## **Choosing your plan**

* **\$5 free token quota**
* Valid during the **registration month**

<Note>
  Free plan token quota is issued once only. It expires at the end of the registration month and is not reissued.
</Note>

### **Yearly pricing**

Yearly billing applies a discount to the combined annual cost of:

* The VM fee
* The included token quota fee

This means yearly pricing is calculated from the full plan value rather than from the VM fee alone.

## **Token Quota and Billing**

### **What are Tokens**

**Tokens** measure the actual amount of model computation used during a task.

This includes:

* **Input** — prompts, context, files, and instructions
* **Output** — agent responses, generated code, and plans

More complex tasks, larger context windows, and more advanced models typically consume more tokens.

### **Included Token Quota**

Each plan includes a built-in token quota:

* **Free** — **\$5** one-time token quota
* **Personal** — **\$25 / month**
* **Professional** — **\$130 / month**

This included quota is part of the plan itself.

### **Token Top-up**

If your included token quota is exhausted, you can continue using CodeBanana through **On-demand Usage (Top-up)**.

Top-up is available for individual plans and lets you add token balance as needed without changing your current subscription.

<Note>
  Team Plan does not use personal top-up. Team usage is handled through the shared team token pool.
</Note>

### **How Billing Works**

For individual plans, billing follows this structure:

1. Your subscription price includes:
   * A **VM fee**
   * An **included token quota fee**
2. Included token quota resets on your **subscription renewal date**
3. Unused included quota does **not** roll over into the next cycle
4. If your included quota is exhausted, you can continue through **Top-up**

### **Usage Alerts**

CodeBanana provides usage alerts to help individual users track remaining quota.

* A reminder is shown when the remaining token balance in your plan falls below **10%**
  ***Reminder text***
  > You're running low on tokens — \${remaining} left in your plan. Top up or upgrade now to keep your work uninterrupted.

Usage alerts apply to:

* Free plan token quota
* Included token quota in paid individual plans

<Note>
  If you upgrade from Free to a paid individual plan while your remaining balance is already low, CodeBanana will not immediately send the same low-token reminder again.
</Note>
