Credits & Plans
Simple pricing: two subscriptions with managed AI credits, or a one-time Lifetime license.
What It Is
FilesDesk offers managed plans (we run the AI, you use credits) and a Lifetime license (you bring your own AI). One credit = one file name suggestion.
How It Helps You
- Predictable cost — flat monthly price, credits visible in the app header at all times.
- No waste — failed files aren’t charged; reserved credits are refunded automatically.
- Zero setup — activating a subscription auto-selects FilesDesk AI as your provider.
Plans
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $8/mo | 500 managed AI credits per month |
| Pro | $20/mo | 2,000 managed AI credits per month |
| Lifetime | $40 one-time | BYOK plus local AI, no credit limits, 3-day money-back guarantee |
Credits reset monthly and don’t roll over. Cancel anytime and keep access through the billing cycle. The Lifetime license is per-device; support can transfer it if you change computers.
Not seeing credits used? Check that Settings shows FilesDesk AI as your provider — recent versions select it automatically on activation. See Troubleshooting.
