Billing & Usage

Pisces has two ways to charge: prompts for the Pisces model, and wallet credits for premium models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini. They don't interact — pick a model, and the right one charges. Here's how each works.

Prompts — for the Pisces model

One message = one prompt

Every time you hit send while talking to the Pisces model, one prompt is used. It doesn't matter how long the response is or how many tools the AI runs — you're charged per message you send, not per action it takes.

Free to start

New accounts get 5 free prompts. After that, you'll need a subscription or an extras pack to keep going.

Subscriptions give you rolling caps

Paid plans don't give you a fixed monthly bucket. Instead, you get two rolling windows — one short (5 hours), one long (7 days). You can send up to your cap in each window. As messages age out, capacity comes back.

Plan 5-hour cap 7-day cap Wallet credit included
Starter ($20/mo) 40 prompts 400 prompts $5
Pro ($50/mo) 100 prompts 2,000 prompts $15
Max ($100/mo) 300 prompts 4,500 prompts $35

Two-window design keeps things fair: the 5-hour cap prevents burst spam, the 7-day cap covers heavy days. If you hit one, you'll see a cool-down banner with the exact time capacity returns.

Extras packs — if you blow through your plan

Buy a top-up of extra prompts. They never expire and are only used after your plan's rolling caps are full.

Wallet credits — for premium models

Pay only for what you actually use

When you pick Claude, GPT, or Gemini in the model picker, you're charged from your wallet balance per request, based on the model's real token usage. It's pay-as-you-go — no monthly commitment, no wasted allowance.

How charging works

Topping up

Add credits anytime via Stripe. Top-up packs are $5, $20, $50, $100, or $250 — credits land in your wallet instantly and never expire. Paid plans also include monthly wallet credit on top of your prompt allowance.

Open Wallet

Premium models are 10% cheaper through Pisces

If you went straight to Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google and paid them directly for API access, you'd pay their full sticker price for every call. Through your Pisces wallet, every premium model call costs 10% less than the provider's direct rate. Same Claude, same GPT, same Gemini — just at our discounted rate.

On top of that, you get one wallet for all of them. No juggling three separate billing accounts, three separate top-ups, three separate sticker shocks at the end of the month. Everything flows out of one balance you control.

What "direct provider" means: the company that actually makes the model. Claude is made by Anthropic, GPT is made by OpenAI, Gemini is made by Google. Their websites sell API access directly to developers at a sticker price. Pisces gives you the same access for 10% less, with a single wallet to manage it all.

FAQ

What happens when I run out of prompts?

You'll see a clear message in the chat. From there you can subscribe, upgrade your plan, or buy an extras pack. Your conversation stays put — just pick up where you left off once you've topped up.

What happens when my wallet hits zero?

Premium model requests will be blocked until you top up. You can still use the Pisces model with your plan prompts, since prompts and wallet credits are completely separate.

Do plan prompts roll over?

No — the rolling-window design means capacity continuously refreshes as old messages age out. There's no monthly bucket to roll over. Extras packs do never expire, though, so if you want to bank prompts long-term, those are the way.

Can I see my usage in real time?

Yes — the pill in the top bar shows your remaining prompts and wallet balance. Click it for a detailed breakdown including which window you're in.

Are wallet credits refundable?

Wallet credits are non-refundable but never expire. We charge per call from a balance you top up, the same way prepaid phone credit works.

I'm a heavy user — what's the best setup?

Max plan + extras packs for prompts, plus a wallet balance for premium models. The plan covers high-volume Pisces work, extras handle overflow, and the wallet lets you reach for Claude or GPT when you want flagship-grade reasoning.
