Plans & billing
One price for both models. Pay by card or mobile money, and stop by simply not renewing.
Every new account starts with 1,000,000 free tokens, credited when you confirm your email. No card needed, and they never expire.
| Plan | Price | Up to, per day | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | — | 150,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Pro | $17 / month | 10,000,000 | 25,000,000 |
| Max | $35 / month | 20,000,000 | 55,000,000 |
| Ultra | $89 / month | 50,000,000 | 140,000,000 |
| Team | $22 / person / month | 10,000,000 each | 25,000,000 each |
Every plan includes both models — Akili Fundi (Code) and Akili Core — all three faces (Build, Motion and Work), and the Gmail and Google Drive connectors. The difference is headroom, not features. Nothing is held back from the Free plan except volume.
Two limits, and why
The daily limit is how much you can use in one day — it is what lets a big day of work happen. It resets at midnight UTC.
The monthly allowance is what the plan buys: a rolling 30 days. It frees up gradually as older days fall out of the window, rather than all at once on a date.
Both are enforced at the gateway. A request that starts with allowance left is allowed to finish; the next one is refused, and the run pauses — everything written so far stays on disk, and /continue picks it up once there is allowance again.
What a token buys
Tokens are counted the way they cost: fresh input and output in full, and cached input at 2%. On a long agent run most of the context is cache, which is why a whole app typically needs only a few hundred thousand tokens — our measured average is about 0.4M per complete build, and small tools use far less. The app’s meter shows exactly what each run used.
Credits
Top-ups add tokens that are spent only once your plan’s daily or monthly allowance is used up, and they never expire. 5M for $5, 20M for $19, 60M for $54. They exist for two reasons: an unusually heavy week, and mobile money.
Mobile money has no dependable recurring charge — a one-off push is how the rail actually works. If you pay that way, a top-up is the natural motion rather than a workaround, and you are never surprised by a failed auto-renewal.
Paying
Payments run through DPO Pay, which settles locally and accepts cards and mobile money across East Africa. You are sent to DPO's own page to pay; card details never touch Akili.
A payment is only credited once Akili has asked DPO directly what happened — the redirect back to the site never decides anything on its own. If you are ever charged and your plan does not change, tell us: every attempt is recorded against a reference, so it can be traced and put right.
Changing plan
- Upgrading takes effect as soon as the payment clears. Your access token keeps working — its cap is raised in place, so nothing signs out.
- Renewing early extends your period rather than restarting it. Paying on the 20th adds a month to what you have left.
- Stopping needs no cancellation. Let it lapse and you return to Free — your organization, projects and credits stay exactly where they are.
Who can pay
Only the organization owner can change the plan or buy credits. Everyone else in the organization gets the allowance without needing access to billing.
