Pricing rates
The per-token rates behind every charge.
Contrast bills AI usage by the token, at a fixed retail rate per model. Every
table on this page is generated from the live registries, so it always matches
what Billing in your account settings reports and what your balance is
actually charged.
Everything that can charge you
Nothing outside this table bills.
Per-token model rates
Rates are dollars per million tokens. Starter includes the efficient default route; Pro adds Smart routing across supported model bands.
Prompt cache reads and writes bill at each model’s reduced cache rates, so long sessions cost less than the raw input rate suggests.
Asset generation rates
Agents can generate custom assets for your app: bespoke images (logos, splash art, illustration, game art) and music or ambient tracks. Generation bills per unit, from the same usage pool as tokens.
Every generation is a ledger line item, so it shows up in Billing under its own Generation category. Expensive single generations require your explicit ok in chat before they run; cheap iterations run without the ceremony.
Charged usage
Everything you are charged for while building draws from a single Build pool per account: agents and chat, generated assets, cloud builds, and previews.
Production hosting has a $10 monthly managed-platform base per live web project, and a custom domain is included with it. Run usage from published-app activity, data, files, and in-app AI is not charged while durable metering is built and calibrated.
How your balance is drawn down
Spend is covered in a fixed order each period:
- Available account credits: including an eligible Peach first top-up match.
- Included allowance: $5 each month on Starter with an eligible card and auto top-up enabled, $10 each month on Contrast Pro, and $20 each month on Peach Team.
- Prepaid balance: funds you add yourself.
When the included usage runs out you can add prepaid balance or set a hard monthly spending cap in Billing. Usage past the cap is refused rather than billed.
Contrast Pro is $10/mo or $100/yr, with the first month at $5, up to 10 members and cloud runs that continue unattended. Peach Team is $30/mo or $300/yr for companies under 25 people and under $3M yearly revenue. Yearly gives you two months free. Both products share one wallet and sell separate subscriptions.
