- The free plan is capped at 300K tokens a day and 1M tokens a month
- Pro starts at 10M tokens a month for $25, so heavy sessions are metered rather than unlimited
- Team seats are billed at $30 per member per month and tokens are not pooled across the team
- Unused tokens roll over for one additional month only, so they expire after two

- The standalone desktop app is no longer available or supported
- The completion specs remain open source on GitHub, but the product that consumed them is gone
