OverpayingForAIPricing desk

Pro · the desk’s paid tier

Everything on the desk stays free. Pro pays for the compute.

Live runs on any model, saved playground results, CSV export and instant price alerts — for the price of one wasted seat.

Free vs Pro

Prices, rankings and verdicts are identical on both plans. Pro only changes how much we run and store on your behalf.

Questions before you pay

Does Pro change what the site says about a tool?

No. Prices, rankings and verdicts are the same for everyone. Pro pays for compute and storage on your behalf — live runs on our key, saved outputs, alerts — not for a different opinion.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time from Manage billing on your account page. Access continues to the end of the paid period.

What happens to the $5 credit if I do not use it?

It resets each month and does not roll over. The 200-run cap and the credit are both ceilings; you stop at whichever comes first.

What is not included yet?

An API key for the cost-estimate endpoint, private prompt sets on the weekly bench, team workspaces and an annual plan are tracked as open GitHub issues and will be added to this table only when they ship.
