Model tokens, API quotas, billing, and provider rate limits are controlled by your own agent configuration and model provider and are not included with PocketClaw Pro. Monthly, annual, and lifetime options may be available. Current localized prices and eligibility are shown on the App Store purchase screen. Payment is charged to your Apple ID after confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
