What a message costs
Msty publishes no price and count together, so there's no price per message to set beside llmwise's. Here's llmwise Pro's ($20), model by model.
| Where | Messages | A message |
|---|---|---|
| llmwise Pro, Claude Sonnet 5 | Up to 125 a month | $0.16 |
| llmwise Pro, GPT-6 Sol | Up to 125 a month | $0.16 |
Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Pro $7.50, Max $20, Ultra $42, Studio $85. Using every message on your plan at typical sizes stays under it; very large messages and heavy research use it faster. Every limit, explained.
