How pricing works

Every job shows a full cost breakdown. You always see exactly what you're paying for.

1

Choose a budget tier

Pick from XXS ($1) to XL ($60). The tier sets the maximum spend for that job — you'll never exceed it.

2

Provider costs + 30% fee

You pay what the AI providers charge, plus a 30% platform fee for orchestration and synthesis. That's it.

3

Spend caps keep you safe

Set daily and monthly limits. Individual accounts use prepaid credits. Jobs pause — never overspend.

Higher tiers use more providers simultaneously for richer, cross-referenced results.
