Plans & Pricing

Tanzanite is usage-based. You can pay as you go with prepaid credits, or take a monthly plan that includes a usage allotment. Everything is priced in USD and there are no surprises — you only pay for what the agent actually uses.

  • Free is genuinely free for local projects on the desktop app — the on-device model runs entirely on your machine at no cost. With prepaid credits, free users can also use ephemeral chat and media generation. Free accounts cannot create cloud projects (see gating below).
  • Plus unlocks cloud projects — cloud models and the agent tier (including sub-agents) — and includes about $25 of monthly usage.
  • Pro is for heavier and team usage: a larger monthly allotment and higher limits.

Credits

Section titled “Credits”

Credits are prepaid and never expire while your account is active. Top up any time. When you’re on a plan, usage draws from your monthly allotment first; once that’s exhausted it only draws from credits if you’ve opted in to fallback to credits (otherwise the run pauses and prompts you to upgrade or top up). Pay-as-you-go (no plan) usage draws directly from credits.

Manage your plan, see your balance, and buy credits from Account → Billing.

What requires a plan (gating)

Section titled “What requires a plan (gating)”

Creating or running a cloud project requires an active plan (Plus or Pro). If you’re on the Free plan and try to create a cloud project — or start a cloud run — Tanzanite shows an upgrade prompt instead. Local projects are always available on the desktop app, free of charge.

This keeps the free tier genuinely free (the on-device model has zero marginal cost) while tying cloud usage — which has real costs — to a paid plan.
