You sign in to each tool with your own account or API key, obtained and paid for directly from that provider. Continuum shows you what you are already running. ACCOUNTS Continuum is free to download and free to use with your own provider accounts. An optional Continuum account keeps your workspace in sync across your devices. CONTINUUM PLUS SUBSCRIPTION Continuum Plus is an optional auto-renewable subscription that includes $25 of hosted AI usage every week, on every device.
