AI tokens, honestly explained.
Every AI plan is sold in tokens. Here is what that actually means, in rupees and sense, and why 530M tokens a month is a bigger deal than it sounds.
What is a token?
A token is the small chunk of text an AI model reads and writes. Roughly one English word is one to two tokens — "unlimited" is one token, while "500 million" is three. Every prompt you send and every answer you receive is metered in tokens.
Free tokens vs Pro tokens
| Free lane | Pro lane | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly volume | 500 million | 30 million |
| Best for | Everyday drafting, explaining, rewriting | Long refactors, deep analysis, priority speed |
| Speed tier | Fast and dependable | Priority infrastructure, faster responses |
Think of it as economy and business class on the same airline. Both get you there; the Pro lane moves faster when the work is heavy.

The monthly refresh
Unlimited is a monthly subscription. At the start of each paid month your 500M free + 30M Pro pools refresh in full. Unused tokens do not roll over — and that is exactly why the plan feels unlimited: a fresh mountain every month, with no accumulation anxiety.
