Eligibility & billing details

Plan details

Inline suggestions: Complete code in your editor. Completions have a separate allowance from AI credits. Chat and agents: Ask questions, explain code and make edits with automatic model selection. When to upgrade: Paid plans add model choice, the cloud agent and pull request code review.

Billing

Completions and AI credits are separate meters. Chat, CLI and agents use model-specific input, output and cache token rates; 1 AI credit represents $0.01. There is no fixed conversion to chat messages. Paid base and variable flex allowances are recorded separately.
