What are Open Design model credits? How are they used?
Open Design model credits are the USD-denominated balance used for Open Design hosted models. Each hosted AI model call deducts from your Open Design balance by usage. BYOK calls to provider models do not consume credits. Each subscription grants the matching credit amount every billing cycle.
How do the plans differ? Can Free use hosted models?
Free does not include Open Design model credits and supports local CLI plus BYOK only. Plus, Pro, and Max grant the model-credit amounts shown on their plan cards for different usage levels. Every plan, including Free, supports BYOK.
Does the price change after the first-month offer?
Monthly plans can start with a first-month offer. The plan cards show the current first-month and renewal prices. The first-month offer applies only to new monthly subscriptions and once per account. Yearly billing does not use the first-month offer because it already has a lower monthly equivalent.
What is the difference between yearly and monthly billing?
Yearly billing charges once for the full year at the lower monthly equivalent shown on each plan card. Monthly billing renews each month and can use the first-month offer. Yearly plans renew annually.
What happens when monthly credits run out? Do they roll over?
Open Design model credits are granted by billing cycle. They reset each cycle and unused credits do not roll over. When credits run out, you can upgrade, enable auto top-up, or use BYOK provider keys to keep calling models without spending Open Design credits.
How does auto top-up work?
After authorization, you set a monthly top-up cap. When the Open Design balance is low, the system adds credits and charges your saved payment method. Total auto top-ups in a calendar month will not exceed your cap. You can update the cap or turn it off in Wallet at any time.
What is BYOK? Do all plans support it?
BYOK means Bring Your Own Key: add your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or other provider API key and call provider models directly. BYOK does not consume Open Design balance and is available on every plan, including Free.
How are credits and charges handled after a plan change?
This release supports upgrades only: moving to a higher tier or switching monthly to yearly. Upgrades take effect immediately, grant the new benefits, and only charge the prorated difference (your current plan's unused time is credited — you don't pay the full new-plan price). Self-service downgrades (lower tier, or yearly to monthly) are not available and that entry is disabled; to downgrade, please contact support.
Can I cancel a subscription anytime?
Yes. Canceling stops renewal but does not end current benefits immediately. The paid period remains usable until it ends, then the account returns to Free. Yearly cancellations keep benefits through the current yearly period and do not trigger a refund.
How do refunds work?
Canceling a subscription does not refund it or reclaim current benefits for a prorated refund. Your paid period remains usable until it ends. If you see a duplicate charge or payment issue, contact support through the help center so we can review the bill.
