The math
SubscriptionCredits / quotaModel pricingDealsRequestsReal work

Not every product fills in every step the same way. A flat subscription has no "credits," a bring-your-own-key tool has no subscription at all. We show "Not available" rather than force a number that isn't real.

Beyond the pooled number

Every comparison also breaks down per-model allowances ("The Ledger") and a six-axis normalized scorecard ("The Shape") — not just one blended figure.

Credits per subscription dollar

Monthly credits ÷ subscription price, for every credit-metered plan across every product. Flat-subscription, pay-as-you-go and bring-your-own-key plans don't have a comparable ratio and are excluded rather than estimated.
