. SUPER: Contains 1,000 credits – depending on its use, it can cover 20-30 functions that come at additional charges.

The number of credits indicated in the packages is what appears on Chimera (in the bottom left corner) after purchase and in the dashboard after logging into the website, besides further account and licence information. The values of the functions that come at additional charges are given in credits to help you see how many credits running the function in question would cost, which is deducted from the credit balance.

Under the Supported Models menu, all functions can be found in a searchable list, broken down by brand and model. Whether a function comes at an additional charge and how many credits it costs are also indicated here.

Why Function Packs are useful during use Chimera Tool?

Modern mobile repair businesses work in an environment where technical capability and financial control must work together. Many advanced server-side procedures are not covered solely by a licence and require credits, which carry direct monetary value. Managing these resources efficiently is crucial for maintaining predictable costs and uninterrupted service. This is where Function Packs and strategic licence selection work together to support both operational performance and profitability.

Finding Your Perfect License Tier

Choosing the right licence is a strategic business decision that directly influences profitability. Chimera Tool supports thousands of mobile phone models, but many advanced server-side procedures require credits beyond standard licence access. Because these paid operations are part of everyday service work, selecting a licence tier that matches your repair volume is essential to maintain cost efficiency and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Professional and Premium licence tiers provide built-in discounts that reduce the cost of credit-based procedures. Professional licence holders receive a 10% discount, while Premium licence holders receive a 15% discount. These tier-based savings apply across every paid operation, meaning higher-volume shops retain more of their service revenue as repair demand grows.

The overall efficiency of a repair business depends on how well its licence level reflects actual repair volume. Shops that frequently perform server-based operations benefit from bigger discounts, while those with lighter usage can avoid overpaying for features they do not regularly need. Matching the licence tier to operational demand ensures consistent, predictable spending.

Credits & Function Packs: Fueling Your Workflow

Credits operate on a pay-per-use model and are deducted only when a server-side function is successfully executed. Because credits represent direct monetary value, they must be treated as business assets. Function Packs provide a structured way to manage this resource, helping repair shops plan their credit usage rather than making frequent, unplanned purchases.

Structured credit bundles make it easier to track usage against workload over time. Stores can compare consumption patterns with bundle size and adjust purchasing strategies accordingly, reducing unexpected spending and supporting clearer financial planning.

Maintaining an appropriate balance of credits ensures that technicians can perform advanced procedures whenever required. With Function Packs in place, repair operations remain consistent and free from delays caused by insufficient credit availability.
