Key takeaways
- As of 2026-10-23, TyporaAI Pro costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year (about $8.33 a month, saving about 17%) and includes 2 million tokens each month with no API key required [1].
- The Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) plan costs $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year (about $4.17 a month, saving about 30%) and connects to your own OpenAI, Claude, or xAI developer key [1] [2].
- The subscription price gap is $4.00 per month on monthly billing and $50.00 per year on annual billing, and every writing, humanizer, and typing feature is identical across all four plans [1].
- In TyporaAI's published model catalog, default balanced models cost $2.50 input / $15 output per million tokens for GPT-5.6 Terra, $3 input / $15 output per million tokens for Claude Sonnet 5, and $2 input / $6 output per million tokens for Grok 4.5 [3].
- Chat subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and X Premium are separate consumer products that do not provide developer API keys or cover TyporaAI subscription billing [2].
All four TyporaAI plans share the same features and differ only by AI billing
Unlike tiered software that locks speed controls or humanizer modes behind higher plans, TyporaAI ships the exact same desktop features on every plan [1]. Your choice on the TyporaAI pricing page is strictly whether TyporaAI pays the AI provider bill or you pay the provider directly through your own API key [1] [2].
| Plan Name | Price & Cadence | Monthly Equivalent & Savings | AI Token & Key Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro (Monthly) | $9.99 per month [1] | $9.99 a month (baseline) [1] | AI included: 2 million tokens each month, no API key needed [1] |
| Pro Annual | $99.99 per year [1] | About $8.33 a month, saving about 17% [1] | AI included: 2 million tokens each month, no API key needed [1] |
| Monthly (BYOK) | $5.99 per month [1] | $5.99 a month plus provider API usage [1] | Requires 1 API key from OpenAI, Claude, or xAI stored on your computer [1] [2] |
| Annual (BYOK) | $49.99 per year [1] | About $4.17 a month, saving about 30% [1] | Requires 1 API key from OpenAI, Claude, or xAI stored on your computer [1] [2] |
What 2 million tokens and single-paper runs cost across OpenAI, Claude, and xAI
On the Bring-Your-Own-Key plan, your key stays on your computer and talks directly to the provider you select [2]. TyporaAI publishes its live desktop model list at `/api/models` so you can see the exact per-million-token rates before choosing a model [3].
In the published catalog, default balanced models are priced at $2.50 input / $15 output per million tokens for OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Terra, $3 input / $15 output per million tokens for Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5, and $2 input / $6 output per million tokens for xAI's Grok 4.5 [3]. Enabling Make it sound human on the Writing style screen can send the draft to your selected provider for up to two extra calls, which increases token consumption per paper [4] [5].
| Provider | Model Label (ID) | Tier | Input / 1M Tokens | Output / 1M Tokens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | GPT-5.6 Sol (gpt-5.6-sol) | Best | $5.00 [3] | $30.00 [3] |
| OpenAI | GPT-5.6 Terra (gpt-5.6-terra, default) | Balanced | $2.50 [3] | $15.00 [3] |
| OpenAI | GPT-5.6 Luna (gpt-5.6-luna) | Cheap | $1.00 [3] | $6.00 [3] |
| OpenAI | GPT-5.4 Nano (gpt-5.4-nano) | Cheapest | $0.20 [3] | $1.25 [3] |
| Claude | Claude Fable 5 (claude-fable-5) | Best | $10.00 [3] | $50.00 [3] |
| Claude | Claude Opus 5 (claude-opus-5) | Best | $5.00 [3] | $25.00 [3] |
| Claude | Claude Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5, default) | Balanced | $3.00 [3] | $15.00 [3] |
| Claude | Claude Haiku 4.5 (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) | Cheapest | $1.00 [3] | $5.00 [3] |
| xAI | Grok 4.5 (grok-4.5, default) | Best | $2.00 [3] | $6.00 [3] |
| xAI | Grok 4.3 (grok-4.3) | Balanced | $1.25 [3] | $2.50 [3] |
| xAI | Grok Build (grok-build-0.1) | Cheapest | $1.00 [3] | $2.00 [3] |
Because the subscription difference between Monthly BYOK ($5.99 per month) and Monthly Pro ($9.99 per month) is $4.00 per month, BYOK saves money when you run occasional papers or stick to lower-cost tiers like GPT-5.4 Nano, Claude Haiku 4.5, or Grok Build [1] [3]. If you generate and humanize dozens of long drafts or practice exams each month on balanced or best-tier models, Pro caps your monthly bill at $9.99 with 2 million tokens each month included [1] [3].
Why ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and X Premium do not replace an API key
A frequent billing mistake is assuming that a $20 consumer chat plan includes developer API access. OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI bill developer API keys separately from their consumer chat interfaces [2].
- OpenAI keys start with 'sk-' and are created at platform.openai.com/api-keys, which is billed separately from ChatGPT Plus [2] [6].
- Claude keys start with 'sk-ant-' and are created in the Anthropic Console, which is billed separately from a Claude.ai Pro chat plan [2] [7].
- xAI keys start with 'xai-' and are created in the xAI Console, which is billed separately from X Premium [2] [8].
- You only need one key from one provider to use the $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year plan, and you can follow the step-by-step setup on the How to get your API key page [1] [2].
