What each AI task costs
Quiddy and Kody draw from a single monthly pool of AI Tokens that belongs to the whole account: if you run several academies, they share it. Each task spends a fixed number of tokens, shown below. Summaries and concept maps are priced by the page range of the source document; pasted text is converted into pages by its number of words. You always see the exact price before you click Generate.
| AI task | What it does | Cost in AI Tokens | Plans that include it | Caps (daily and monthly) |

Only what is delivered is charged
If you ask Quiddy for twenty questions and it delivers seventeen, you pay for seventeen. A generation, summary or website that fails spends nothing. Regenerating a single question costs the same as a new question of that generation, and only if the new one passes the checks.
Daily AI usage limit
- Besides the AI Token pool, your plan has a daily AI usage limit, so the whole month can’t be spent in a single day.
- If the account bought an AI Token pack this month, the daily limit goes up by 50%.
- It belongs to the account: in an account with several academies, they all share the same daily limit.
- Once the limit is reached, new AI tasks resume the next day. Tasks already running always finish.
- Tudy is not affected by this limit.
Why some tokens are reserved
When a task starts, Acatudy sets its tokens aside so that two tasks running at the same time never spend the same tokens. In the AI Tokens meter you see them as reserved until the task ends.
- When you send a task (for example, a summary or 20 questions), its AI Tokens are reserved.
- While it is queued or running, those tokens cannot be used for another task, so two tasks at the same time never spend the same tokens.
- On delivery, only what was actually delivered is charged (fewer questions, lower cost).
- If the task fails, the whole reservation is released and goes back to your balance.
- If a task gets stuck for more than 2 hours, its reservation is released automatically.
You can leave the page while a task runs: you get a notification when it is ready, and the reserved tokens turn into spent tokens (or go back to your balance) on their own.
Monthly pool by plan
Every paid plan includes a pool of AI Tokens each month. It renews in full on the first day of each calendar month; unused tokens from the monthly pool do not roll over. The pool is spent first and, once it reaches zero, the tokens from the packs you bought, oldest first.
| Plan | AI Tokens per month |
|---|---|
| Free | 0 |
| Basic | 200 |
| Pro | 800 |
| Institutional | 2,000 |
Need more? AI Token packs
Open Expand resources → AI Tokens from the dashboard or from My subscription. Packs are a one-time payment: they never renew or expire, and they are only used once the monthly pool runs out. Only an administrator with billing permission can buy them (in an account with several academies, the owner). If what you would spend on packs in a month reaches the price difference with the next plan, upgrading is cheaper and we recommend it.
| Pack | Price (one-time payment) | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| 100 AI Tokens | 4.99 (USD or EUR) | Basic, Pro, Institutional |
| 250 AI Tokens | 10.99 (USD or EUR) | Basic, Pro, Institutional |
| 500 AI Tokens (most popular) | 19.99 (USD or EUR) | Basic, Pro, Institutional |
| 1,000 AI Tokens | 36.99 (USD or EUR) | Basic, Pro, Institutional |
| 2,000 AI Tokens | 69.99 (USD or EUR) | Pro, Institutional |
Maximum tokens bought per month: Basic 1,500 · Pro 3,000 · Institutional 5,000
Where to see your balance
The AI Tokens meter in the Your plan widget, My subscription, Quiddy and Kody show the tokens available right now (monthly pool plus packs), the reserved tokens and what you have spent this month by tool. We warn you when you reach most of the monthly pool and when it runs out. You can also ask Tudy, the help assistant, how many tokens you have left or how many summaries you can still make today.
