GPT-6 Luna and GLM 5.3 Flash on every plan

Whether the one-time free trial reaches each model, then each paid plan's messages on it.

Prices don't include tax, which is added where it applies and shown before you pay. A paid plan's month is one allowance shared by every model, so each monthly count is the most you get if all of it goes to that model. It renews each billing period; everyday models refill daily at 00:00 UTC. Long chats count more per reply. How pricing works.

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.

What differs

  • Messages on Pro

    Both are everyday models: each message comes from Pro's 60 a day, so they cost the same.

  • Context window

    Both take up to 1.05M tokens of context. A chat in llmwise holds up to 200k tokens, which fits in either, so the difference shows only through each maker's own API.

  • Images and PDFs

    Both read images. GLM 5.3 Flash gets a PDF's text rather than the file itself.

  • On Free

    Both are in the free trial.

  • Where messages go

    GPT-6 Luna: Sent to OpenAI directly. GLM 5.3 Flash: Served through OpenRouter, only by hosts that don't store or train on prompts. The maker's own endpoint is never asked.

API prices are what our model catalog lists (GPT: OpenAI's list price; GLM: Z.ai's list price). In llmwise you pay per message, not per token: the counts above are what you get.

GPT-6 Luna or GLM 5.3 Flash?

From the facts above and our test runs: the rest is how their answers suit your work, which one chat can show you.

  • Pick GPT-6 Luna: it reads a PDF as the whole file, charts and scans included; it costs its maker less to run ($0.0008 a typical message at API prices), though in llmwise the count is the same.
