About this converter
Warframe Foundry builds charge fixed credit fees, which makes every project easy to compare. A Soma build costs 15,000 credits, a Rhino main build costs 25,000, and a Tonkor build costs 60,000. That means one Tonkor equals 4 Soma builds or 2.4 Rhino frames. Every figure on this page is a Foundry build fee from WARFRAME Wiki Manufacturing Requirements tables, not the Market blueprint purchase price and not the Platinum rush fee. Blueprint prices differ from build fees, and the table notes both where they split. Credits have no real world rate, so this page compares credit fees to each other.
How to use it
Pick two costs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first cost, one the matching count of the second, one the total in credits. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Tonkor build against Soma builds, or a Rhino frame against Odonata parts.
Standard Warframe main builds cost 25,000 credits for Rhino, Frost and Excalibur alike. Weapon fees run 15,000 for Soma, Paris, Carrier parts and Aklex, 20,000 for Orthos, 25,000 for Boltor and Hek, and 60,000 for Tonkor and Atomos. The Odonata Archwing main build costs 7,000 in the quest version. Forma costs 35,000 and appears in many higher tier recipes.
