On the Free tier, requests return a 429 error. On Pro, additional tokens are billed at the standard rate. Enterprise plans have custom arrangements.
Is there a trial for Pro?
Yes — all new accounts get a 14-day Pro trial. No credit card required.
Do you offer discounts for startups or open source?
Yes. Email partners@shellapps.com with details about your project.
How does billing work for teams?
Pro is per-seat. Enterprise includes unlimited seats. Contact sales for team pricing.
