- An ordinary answer spends one message credit. A flagship answer costs about 20 times more to produce, so it spends 20. One allowance covers both instead of pretending they cost the same.
- A large message is roughly 100,000 tokens of context, and one research session is roughly 500,000.
- The three message windows roll continuously — nothing resets at midnight, the oldest message simply ages out. The token budget resets at the start of each calendar month.

Questions about price, answered
BlueAI is one of the cheapest AI chats in 2026: a Free plan at $0 with 600 messages a month, and Pro from $5/month — about 4x cheaper than ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Gemini Advanced or Perplexity Pro, which start around $20/month.
Yes. The Free plan includes 600 messages a month, encrypted history, and strong everyday models like GPT-5.5, Claude Sonnet 5 and Gemini 3.5 Flash. No email is required to create an account.
Pro includes 10,500 messages a month, 36 research sessions, flagship models such as GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Grok 4.5, file and image workflows, priority routing, and a 120-turn conversation memory.
Start with Free. BlueAI is built for beginners: a getting-started guide, plain-language answers, and no prompt craft to learn first. Upgrade to Pro only when your weekly limits start to feel small.
No. One BlueAI account gives you 18+ models from the major AI labs in a single chat, with automatic routing that picks the best model for each question.
Upgrades are charged only for the days left in the current period. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the period you already paid for.
