A clearer way to pay: Free, Standard, and pay-as-you-go

Billing now has two independent parts. Your plan is a subscription — start on Free, or move to Standard when you want higher limits and more models. Usage beyond your plan runs on pay-as-you-go credits, which live in their own balance.

A new Payment methods tab keeps your card and billing details in one place, so changing a plan or topping up credits never means hunting through settings.

Credits come in two buckets. Credits issued with your plan each month are spent first, so you always use what you've already paid for before anything else. Top-up credits you buy on top of that never expire — they wait until you need them.

Bring-your-own-key traffic stays free of platform credits, as always. When you route through your own provider keys, you pay your provider and nothing comes out of either bucket.

Every request shows a clear mapping from tokens to credits, so the price is never a mystery. You can see exactly what a model costs before and after you use it.

Auto-charge is opt-in and comes with a spend cap you set, so a busy week can't surprise you. There's no lock-in either — change plans or cancel anytime, and your top-up credits stay yours.

Open Billing to see your plan, your two credit balances, and your payment methods side by side. Stay on Free, upgrade to Standard, or add pay-as-you-go credits whenever you need a little more headroom.
