| Which plan to pick | Try it on Plus with a couple of real jobs. If you hand it work most days you'll run out of credits, and that's when Pro or extra credits make sense. | If you're choosing Neon, it's for the agents, so Standard at $19.90 a month is the plan that matters. Month to month, so try it for one month on a real job. The free plan's chat is more basic than the free AI in Opera One, so only stay on Free if you want to plug in your own Claude or ChatGPT. |
