Pricing details
The token-level breakdown behind the headline pricing. If you want to verify the math behind typed's Claude-equivalent tier framing, this is where it lives.
1. Headline pricing
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | Claude-equivalent usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10 | $100 | Lighter than Claude Pro -- on-ramp tier for evaluation |
| Pro | $20 | $200 | Claude Pro standard tier |
| Max | $100 | $1,000 | Claude Max 5x standard tier |
Same monthly price as Claude on Pro and Max. Annual is a 2-month discount on all three tiers.
2. Internal token quotas
These are the per-month quotas typed's quota service enforces. They are not displayed on the marketing pricing page (which uses Claude-equivalent framing per our pricing policy), but they are the underlying mechanism and are documented here so migration evaluators can map their existing Claude usage onto typed's tiers.
| Tier | Input tokens / month | Output tokens / month |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 15M | 3M |
| Pro | 45M | 9M |
| Max | 225M | 45M |
Quotas reset at the start of each calendar month UTC. The dashboard usage page shows your current period's usage in real time.
Why two numbers per tier, not one
Input and output tokens have very different costs and very different shapes in a coding workflow. A typical Claude Code session reads a lot more code than it writes -- on average about 5x more input tokens than output tokens. The 5:1 input:output ratio in the quotas above reflects that real-world shape.
If your workflow has an unusual ratio (heavy code generation, or heavy reading of large files), top-ups add both input and output tokens to your remaining balance at a fixed per-dollar rate. The exact split is the same on every top-up; you do not need to choose a side at purchase.
3. Equivalence to Claude tiers
Anthropic does not officially publish per-tier token quotas for Claude Pro or Claude Max -- the quotas are advertised in usage-window terms (5-hour rolling windows, weekly caps, etc.) rather than monthly token totals. So the equivalence below is estimated.
Methodology: we measure how many tokens a Claude Pro / Claude Max session typically consumes over the published usage windows, multiply out to a monthly figure, and pick typed quotas that match within an order-of-magnitude grain. The intent is that a customer who maxed out Claude Pro under typical coding load will not max out typed Pro under the same load.
The estimate is approximate, not certified. If you find that typed Pro feels tighter than Claude Pro on your specific workflow, email support@typed.cloud with a description of the workflow -- we collect this data to refine the quotas over time.
Cache eligibility stretches the numbers further. Prompt caching reduces effective input cost by roughly 50% on repeated-prefix workflows -- which is most of Claude Code's traffic (system prompt + tool definitions + recently-referenced files get re-sent on every turn). The headline token quotas above are billed in raw tokens; the effective working capacity on cache-friendly workflows is meaningfully higher.
4. Overage rates
When you exceed your monthly quota, you can either upgrade tiers or buy a top-up. The top-up rate is the same on every paid tier.
| typed | Claude (Extra Usage) | typed advantage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | $1.67 / M tokens | $3.00 - $5.00 / M tokens | ~45% - 67% cheaper |
| Output | $8.33 / M tokens | $15.00 - $25.00 / M tokens | ~45% - 67% cheaper |
Top-ups are sold in fixed $5, $10, $20, and $50 denominations. Each top-up adds both input and output tokens at a fixed per-dollar split (handled server-side, not a customer choice at purchase). The dashboard shows your remaining input and output token balance directly. Top-ups expire 90 days from purchase and are consumed before the next month's quota refills.
| Top-up | Input tokens added | Output tokens added |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | 1.5M | 300K |
| $10 | 3M | 600K |
| $20 | 6M | 1.2M |
| $50 | 15M | 3M |
The price differential comes from two things: typed's underlying cost-per-token is lower than Claude's published rates, and typed runs at a thinner top-up margin (~66-71%) than Claude's overage rates appear to imply. The margin still leaves enough headroom for sustainable operation; we are not subsidizing.
5. Auto-top-up at quota: optional, opt-in
Unlike Claude's 5-hour rolling windows and weekly caps, typed bills monthly. By default, requests past quota return HTTP 429 with a one-click top-up prompt -- pick a $5/$10/$20/$50 denomination and continue. Enable auto-top-up in your dashboard and the next request past quota auto-charges your configured denomination, emails you a receipt, and the session continues without prompting.
| Usage | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 0% - 80% | Normal. No banner, no friction. |
| 80% - 100% | In-app banner; email warning showing how many tokens remain. |
| 100% and beyond, auto-top-up off (default) | HTTP 429 with a one-click top-up prompt -- pick a denomination and continue. |
| 100% and beyond, auto-top-up on | Next request auto-charges your configured denomination; session continues; receipt emailed. |
Dashboard settings: toggle on/off, denomination, and an optional monthly ceiling that caps how much auto-top-up can charge in a calendar month.
6. Cache discount
Prompt caching is enabled on every paid tier and applied automatically -- you do not need to set a flag or use a non-standard API shape. If your client sends repeated prefixes (most coding clients do, because they re-send the system prompt and recent context on every turn), the repeated prefix portion is billed at roughly half the normal input rate.
We do not surface a separate "cached input" line in your usage breakdown today because the discount happens at the cost basis level, not at billing. You see the headline token count in the dashboard; the cache discount shows up as typed being able to serve the same workload within the same monthly quota and at the same overage rates as our cost basis improves.
7. Billing structure: monthly vs Claude's 5-hour windows
Claude bills against rolling 5-hour usage windows and weekly caps. typed bills monthly with auto-top-up at quota (see section 5 above).
Pick the shape that fits your work pattern:
- Steady daily usage: typed's monthly billing is friendlier -- you do not lose unused capacity at the end of every 5-hour window.
- Bursty work (long sessions twice a week, idle the rest of the time): Claude's rolling windows may suit you -- the window resets after each idle stretch.
Most coding work is closer to "steady daily" than "bursty," which is why typed defaults to monthly. If your work pattern fits Claude's windows better, keep using Claude for that workload -- the two services interoperate via the same API shape.
8. Currency, taxes, and renewals
- All prices are in USD.
- VAT / GST / sales tax is added at checkout where applicable, based on your billing address. Our payment processor (Lemonsqueezy) acts as Merchant of Record and remits tax for you.
- Subscriptions renew automatically on the same day each month (monthly plans) or each year (annual plans).
- Cancellation takes effect at the next renewal -- the remainder of your paid period is served normally. See the migrate guide section 5 and terms of service for the full sales-final policy.
