cognira plans and what they include

cognira sells one model at three usage levels. All tiers run the same cognira Retrain 12B model with the same features, so the plans differ only by weekly token allowance, counting input and output together. Free is £0 forever with 25K tokens per week, resetting every Monday. Pro is £15 per month for 500K tokens per week, which is 20 times the free allowance. Max is £30 per month for 2M tokens per week.

Prices are listed in GBP only; no USD price is given. The API is billed separately at £1.50 per 1M tokens with a £5 minimum top-up. Prices checked on 2026-09-29.
