Simple by design

One plan. Every way you use HumanShade.

Top-ups start at $5. Purchased credits never expire, and HumanShade automatically spends monthly credits first. An active plan is required to buy and use top-ups.

Pro removes the daily count cap, while normal throughput, concurrency, request-size, and abuse protections still apply.

One account, without an account-type decision.

Can I use a plan only through the API?: Yes. Every plan can be used entirely through API or MCP requests.
Does my plan include API usage?: Yes. The same word credits power the Playground, API, and MCP.
Can I use both?: Yes. All surfaces consume the same transparent credit balance.
