Model costs
Transparent pricing for every model on Qlaus. Costs are shown in credits — per 1M tokens for input/output, and a flat per-message credit charge.
Per-model pricing
Credits are how Qlaus bills usage. Each message costs a flat number of credits — the per-1M-token rates show the underlying model cost in credits.
| Model | Tier | Input / 1M | Output / 1M | Credits / message | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qlaus Mini | Balanced | 50 credits | 420 credits | 1 | Fast everyday chat — free tier |
| Qlaus Pro | Heavy | 210 credits | 1,670 credits | 5 | Hardest problems, deepest reasoning — Pro plan |
Rule of thumb
Free plan gives you 5 credits/day. Pro gives 1,500 credits/month — that's 1,500 Mini messages or 300 Pro messages.
Long chats cost more
The full conversation is re-sent each turn. A 20-message thread can cost 10–20× a fresh chat. Start a new chat to save credits.
Pick the right tier
Use Light for quick answers, Balanced for daily work, and Heavy only when the task needs deep reasoning or long context.
