Billing

One flat subscription per tier, and every month the tier retires a FIXED basket of third-party certificates. Use a tenth of your allowance and the basket still retires in full. The basket is set by the plan, not by your estimate, and it is not a statement about your footprint. No per-credit charges, no top-up lines, nothing indexed to estimate size. How the basket sizes were chosen is on the methodology page.

Free accounts are open today. Paid tiers, which add certificate retirements, are not yet on sale. Tiers may change before launch.

Tiers

Prices exclude applicable sales tax. Each category stands on its own and is never totalled. | Enterprise | Custom | Above 1B | Negotiated volume, named projects |

Personal tiers come in echelons because individual usage spans three orders of magnitude: casual chat runs under 1M billable tokens a month, while a developer running coding agents most of the day can pass 100M. All personal echelons pool, in all three categories: each month R3CKON buys enough whole certificates to meet every member's basket in full, rounding up, and each account is allocated its basket as a share of the named retirement. What is left of a whole unit is company-owned and is drawn first the next month.

Billable tokens

Tier caps count billable tokens, not raw tokens:

billable = fresh input + output + 10% x cached input

Cache reads cost providers about a tenth of the compute, and counting them like fresh tokens would overcharge exactly the teams that engineered their usage well. The 10 percent rate is a fixed billing rule, deliberately separate from the estimation methodology: revising a methodology coefficient can change an estimate, never your bill.

Cache-heavy example: 4,000M tokens tracked, 93 percent cache reads. Billable = 280M fresh and output + 372M (10 percent of 3,720M cached) = 652M, which fits the Business tier despite four billion raw tokens.

Reasoning-heavy example: 60M input + 30M output (of which 25M are reasoning tokens), no caching. Billable = 90M, which fits the Team tier. Reasoning tokens are a reported subset of output tokens, so they are already inside the output count and are never added again; they matter to the footprint estimate, not to the bill.

Why tokens, never footprint

Your bill depends only on token counts you can audit from your provider's own reporting. No coefficient in the methodology can influence revenue, so the estimates stay honest and so does the price.

The retirement basket

Your tier's basket is pinned in writing: fixed quantities per category, published on the pricing page and in the Terms. It retires every month you are subscribed, independent of usage, including your final paid month if you cancel. Baskets may only grow or hold within your paid term; any reduction applies only at a renewal, after we email you 7 to 30 days ahead. The basket is a defined product allowance, not derived from your estimate and not a representation that any footprint is covered.

Each month's basket is ordered at that month's close. Retirements typically confirm, and certificates arrive, three to six weeks after the month ends; certificates list confirmed retirements only.

At the cap

Estimation continues past the cap; nothing is gated or interrupted. The basket stays the same. Sustained billable usage above the cap moves you to the next tier at the following billing period, only after we email you 7 to 30 days ahead with the new price and how to cancel.

Managing the subscription

Paid plans renew automatically until you cancel. The Cancel subscription button in the console, and the cancel link in every billing email, open the cancellation screen directly; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, with no fee, and paid periods are not refunded except where the law requires. Manage billing opens the Stripe customer portal for card changes and invoice history. If service lapses, your AI tools are unaffected (the platform never touches your traffic); the ledger simply stops retiring a basket after your final paid month, and your history and certificates remain accessible.

Annual billing

Personal Light bills yearly ($36/year), so payment processing fees never consume a small fee. Team ($290/year) and Business ($2,500/year) can be bought yearly, two months free. Yearly plans are charged in full at the start of each year, renew yearly until cancelled, and we email you before each yearly renewal.
