How is usage measured?

Every plan comes with a monthly grant of unified tokens. A question costs more tokens at a higher effort level, because more specialists work for more rounds on stronger models. The table on this page converts each plan into questions per effort level, using the models a team resolves to today and their current prices.

How does Autopilot affect what my plan buys?

Autopilot sends questions it reads as simple and low-stakes to one model, which costs a small fraction of a panel, and calls a panel when a question needs one. It shows the estimated cost before every run. If your balance cannot cover a run, it scales the run down to fit; if it is unsure how to read a question at Standard cost, it may use Max-quality models, and the estimate shows that too. The table on this page shows what a pinned team costs at each effort level.

What happens if I run out of tokens?

You can top up at any time with a token pack: 1,000,000 tokens for $5, 5,000,000 tokens for $20, 20,000,000 tokens for $75. Pack tokens are added to your balance on top of your plan's monthly grant.

What is the Connect plan?

Connect is for people who already have an OpenRouter account. Models you add with your own OpenRouter key run without limit and are billed by OpenRouter. Teams and web search draw on the plan's built-in token grant.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes. On the billing page in your account settings, choose Manage Subscription to switch plans, update payment details or cancel. It opens Stripe, which handles billing.
