Pricing
Understand credits, model usage, sandbox charges, and automatic recharge.
Ellipsis uses prepaid credits. Model usage and sandbox compute are paid from your balance.
What is charged
| Models paid by | Tokens | CPU and memory: personal | CPU and memory: organization |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ellipsis credits | The model's rate, below | Free | At cost |
| Your Claude subscription | $0 to Ellipsis | Free | At cost |
| Your Codex subscription | $0 to Ellipsis | Free | At cost |
A subscription covers sessions you start yourself, on personal and organization accounts: from the dashboard, the CLI, the API with your own token, or a mention from a GitHub, Slack, or Linear account linked to your GitHub account. Scheduled and event-triggered agents, sessions started with an API key, and sessions an agent starts use credits.
Organization compute costs $0.141912 per CPU core-hour and $0.024192 per GiB-hour of memory, for the resources allocated while a sandbox runs, including while it waits for your next message.

Cache writes cost 1.25× input for Claude (5-minute) and GPT, or 2× input for Claude (1-hour). GLM and MiniMax cache writes use the input rate. A GPT-6 request with more than 272K input tokens, cache reads and writes included, costs 2× input and 1.5× output for the whole request.
Buy credits
Use Billing > Credits to purchase credits. A 10% platform fee applies to credit purchases before discounts, not to individual sessions.
Credits do not expire.
Automatic recharge
Configure a balance threshold and recharge amount under Billing > Credits. A saved payment method alone does not enable automatic recharge.
Paid requests stop when the available balance or an applicable spend limit is exhausted.
Read usage
Billing > Usage shows model and compute usage separately, and each session shows its own cost.
The usage API groups usage by UTC calendar month. For sessions paid by a subscription, it shows what the tokens would have cost; you aren't charged for them.
