How it's calculated
- For each tool, the cheapest plan that covers your usage is selected.
- Unlimited plans cost their base price; plans with overage add the excess.
- Tools whose credit cost varies by model and have no official conversion are excluded and listed separately.
- KRW uses the day's rate, before tax and fees. Default view is per-month price on annual billing.
