Each badge is how many messages Pro gets on the model: a month’s, or a day’s on an everyday model. Free is a one-time trial of 5 messages on the models marked. “Text only” models get the text of a PDF, not the file. API prices are the per-token prices in our model catalog as of October 2026 (OpenAI: OpenAI's list price; Anthropic: Anthropic's list price; Google: Google's list price). In llmwise you pay per message, not per token. Claude Haiku 5.5: the rate for prompts up to 100K tokens; $0.50 / $2.50 a million over that. Gemini 4 Argon: its standard price from December 1, 2026; $2 / $10 until then. Gemini 3.1 Pro (preview): the standard rate, for prompts up to 200K tokens. Gemini 3.8 Flash: an introductory price, through December 31, 2026.

Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Plus $3.75, 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.
