llmwise Pro ($20): a monthly count assumes the month's whole allowance goes to that one model; the everyday models count by the day.
llmwise Pro keeps a fair-use limit of $7.50 in AI cost per month. Spending its whole count on typical messages stays below that; outsized messages and research eat into it faster. Every limit, explained.
