| Pro | Everything in Free, 3x Free usage, Ultrabrowse, unlimited routines, and priority model access where available. |

Pro and Max plans can have monthly or yearly Stripe prices when those prices are active in billing.
Credits
Aside plans grant credits each billing period. Settings > Plan & Usage > Credits shows:
- remaining credit percentage
- renewal date
- monthly credit amount for the current plan
Paid-plan credits renew on the subscription's billing anniversary. A trial and its first paid period receive separate credit grants. Free-plan credits renew at the start of each UTC calendar month.
Credit rates differ by model and speed, so the same task can cost more with a larger model, Fast mode, or a long conversation. Check actual charges under Settings > Plan & Usage > Aside credits usage.
Credits are separate from API keys or external AI subscriptions you connect under AI settings. If you bring your own API key, your provider may bill usage to that provider account.
Purchased add-on credits
Purchased add-on credits are separate from your monthly plan credits.
- Purchased add-on credits do not expire. There is no time limit after purchase.
- Unused purchased credits carry over when your monthly plan credits renew. Unused monthly plan credits do not carry over.
- Purchased credits remain usable if you cancel Pro or Max or downgrade to Free. They do not retain paid-plan features.
- Monthly plan credits are used first. Purchased credits are used after your monthly plan credits run out.
