Plans and practical limits
The official developer-plan page distinguishes Free, Basic, Pro, Team and organizational plans. Public Papers/Tallies endpoints need no API key, which does not make the full AI assistant free. Basic currently includes 250 monthly MCP credits; Pro includes 2,500 and self-service REST API key access. Organizational plans use separate quotes.
