Electron Hub offers two flexible billing models to suit different usage patterns and needs:

## Billing Models

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Subscriptions" icon="repeat" color="#8B5CF6">
    **Weekly credits** that refill every **Sunday at 21:00 UTC**

    **Ideal for:**

    * Regular, consistent usage
    * Predictable monthly costs
    * Access to premium/ultimate models
    * Higher rate limits and more features

    <Info>
      <strong>Annual Savings:</strong> Annual subscriptions save you <strong>20%</strong> compared to monthly billing!
    </Info>
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pay-as-You-Go" icon="wallet" color="#10B981">
    **Permanent credits** that never expire

    **Ideal for:**

    * Irregular or unpredictable usage
    * One-time projects
    * Testing and experimentation
    * Supplementing subscription credits

    <Info>

    </Info>
  </Card>
</Columns>

<Info>
  Building with coding agents or CLI tools? There's a third option: the **[Coding Plan (DevPass)](/billing/coding-plan)** — **unlimited token usage** for $5 or $20/month, a dedicated `ek-dev-` key, and a curated set of `:dev` coding models. It never consumes credits and stacks with any other plan.
</Info>

## Which Model Should I Choose?
