Billing and Pricing
Billing settings live in workspace administration. Use them to review your plan, track AI usage, and manage the workspace subscription. If you don’t see billing controls, you may not have the required workspace permissions.
Type offers five self-serve tiers. Three tiers share the Enterprise name at different price points. Every tier includes a set number of team members and a shared pool of AI usage for the workspace.
| Plan | Price | Included team members | Included AI usage per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type Basic | $50/month | 2 | $100 |
| Type Pro | $100/month | 4 | $200 |
| Type Enterprise | $250/month | 20 | $500 |
| Type Enterprise | $500/month | 40 | $1,000 |
| Type Enterprise | $750/month | 60 | $1,500 |
Included AI usage is metered at provider rates (see How AI usage is priced below). Staff-granted credits, when present, raise the allowance for the period.
Type also offers custom contracts for teams with more than 60 members or volume, security, and procurement requirements beyond these plans. Get in touch to discuss one.
Free trial and trial credits
Section titled “Free trial and trial credits”New workspaces start with a 14-day free trial that includes AI usage as trial credits: $100 when you sign up with a work email, or $10 when you sign up with a personal email (like Gmail). Trial credits let the whole workspace use AI before adding a payment method.
Trial credits expire at the end of the trial window. When they’re used up or expired, choose a paid plan to resume usage.
How AI usage is priced
Section titled “How AI usage is priced”Type doesn’t have its own per-model price list. For requests billed to the workspace allowance, whatever model you pick in the model picker is metered at the provider’s current published API rates, the same rates you’d pay by using Anthropic or OpenAI directly:
- Anthropic (Claude models): Anthropic’s pricing page
- OpenAI (Codex and GPT models): OpenAI’s pricing page
That metered cost is what draws down your plan’s included AI usage. Provider details like prompt-caching multipliers and long-context pricing apply exactly as the provider publishes them. When providers change their rates, Type’s metering follows. Requests that run through a connected personal subscription are covered by that subscription instead and aren’t metered against the workspace at all.
Because pricing passes through from the provider, your model choice is the biggest lever on cost: flagship models like Claude Opus 5 cost more per token than faster models like Claude Sonnet or Codex 5.6 Luna. Adjust the default model and reasoning effort per Space in Space settings.
Fast usage
Section titled “Fast usage”Fast mode runs on the provider’s premium processing tiers and is metered at those premium rates:
- Claude Fast is metered at Anthropic’s fast mode rates, including the provider’s prompt-caching multipliers. The usage is attributed to the workspace of the person who selected Fast.
- Codex Fast requires that person’s connected ChatGPT subscription and consumes the provider’s Fast credits. Until Codex reports a confirmed served tier in its turn usage, Type records those turns as unpriced instead of charging a standard or assumed priority rate against the workspace allowance.
Managing your costs
Section titled “Managing your costs”A few ways to keep AI spend predictable:
- Connect your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription. Requests that run through your own subscription don’t draw down the workspace allowance at all. If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, this alone can save you a lot. See Use your Claude and Codex subscriptions.
- Pick the right model for the work. Provider rates vary widely between models. Set cheaper defaults for Spaces that do routine work and reserve flagship models for the work that needs them.
- Tune reasoning effort. Lower effort settings use fewer tokens for the same request.
- Watch cost and subscription coverage. In Settings → Usage → Cost, admins can see Type-credit spend, filter Claude or Codex coverage, and identify teammates whose eligible runs fell back to Type credits. Billing settings continue to show current usage against the workspace allowance.
Approaching and reaching your allowance
Section titled “Approaching and reaching your allowance”As your usage approaches the allowance, workspace admins get a notice and an in-app banner:
- At ~80% of the allowance, you get an early heads-up so there are no surprises.
- At 100%, what happens next depends on your auto-upgrade preference:
- Auto-upgrade off (default): new AI work pauses when the allowance is reached. Upgrade the plan, enable auto-upgrade, add credits, or wait for the next billing period to resume.
- Auto-upgrade on: after a short notice period, your plan automatically moves to the next price point (Basic $50 → Pro $100 → Enterprise $250 → Enterprise $500 → Enterprise $750) so work continues uninterrupted. You’ll always hear about the change before it takes effect.
Enterprise $750 is the top self-serve price point, so it never auto-upgrades. Above its allowance, AI work continues and admins keep getting warnings. If you regularly exceed that allowance, a custom contract is the right next step.
Toggle auto-upgrade in billing settings. Owners and admins can change it.
