Our ‘subscription’ isn’t really one: it works like a phone plan. A pile of credits is included, and when they’re used up, you top up. And when there’s nothing left at all? We don’t quietly throttle you down so you won’t notice — the music just stops. No coin, no music. You drop a fresh coin in the jukebox — top up your credits — and it plays on. No automatic charges, no surprises. Don’t feel like topping up? Then you wait until next month.
That’s entirely up to you — literally, not as a figure of speech. Three things set the pace at which your credits melt away: quality, depth and model choice. Better models cost more per request: on quality level 1 or 2 you’ll get far even on the small plan; crank it up and the credits are gone in a flash. Speed costs nothing extra — the fast models are usually the small ones, so here fast means cheap rather than expensive. Depth pulls the hardest: modes like Trio, Challenger or True have several models work the same question — multiple answers, one verified result. The most thorough route, but also the priciest, for you and for the planet. And sustainability? The cheapest models aren’t automatically the most frugal: lowest cost and smallest footprint don’t always point to the same model. Watch our Eco signal, then decide for yourself what to optimise for. (Eco values are estimates; we don’t measure real emissions.)
What drives the cost up: • High quality score → massively • Trio / Challenger / True → massively • Excluding Chinese models → noticeably • High sustainability score → moderately
We add a small margin on every request on top of what the model actually costs. On a typical message that's a fraction of a cent. We're not hiding it. That's how we keep the product running, the routing smart, and the lights on. You pay for what you use. We earn on what we route.
Because our pockets are anything but unlimited. We can’t match the flat-rate subscriptions of the billion-dollar giants — and we don’t want to: under heavy use those flat fees run at a loss and get cross-subsidised by venture capital. If you’re after a boundless, no-frills flat rate, you’ve honestly come to the wrong place. And one more thing: in some places, burning as many tokens as possible counts as success. We see it differently — we don’t want you torching tokens just to make a number go up. Less is perfectly fine. Our bet: subscriptions and flat rates will fade, token-based billing will become the norm. We’re simply starting out honest, right now.
Our free tier is deliberately small, just for a first taste. We can’t offer a full-blown free version: every prompt costs us something — and the planet. If you like discode after that first taste, please be so kind as to back us with a paid plan. And yes, the AI box in Google search is free and ad-funded. But that’s a summary sitting above the search results, not a tool you actually work with. Want the real assistant? Even with Google you’ll run into limits or a subscription. discode is the tool, not the ad box.
