## Credits & Pricing

The platform utilizes a unified credit system to measure and settle usage for all AI services.

**Credit Calculation Rules:** The number of tokens consumed in each interaction with the AI is converted into corresponding credits based on the pricing standards of different models and deducted from your account balance.

**Token Consumption Details:** In the AI response details, the platform displays the breakdown of token consumption, helping you understand the specific sources of credit usage and optimize future usage patterns.

**Platform-wide Credits conversion: 1 USD = 1,000,000 Credits (1M / 1000K Credits)**

**Pricing for Different Models:** Pricing varies due to differences in capabilities and computational costs among AI models. Generally, more capable models consume more credits. The web search feature incurs an additional fee and is charged on a pay-per-use basis. Some models do not support web search and are marked with "-". For specific model pricing, please check here:

| Model | Input (Credits/Token) | Output (Credits/Token) | Web Search (Credits/Use) |
| :---------------- | --------------------: | ---------------------: | -----------------------: |
| MiniMax M2.5 | 0.30 | 1.20 | - |
| Kimi K2.5 | 0.23 | 3.00 | - |
| GLM-5 | 0.30 | 2.55 | - |
| DeepSeek V3.2 | 0.27 | 0.42 | - |
| DeepSeek V4 Flash | 0.14 | 0.28 | - |
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | 0.435 | 0.87 | - |
| GPT-5.4 | 2.50 | 15.00 | 10,000 |
| GPT-5.5 | 5.00 | 30.00 | - |
| GPT-5.4 Pro | 30.00 | 180.00 | - |
| GPT-5.2 | 1.75 | 14.00 | 10,000 |
| GPT-5.4 Mini | 0.75 | 4.50 | 10,000 |
| GPT-5 Mini | 0.25 | 2.00 | 10,000 |
| GPT-5.4 Nano | 0.20 | 1.25 | 10,000 |
| GPT-5 Nano | 0.05 | 0.40 | - |
| Claude Opus 4.7 | 5.00 | 25.00 | 10,000 |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | 5.00 | 25.00 | 10,000 |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 5.00 | 25.00 | 10,000 |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 3.00 | 15.00 | 10,000 |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 3.00 | 15.00 | 10,000 |
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | 1.00 | 5.00 | 10,000 |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | 2.00 | 12.00 | 14,000 |
| Gemini 3 Flash | 0.50 | 3.00 | 14,000 |

For example, if you use GPT-5.2 to ask a question (10 input tokens) and the AI responds with an answer (50 output tokens), the entire dialogue consumes 717.5 credits (calculated as: 10 × 1.75 + 50 × 14). You can check the specific credit usage by hovering over the model name in the bottom right corner.

**How Credits are calculated:** The number of tokens consumed in each interaction is converted into Credits based on the pricing of the selected model and deducted from your account balance.

**Token usage details:** The response details panel shows a breakdown of token usage, helping you understand where Credits are spent and optimize future usage.

**Model pricing:** Different AI models have different pricing based on their capabilities and compute cost. In general, more capable models consume more Credits. Cache-enabled requests may incur separate cache write and cache read usage. Web search incurs an additional per-use charge. Some models do not support web search and are marked with `-`. See the table below for detailed pricing:

### Cache Pricing Notes

- **Cache Write:** The cost when tokens are first written into the prompt cache. Most providers charge no premium and use the same rate as standard input pricing. Claude models apply a 25% premium on cache writes.
- **Cache Read:** The discounted cost when cached tokens are reused in subsequent requests.
- **Example with Caching:** If you use Claude Sonnet 4.6 with 1000 tokens cached:
- First request (cache write): `1000 × 3.75 = 3,750 credits`
- Subsequent requests (cache read): `1000 × 0.30 = 300 credits` — a 90% savings compared to standard input pricing
- **Example without caching:** If you use GPT-5.2 to ask a question (10 input tokens) and the AI responds with an answer (50 output tokens), the entire dialogue consumes 717.5 credits (calculated as: `10 × 1.75 + 50 × 14`). You can check the specific Credits usage by hovering over the model name in the bottom right corner.

## Subscriptions & Charges

The platform supports two usage models: topping up Credits and subscription plans.

Top-up Credits are suitable for flexible, on-demand usage. Subscription plans are better suited for frequent users and include a fixed allowance within each billing period. When your subscription allowance is exhausted, the system will continue consuming Credits from your account balance.

### Subscription Plans

Two subscription plans are currently available:

#### Plan Pro

- Price: $200/month
- Designed for individual developers and frequent AI users
- Approximately 50-500 messages per 12 hours
- Full-series model access
- Includes curated BAIclaw skills such as Justin Sun Perspective Skill, HTX/Binance, Web3, and more
- A valid invite code is required for purchase

#### Plan Max

- Price: $2,000/month
- Designed for ambassadors and heavy users
- Approximately 500-5,000 messages per 12 hours
- Higher subscription allowance and priority access to beta models
- Dedicated support
- Includes curated BAIclaw skills such as Justin Sun Perspective Skill, HTX/Binance, Web3, and more
- Promotions can earn Credits rewards

### Subscription Usage & Charge Order

Subscription usage is measured within a rolling 12-hour window, and capacity is gradually released over time. Under lower system load, more subscription capacity remains available.

When subscription capacity is fully used, the system automatically begins consuming top-up Credits from your account balance. If both your subscription allowance and Credits are insufficient, the related features will no longer be available until capacity or balance is restored.

### Invite Codes & Upgrades

You must verify a valid invite code before purchasing Plan Pro. If the invite code is invalid or expired, the purchase cannot proceed.

Plan Pro can be upgraded to Plan Max. When an upgrade occurs, the remaining Plan Pro time is converted into Plan Max time according to the platform's upgrade rules.

You can also view your subscription history on the related pages, including plan type, payment method, amount, validity period, and current status.
