What will usage cost?
Beyond your plan, you only pay for the AI’s actual work. Here’s the estimated cost per active user, per ~100 messages — with token caching always on.
A message = one back-and-forth (your question + the AI’s reply), not a one-way message.
100 messages = 100 back-and-forth exchanges (your question + the AI’s reply). A typical document-review session is several messages.
Monthly plans already include AI usage credit — $10 (Builder), $30 (Studio), and $100 (Studio Pro). Usage beyond your included amount is billed at the estimated rates below, so you can get started today without paying anything extra.
