FAQ

Does the free tier ever go away?

No. The core cost modeling tool — all 7 presets, all multipliers, all three cost columns, and the share link — is permanently free and requires no account.

Who handles payments?

Paddle is our merchant of record. They process payments and handle VAT, GST, and sales tax globally — you’ll see Paddle on your bank statement. We never see your card details.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time. Your Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period. See our Refund Policy for details on refunds.

What’s the difference between the Export Pass and Pro?

The Export Pass ($5, one-time) unlocks PDF and CSV export for 24 hours — no account, no subscription. Pro ($20/mo) unlocks everything: the extended model catalog, input token breakdown, cost per MAU, retry budget analysis, Slack share, and exports on an ongoing basis.

Is my prompt text or architecture model stored anywhere?

No. All cost calculations run in your browser. If you use the tokenizer’s paste mode, your prompt text never leaves your device — tiktoken runs locally via WebAssembly. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
