Pricing note
Free Hobby plan plus paid tiers: Pro from $20/month, Pro+ $60/month, Ultra $200/month, and Teams from $40 per user per month, with credit-based model usage. Check the official site for current plan boundaries and credit costs.
Checked Aug 12, 2026. Verify the current plan, credits, output limits, and commercial terms before purchasing.
Trade-offs to check
- Pricing is credit-based beyond the free tier; manual frontier-model selection consumes credits faster than Auto mode.
- Agent behavior, model availability, and credit costs can change after the review date.
- JS-rendered pricing page: confirm current plan limits and credit prices on the official site.
