Median runs on a credit-based model. Every dollar you pay becomes a dollar of credits — and you spend them as you use the product. AI usage is charged at cost, and integration events draw a flat per-event price.Documentation Index

Free tier caveats
The Free plan is meant for evaluating Median end-to-end without a card. It has a few hard limits that paid plans don’t:- Standard AI model only — feedback extraction and task generation run on the lower-cost model. The advanced model is reserved for paid plans.
- Hard-capped at $0.50 of credits per month — usage stops cleanly when credits run out; nothing is billed beyond that.
- No paid overages — the “Hard cap usage at plan credits” toggle is permanently on. To exceed $0.50 in a month, upgrade to a paid plan.
How credits are spent
Credits are a single shared pool. Both AI and integration events draw from it.| Activity | Cost |
|---|---|
| Integration event ingested (Discord, Slack, GitHub, Linear, X) | $0.007 |
| AI task generation, summaries, replies | At model cost |
AI pricing
AI is billed at the underlying model rate — no markup. Median routes most work to a fast, low-cost model and reserves a larger, more capable model for heavier reasoning tasks. Most everyday actions cost a fraction of a cent.Overages
On paid plans, usage beyond your monthly credits is auto-charged at the end of the billing cycle at the same per-event and per-token rates. There is no overage premium — $1 of usage costs $1 whether it is inside or outside your included credits. The Free plan does not support paid overages. Once your $0.50 of credits is spent, ingest and AI generation pause until the next cycle or an upgrade.Hard-cap mode
You can hard-cap usage at your plan’s credits. With this enabled:- AI generation pauses once credits are exhausted
- Integrations stop ingesting new events
- The task board stays available — Linear, GitHub, and Discord syncs resume on the next cycle or after an upgrade
