# Plans

Not liable for Swiss VAT (Art. 10(2)(a) VAT Act); no VAT is charged.

Nicht mehrwertsteuerpflichtig (Art. 10 Abs. 2 lit. a MWSTG); es wird keine MwSt erhoben.

Free is an account. Mini, Pro, Max and Ultra add the machine.

## The five plans

Free has no container. Mini, Pro and Max have one container each, in growing sizes. Ultra has up to three that share one pool of vCPU, RAM and SSD. Terminal, code execution, builder, design engine, site builder, web editor and public ports all run in a container, so they need Mini or higher. Chat, files and the vault work on every plan. Pay yearly and you pay for ten months.

Autonomous runs (`/goal`) have a limit per run, not per month: a run may go on for 4 hours on Mini, 8 on Pro and 12 on Max, then it ends and you can start a new one. Only Ultra runs around the clock (24/7).

The plan decides the hardware. Credit pays for model usage and is a separate meter: topping up never changes your plan.

## Compute boost

On Pro, Max and Ultra you can add a boost: 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and 25 GB SSD for CHF 12 a month, up to two boosts per account, cancellable monthly. Mini has no boost, because it would be larger than the plan itself. On Ultra a boost counts against the whole pool.

## Credit: the models

Credit pays for any model in the catalogue at the provider's rate plus 2 %. You can buy it on every plan, Free included, as a monthly pack (a Stripe subscription that renews until you cancel) or as a one-time manual top-up:

- Credit S: CHF 5.90 adds CHF 5.50 of credit each month.
- Credit M: CHF 15.90 adds CHF 15.00 of credit each month.
- Credit L: CHF 51.50 adds CHF 50.00 of credit each month.

A manual top-up has no ZeroLog fee and a 3 % currency buffer. It runs through MoonPay, with the minimum and checks shown at checkout. If you bring your own AI subscription or API key, that traffic does not use credit at all.

## Billing

- **Mini, Pro, Max and Ultra**: Billed **monthly or yearly through Stripe**. Yearly is ten months.
- **At checkout**: The figure shown at checkout is the authoritative one, because it is what your card is charged.
- **Changing plan**: You can change plan at any time. Stripe settles the part-month on your next invoice.
- **One at a time**: An account holds **one subscription**. Moving between plans is a change, never a second purchase.
- **Included credit**: Credit that comes with a plan is added each month after a successful invoice and is spent before credit you bought. It **expires three months** after it was added, cannot be paid out in cash and cannot be transferred.
- **Cancel**: Credit you bought stays spendable. Your containers pause at the end of the paid period, and nothing is deleted.

How changes to the terms are announced, and with what notice, is set out in [Terms section 12](https://zerolog.ch/legal#tos-12).

## Two meters

### Plan

Buys the hardware and the tools on the plates above, and on every paid plan it also fills the credit meter beside it every month.

### Credit

Buys model usage. See [Credit](https://zerolog.ch/docs/credit).

The meters stay separate: hardware never becomes credit, and credit never becomes a bigger machine. Included credit is spent before credit you bought. See the live [pricing page](https://zerolog.ch/pricing) for current prices.
