Pricing

Clear limits. No mystery checkmarks.

Every plan starts with K-AI 1.0. Compare exact model requests, context, imports, storage, search, creative tools and AI usage credits before you choose.

Monthly or annual

Start small. Move up when the work grows.

Plus is the best fit for most people. Pro and Max add Live, Canvas, Kode and Frontier models for more demanding work.

How credits work

Access is included. Metered AI work uses credits.

AI usage credits keep different models and tools on one understandable balance. They do not charge you merely for opening a feature.

Feature access

Pro and Max include Canvas and Kode access. Opening, editing or organising work in those tools does not spend credits.

AI work

Paid-model requests, web search, K-Image, K-Video, Live, Canvas AI actions and Kode AI runs use the shared credit balance.

Two safeguards

Each plan has request limits and a credit balance. Costlier model groups and heavier tools use more credits than Basic requests.

Basic request

1 credit

Pro request

6 credits

Frontier request

25 credits

Web search

4 credits

K-Image

20 credits

K-Video

from 15/second

Kontinue Live

2/second

Kode AI unit (up to 25K tokens)

25 credits

These are operation rates. The feature-specific request, duration and build ceilings in the comparison table still apply.

AI and models

K-AI requests

1,000/month

Monthly requests to Kontinue AI’s native intelligence layer.

Basic-model requests

—

Cost-efficient models for everyday writing, analysis, coding and multimodal work. Requests also draw from AI usage credits.

Pro-model requests

—

Higher-capability models such as supported GPT, Claude Sonnet, Gemini Pro and Perplexity options. Requests also draw from AI usage credits.

Frontier-model requests

—

Our most capable included models, with tighter context and request limits because their provider costs are higher.

AI usage credits

250

Shared metering for paid chat tokens and K-AI fallbacks, web search, K-Image, K-Video, Kontinue Live, AI actions in Canvas, and Kode AI runs. Simply opening Canvas or Kode does not use credits.

Included model access

K-AI

The exact catalogue can change as providers release, reprice or retire models. Kontinue shows only the models available to your plan.

Context per request

K-AI context / output

8K / 1K tokens

Context includes system instructions, conversation history, files, tools and retrieved memory. Output is the maximum generated response.

Basic context / output

—

Maximum total input context and generated output for Basic models.

Pro context / output

—

Maximum total input context and generated output for Pro models.

Frontier context / output

—

Maximum total input context and generated output for Frontier models.

Conversations and files

Conversation imports

10/month

Imports created from supported shared links or data exports. Fair-use soft caps protect the service from automated bulk abuse.

Data-import archive size

500 MB

Maximum size of a supported account or conversation archive. This is separate from chat file uploads.

Chat file uploads

—

Files attached directly to conversations for analysis. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC.

Maximum chat file size

—

Stored files

—

Storage for uploaded documents and media. This is separate from searchable AI memory.

Export and import your data

Download supported Kontinue data and import supported exports without losing ownership of your information.

Search and creation

Web searches

30/month

Provider-backed searches that retrieve current web information. A search also consumes AI usage credits.

Search availability

K-AI only

K-Image generations

—

Monthly safety cap for K-Image. Each generation also consumes AI usage credits based on provider cost.

K-Video generation

—

Maximum generated video duration per month. Video generation also consumes AI usage credits and varies by resolution and quality.

Memory and professional tools

AI memory

0.5 MB

Searchable memories Kontinue can retrieve to personalise future work. This is not ordinary file storage.

Kontinue Live

—

Realtime voice sessions. Session time and the underlying realtime model usage both count toward your plan limits.

Canvas

The Canvas workspace is included on Pro and Max. Opening and editing Canvas does not consume credits; AI generation inside it does.

Kode

—

Kode access and build-count limits are included. Kode reserves AI units while it works and returns unused units. One unit covers up to 25K model tokens and costs 25 shared AI usage credits.

Request counts are monthly safety ceilings. AI usage credits are shared across metered AI work, so higher-cost model groups, media, Live and Kode use the balance faster. Limits reset monthly at 00:00 UTC.
