We currently offer three subscription tiers: Pro, Premium and Premium+.
Users who subscribed before December 2025 are on the Pro tier.
Starting from December 2025, we introduced the Premium and Premium+ tier for new and existing users who want more powerful AI features.
Pricing
Tier | Monthly Plan | Yearly Plan |
Pro (early bird) | $9.99 | $83.88 |
Pro | $11.99 | $107.88 |

Note:
All prices are shown in USD and may be subject to additional VAT or other taxes depending on your billing country or region.
Your price depends on whether you're an early bird and whether you pay monthly or yearly. But the features you get depend only on your tier: Pro, Premium or Premium+.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’m on the Pro plan but want to use OpenAI and Anthropic models. What should I do?
You have two options:
Upgrade to Premium or Premium+
Upgrading gives you access to OpenAI and Anthropic models and more credits.
Bring your own API key
You can connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key. Please refer to this setup guide for detailed instructions.
Q: My credits are used up. How can I continue using AI chat?
It depends on your plan:
If you’re on Pro:
You can upgrade to Premium or Premium+.
This will:
Charge you immediately,
Start a new billing cycle, and
Grant you the full Premium or Premium+ credit amount.
If you don’t want to upgrade:
You can bring your own API key. Please refer to this setup guide for detailed instructions.
If you’re on Premium or Premium+:
You can continue using Basic models (currently Gemini 3 Flash and GPT 5 mini) without limits.
You can also bring your own API key to keep using higher-tier models.
We do not yet support purchasing extra credits as an add-on, but this is on our roadmap.
Q: How can I see how many credits I have and how many are left?
You can check your usage status here:
Go to Settings → AI Features → View usage section on the top.
Q: I’m an early bird Pro user. Do I get a discount on the Premium or Premium+ plan?
No, there is no additional discount on the Premium or Premium+ plan for early bird Pro plan users.
As an early bird user, we promise that you can keep your early bird Pro pricing forever. Your Pro plan price will not change.
However, the cost of providing Premium or Premium+ is significantly higher, so we are unable to offer extra discounts on Premium or Premium+.
If you upgrade to Premium or Premium+ and later decide to downgrade back to Pro:
You will return to your original early bird Pro price.
Q: If I change my plan, what happens to my existing AI credits?
Under the current Heptabase billing system, there are two main ways you can change your plan:
Changing your billing cycle (Monthly ↔ Yearly)
Changing your tier (Pro ↔ Premium)
Case 1: Changing between Monthly and Yearly (same tier)
If you only change your billing cycle and do not change your tier, we will:
Reset the billing cycle of your credits, but
Not reset your existing credits balance.
Example:
If you subscribe to Pro Monthly on December 1, 2025, and then switch to Pro Yearly on December 10, 2025:
Your credit billing cycle is reset as of December 10, 2025.
Your current credits are not reset at the moment you switch.
Your next monthly credit refresh will occur on January 10, 2026 (based on the new billing cycle).
Case 2: Changing between Pro and Premium or Premium+
If you change your tier:
Pro → Premium (upgrade)
You will immediately receive a full, fresh set of Premium credits.
Premium → Pro (downgrade)
Any unused Premium credits do not carry over.
Your balance will immediately become a full, fresh set of Pro credits.
Because of this, we generally do not recommend downgrading mid-cycle to a lower tier.
Premium → Pro → Premium within the same billing cycle
If you switch from Premium to Pro and then back to Premium within the same billing cycle, you will not receive another full Premium credit refill when you switch back.
In summary, if you're upgrading from Pro to Premium or Premium+, you'll get an instant full refill of Premium or Premium+ credits. In all other cases, we recommend waiting until your current subscription period ends before changing plans.
