Pricing questions
Pricing, plans & credits
How CleverGraph pricing works — plans, credits, and how costs are calculated.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan gives you monthly credits that refresh automatically, with no credit card required, so you can start researching immediately.
How is the price of each query calculated?
Credit costs are calculated dynamically from the real AI usage of each query, with a minimum floor per query to protect quality. You only pay for what a query actually uses — no opaque flat markups.
What do the paid Pro and Business plans add?
Paid tiers add more monthly credits and advanced capabilities such as CG Analyst (Company & Country reports), higher throughput, and (on Business) BYOK with a large credit discount and priority processing. See the plans above for the current, up-to-date prices.
What are CG Flash, CG Ultra and CG Intellect?
They are the three research engines you can pick per query: Flash for fast everyday research, Ultra for deeper accuracy, and Intellect for premium multi-model cross-validation. You choose the right engine per question so you never pay for overkill.
What is BYOK and how much does it save?
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) lets Business users connect their own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google API key to run research at a large credit discount, ideal for high-volume teams.
Can I buy extra credits or cancel anytime?
Yes. You can top up credits at any time from your wallet, and subscriptions can be changed or cancelled whenever you like.
Research AI Tiers
Three Engines. One Choice Per Query.
Pick the right engine for the job — and never pay for overkill. Flash & Ultra on every plan. Intellect unlocks with Pro or a funded wallet.
CG Flash
Instant briefs from trained knowledge
Best for
- Quick fact checks & definitions
- Common knowledge questions
- Historical figures, well-known metrics
- Brainstorming & drafts
Skip if
- ×Anything requiring 2025/2026 fresh data
- ×Boardroom decisions
- ×Niche / obscure topics
CG Ultra
Live-web research with verified citations
Best for
- Current market data (2025/2026)
- Investor / boardroom reports
- Multi-source competitive analysis
- When citations & sources matter
Skip if
- ×Single-fact lookups (Flash is fine)
- ×Quick exploratory brainstorming
CG Intellect
3 frontier AIs race to consensus
Best for
- High-stakes decisions (M&A, funding, hiring)
- Conflicting / contested data points
- When you need an unbiased verdict
- Cross-checking 3 AIs for accuracy
Skip if
- ×Anything Flash or Ultra already handles
- ×Casual exploration (overkill)
- ×Accounts without Pro or a funded wallet
How to never overspend
- Start with Flash. If the answer is “common knowledge” (definitions, well-known companies, historical data) Flash nails it for ~$0.05.
- Reach for Ultra only when you need 2025/2026 data, citations, or board-ready depth. Don’t use Ultra to ask “what is GDP?” — that’s a Flash question.
- Save Intellect for the stakes-high call — M&A, funding, hiring, conflicting data. Three AIs cross-checking = the strongest answer the platform can produce. Overkill for daily work.
- Cached results cost a flat ~$0.02. If you (or another user) already asked the same question recently, you only pay the discounted cache rate — no matter the tier.
Cost Breakdown

Estimates — actual charge uses real AI usage, refreshed daily
Swipe sideways to compare all engines.
* Costs are dynamically calculated from real AI usage and refreshed daily. Floor values (Flash ≥ ~$0.05 · Ultra ≥ ~$0.20 · Intellect ≥ ~$0.75) are the minimum charged.
Billing
How Wallet Billing Works
You are charged the exact vendor cost × transparent stack, computed after each query completes. Every charge is itemized in your wallet ledger with micro-cent precision.
