What you need to bring
Mutator does not resell anything. It runs on accounts you hold, billed to you at their prices — which is why the subscription does not climb with how much you generate, and why you can leave with your accounts intact.
Start with none of it
Every app connects in test mode with one click. The whole product works: build an automation, run it, watch the steps light up, approve the results. Everything produced that way is simulated and labelled as such, everywhere it appears — no account, no card, nothing published.
That is the intended first hour. Connect real accounts when you already know what you are building.
