Credit Packs

In tokens — the small chunks of text a model reads and writes (roughly ¾ of a word each). A standard analysis reads the article and writes up its findings, which comes to about 5,000 tokens for an average-length article on a 1× model — that's where “~5,000 tokens per analysis” comes from (a longer article reads more, so it costs more). We then multiply the tokens by the model's rate, from 1× for standard models up to 10× for the most expensive, so the same article costs up to ten times as many tokens on a 10× model.

The cost comes out of your monthly allowance first, then your credit packs (the Power pack is 5,000,000 tokens — about 1,000 analyses on a 1× model, about 500 on the 2× default, or ~100 on a top tier). Cached community results are always free, on every plan — you only ever pay for a fresh analysis. See the model tiers page for multipliers.

An analysis's real cost depends on the article's length and the model you choose, so we charge the actual tokens used instead of a flat per-analysis fee. A flat fee would either be set low (and lose money on long, premium analyses) or set high (and overcharge you on short ones) — charging real usage is fairer, and a short article on a fast model can cost a small fraction of a heavy one.

The analysis counts we quote are honest estimates from typical usage; your token balance is always exact. Because you only pay for the tokens each analysis actually uses, the same allowance or pack can stretch to more or fewer analyses than the number shown — and the estimate gets more accurate the longer you use BiasChecker, as it learns from your own reading. Sign in and the estimates on the plan and pack cards update to your own usage.

Yes — buy a credit pack and use it at your own pace, no subscription required. Packs are the same price for everyone, but subscribers get more for it: an active subscription adds bonus credits to every pack (Lite and Pro +25%, Premium +50%). As a pay-as-you-go user you buy packs at the base amount, your credits fund each fresh analysis, and you don't get a monthly quota. Cached community results are free for everyone. For regular use, a Lite subscription ($8/mo) adds ~600 monthly analyses on a 1× model (~300 on the 2× default) and the pack bonus. View credit packs →

Packs expire 3 months from the date of purchase. If you buy more than one, each expires on its own date, and the soonest-to-expire is spent first. Packs are used after your monthly plan allowance is exhausted.

Yes. While you have an active subscription, every credit pack you buy comes with bonus credits at no extra cost — Lite and Pro get +25%, and Premium gets +50%. For example, on Premium a Plus Pack gives you 3,750,000 tokens instead of 2,500,000, and a Power Pack 7,500,000 instead of 5,000,000. The bonus is applied automatically at checkout based on your plan at the time of purchase; packs bought without an active subscription get the base amount.

Yes — sign in before buying and the per-pack “≈ analyses” figures update to your account's real usage. We blend the actual cost of the models and article lengths you typically analyse, so the estimate reflects how you actually use BiasChecker rather than a typical reader. Signed-in subscribers also see their bonus credits already applied to the totals.

You can get your money back within 14 days of any purchase, no reason needed, wherever you live. Because access starts immediately, the refund may be reduced by the value of what you have already used, priced at what you paid for those credits. Bonus credits are a gift rather than a purchase, so they carry no cash value and are not refunded. One window covers everything, subscriptions and credit packs alike. Separately, if an analysis comes back unusable we put the tokens back rather than have you pay for it, so just tell us. Refunds are processed by Stripe (Link), the merchant of record; cancelling a subscription stops future charges. See our refund policy for details.
