aiCatCoins, explained
No credits that vanish at month end, no per-word caps, no surprise overages. One number you can reason about.
aiCat charges for what a request actually costs to run, with a fixed markup, and shows you the number. That is the whole model.
One aiCatCoin is about 10 000 tokens of a text model — in practice, one ordinary rewrite, translation or proof-check. A dollar buys 100 of them at the base rate, which is about 1M tokens.
What a dollar buys
| Where you are | Coins per $1 | Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Base rate | 100 | ≈1M average text tokens |
| Free plan top-up | 200 (x2) | ≈2M tokens |
| Premium | 300 (x3) | ≈3M tokens |
| Team + Offline | 400 (x4) | ≈4M tokens |
| Enterprise | 1000 (x10) | ≈10M tokens |

Sending coins to someone else
You can send aiCatCoins to any email address, with a message. If they have not signed up yet, the coins wait for them. The minimum is 100 coins — high enough that nobody can farm fresh accounts for their 10-coin welcome bonus.
Ten coins are waiting, and they cost nothing

Frequently asked
Do aiCatCoins expire?
No. They stay in your account for as long as aiCat exists.
What happens when I run low?
Below 5 coins aiCat offers to switch you to a low-cost provider so you can keep working — slower and less polished, but working — and shows the upgrade offer.
Can I just pay as I go?
Yes. Attach a card, set a top-up amount from $5, and aiCat tops you up automatically at $1 = 200 coins.
What is aiCat?
aiCat is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. You select text anywhere on your computer, press one hotkey, and an AI does what you need with it — proof-read, translate, explain, check the facts, read it aloud, or answer a question about it.
Does aiCat work in every application?
Yes. It works at the operating-system level rather than through per-app plugins, so it covers native apps, browsers, IDEs, terminals and PDF viewers alike.
