Metered AI Pricing (Creator Plan)​

If you're on the Creator plan, you can access metered AI services and only pay for what you use. Here's how it works:

How Metered Billing Works​

  1. Usage up to $1 per billing period is free. If your total metered AI usage fees for a billing period are at or below one U.S. dollar (US $1.00), you will not be charged for that period.
  2. Once usage exceeds $1, the full period is billed. If your total metered AI usage fees exceed US $1.00 in a billing period, Bookcicle bills you for the full metered usage in that billing period (not just the amount above $1).
  3. Billing periods follow your subscription. Your metered AI usage is grouped by your subscription’s billing period (e.g., monthly), not by calendar month.
  4. Small markup helps fund the platform (infrastructure, security, and distributed “agent swarms”).

AI Provider Pricing​

Bookcicle partners with multiple AI providers. Pricing varies by provider and model. For each provider, you'll find:

  • Model name and type (text or image)
  • Input and output token pricing (for text models)
  • Image generation pricing (for image models)
  • Markups (typically a small percentage to support Bookcicle)
  • Deprecated models are clearly marked and may be unavailable

Example (Text Model)​

  • Input per 1M tokens: $X.XX
  • Output per 1M tokens: $X.XX
  • 50,000 input tokens ≈ $X.XX (~37,500 words)

Example (Image Model)​

  • Standard image: $X.XX per image
  • High-res image: $X.XX per image

Tip: You can always view the latest metered AI pricing in your account or on the AI Pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions​

What does “unlimited” mean?​

“Unlimited” AI usage is subject to a fair-usage policy to ensure service quality for all users.

Are cloud storage limits strict?​
