Formula and billing assumptions
Credits = conversations × AI replies × credits per reply, rounded up. Or enter measured credits directly.
Minimum packs = round up max(0, usage − monthly allowance − prepaid balance) ÷ 1,000. Additional cash = monthly subscription + packs × $40 + selected add-ons.
This is a minimum volume-coverage calculation, not a quote or predicted invoice. A positive auto-recharge threshold can buy packs earlier and leave more unused credits. We assume the monthly allowance is used before prepaid credits; actual consumption ordering was not independently verified. Unused subscription credits expire; remaining recharge credits do not expire.
All comparisons start at a calendar-month boundary and keep one plan for the whole month. They exclude annual billing, midmonth upgrades, prorations, discounts, taxes, voice/telephony fees and other usage charges. Free and Enterprise are outside this paid-plan comparison. Check actions, integrations, source size and other limits before purchasing. Seat add-ons are not assumed.
