A dollar to try every model.

Requests included#
The Starter plan includes $5 of credits a month, spent at each model maker's official API price. On Claude Sonnet 5.5, that is about 340 requests.
A request is one agent step: the conversation so far (about 50K tokens, read from the prompt cache), about 1K new tokens and a 220-token answer. On Claude Sonnet 5.5 that step costs $0.0147, so $5 ÷ $0.0147 ≈ 340. Cheaper models stretch the same credits further:
Short questions use fewer credits; big files and long reasoning use more. The CCode sidebar shows what each session has spent as you go.

How usage refreshes#
Your usage refills on three schedules: every 5 hours, every week and every month. That spreads your $5 across the whole month, so a long session today still leaves plenty for tomorrow.
Up to 8 requests can run at once, so helpers can work in parallel.
Prompt caching#
Long sessions stay affordable: whatever the model has already seen in your conversation is billed at its cached rate, up to 95% below the input price, so even deep into a task each step costs just cents.
Billing#
Your plan renews every month and your credits refresh with it. Need more? Pro gives you $70 of credits for $10 a month.
