Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI billing work?
Each time you click an AI‑powered button, it uses a small amount of AI processing. Your usage is metered per request and billed monthly alongside the $4.99 platform fee. Non‑AI buttons (local controls like YouTube playback controls) are completely free.
What AI models power btns.ai?
AI buttons use either Google Gemini 2.5 Flash or Gemini 3 Flash for fast, affordable results. The Compare Documents button uses Gemini 2.5 Pro for higher‑accuracy analysis. The best model for each task is chosen while keeping costs low.
Is there a free trial?
Not at the moment. Since Google charges us for using their AI, we need to gain enough traction before we develop a watered down free version, while the basic version becomes more powerful.
Can I set a spending limit?
Yes! In the Usage Dashboard you can set a monthly spending cap and even enable a hard stop that blocks AI calls when the limit is reached.
Are the above AI costs exact?
The costs shown are estimates based the expected number of words (tokens) being processed multiplied by Google Gemini API rates.
