# Kwern pricing

> Your model key, your accounts, your approval on every post. The plan decides how many products you run.

Canonical URL: https://kwern.app/pricing
Prices in USD, excluding VAT, at the prices Stripe has charged since 15 September 2026.

Kwern pays for the reads its agents cannot do without. The model runs on your own provider key, so the tokens are billed to you by the provider, at the provider's price, and never marked up here.

## What a read costs

Your plan's usage pays for the reads Kwern buys on your behalf, at the prices below. It starts again every month and does not roll over. Top-ups from $10, they never expire, and they are spent after the plan's usage, at the same prices. Running out slows an agent down rather than stopping it.

## What Kwern pays for

- Every agent, every skill in the catalogue and every service you can connect.
- The X and Reddit reads an agent needs to find the posts and threads worth answering.
- The search, keyword and link data the SEO and GEO agents read, at the published price.
- The site crawl, the App Store listing read and the visibility probe.

## What stays yours

- Your model provider's API key. Every run is billed by them, at their price, on your account.
- Your own accounts on X, LinkedIn, Reddit, App Store Connect, Google Play, Apple Ads, Google Ads, GitHub, PostHog and RevenueCat.
- Image generation, off until you turn it on and point it at a key.

## What is never charged for

- Per seat. One person owns a product; there is nothing to invite.
- Per post, per reply, per proposal. What Kwern publishes for you costs nothing, and an agent that has a busy week costs the same as one that does not.
- A setup fee, an onboarding call or a minimum term.

## Questions about the price

### What is the difference between the three plans?

How many products you run, and nothing else. Every agent, all 75 skills and all 11 services are in all three plans: Lite covers one product, Pro three, Max five, and each comes with the usage those products need.

### What does Kwern pay for?

The reads its agents need that are not yours to buy: the X searches that find the posts worth answering, the search, keyword, ranking and link data behind the SEO and GEO agents, the crawl of your own site, the App Store listing read and the visibility probe.

### What stays on my own key?

The model, and your own accounts. Kwern runs on your provider key, so every run is billed to you by the provider at the provider's price. The same is true of the services you connect: they are your accounts and your quotas.

### What does a plan's usage pay for?

The reads Kwern buys for you, each at the price the grid on this page lists, and never a model turn, which runs on your own key. It starts again every month and does not roll over. Max comes with 5× Lite's usage, which is more than every agent of a product spends with all of them switched on.

### What happens when the usage runs out?

Nothing stops. Your agents keep running on your own key; the reads Kwern would have paid for are skipped, each one leaving a line in the journal, and they resume the day your usage starts again or the moment you buy a top-up. Top-ups from $10, they never expire.

### Do you charge per seat?

No. One person owns a product, and there is nobody to invite. If you run several products you pay for the plan that covers them, not for a row of empty chairs.

### Do you charge per post, per reply or per proposal?

No. An agent that has a busy week costs the same as one that has a quiet one, and the defaults make about 110 runs a month either way. The only things that move with volume are the reads Kwern pays for, at the grid's prices, and what your model provider bills you, and you can see both per run.

### What does the model itself cost?

Whatever your provider charges. Across the 11 models Kwern vets, input runs from $0.10 to $10 per million tokens and output from $0.50 to $50. Kwern records the cost of every run, so the bill is never a surprise.
