Pricing
0) TL;DR
- Models bill in tokens (≈ 4 characters each).
- You pay for input tokens (what you send) and output tokens (what GitMe returns).
- Retention is included with no extra tokens.
- Feature depth affects token use: Advance ≈ +90% more tokens than Essential, Ultimate ≈ +5% more than Advance (extra analyses like AI Effort Share & AI Insights).
1) What Exactly Is a Token?
- Tokens are how language models “count” text. Think of 1 token ≈ 4 characters (spaces/punctuation included).
- Example: “Refactor authentication flow” → ~30 characters → ~8 tokens (roughly).
Metering in GitMe
- Input tokens: commit message + diff + light metadata we send to the model.
- Output tokens: effort score, categories, explanations/insights the model returns.
- Your bill = (input tokens × input rate) + (output tokens × output rate) for your plan.
2) Plans & What’s Included
| Plan | Input Rate | Output Rate | What You Get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gitme-DevAI-S Essential | $9.99 / 1M tokens | $19.99 / 1M tokens | Effort Score, Categorization |
| Gitme-DevAI-L Advance | $19.99 / 1M tokens | $29.99 / 1M tokens | Essential + AI Effort Share (≈ +90% tokens vs Essential) |
| Gitme-DevAI-XL Ultimate | $29.99 / 1M tokens | $39.99 / 1M tokens | Advance + AI Insights, Retention (≈ +5% tokens vs Advance; Retention itself is free) |
Why more tokens on higher plans? Deeper analysis = extra model calls. Advance adds AI Effort Share (≈ +90% tokens vs Essential). Ultimate layers on AI Insights (≈ +5% tokens vs Advance). Retention data is processed but does not consume extra tokens.
3) One-Developer Monthly Estimates (3 Activity Levels)
Assumption per commit: ~1,000 input + 700 output tokens (typical diff + reasoning). Activity levels (per month):
- Low: ~5 commits
- Medium: ~20 commits
- High: ~50 commits
We apply plan multipliers to tokens: Essential ×1.00, Advance ×≈1.90, Ultimate ×≈2.00 (Advance ×≈1.05).
A) Estimated Cost per Developer / Month (commit based)
(rounded to nearest cent; exact math below)
| Activity | Essential | Advance (+90% tokens) | Ultimate (Advance +5% tokens) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low (~5 commits) | $0.12 | $0.39 | $0.58 |
| Medium (~20 commits) | $0.48 | $1.56 | $2.31 |
| High (~50 commits) | $1.20 | $3.89 | $5.78 |
B) Estimated Cost per Developer / Month (token based)
Low Activity
- Essential: 5.0k input × $9.99/M + 3.5k output × $19.99/M = $0.1199
- Advance: 9.5k input × $19.99/M + 6.65k output × $29.99/M = $0.3893
- Ultimate: 10.0k input × $29.99/M + 7.0k output × $39.99/M = $0.5784
Medium Activity
- Essential: 20k input × $9.99/M + 14k output × $19.99/M = $0.4797
- Advance: 38.0k input × $19.99/M + 26.6k output × $29.99/M = $1.5574
- Ultimate: 39.9k input × $29.99/M + 27.9k output × $39.99/M = $2.3135
High Activity
- Essential: 50k input × $9.99/M + 35k output × $19.99/M = $1.1992
- Advance: 95k input × $19.99/M + 66.5k output × $29.99/M = $3.8934
- Ultimate: 99.8k input × $29.99/M + 69.8k output × $39.99/M = $5.7838
4) How to Estimate Your Own Bill (Quick Recipe)
- Pick an activity level (or your real commit count).
- Approx tokens per commit (defaults work well: ~1,000 input + 700 output).
- Multiply by commits/month → base monthly tokens.
- Apply plan multiplier: ×1.00 (Essential) / ×1.90 (Advance) / ×2.00 (Ultimate = Advance ×1.05).
- Cost = (input tokens × input rate) + (output tokens × output rate) for your plan.
Want even safer headroom? Add +10–20% to tokens for months with unusually large diffs.
5) FAQs
Does Retention cost tokens? No. Retention is included without extra token usage on Ultimate.
Why might my month vary? Bigger diffs, more frequent commits or unusually long explanations increase tokens.
Is “1 token ≈ 4 characters” exact? No—it's a helpful rule of thumb. Actual tokenization can vary with language and symbols.
6) Compliance & Privacy (One-liner)
GitMe processes only what’s needed to compute effort, categorization, and insights; Retention is included token-free. See our Security & Privacy page for details.
