| How you use PLAI.chat | Daily limit (default) | Models |
|---|---|---|
| No account (anonymous) | 20 messages per browser per day; 200 per IP address; hourly cap per IP | Free models |
| Signed in, balance under $0.05 | 100 messages per day on free models | Free models; paid models need credit |
| Signed in, balance $0.05 or more (incl. the $1 welcome credit) | No PLAI.chat daily cap on free models | Free models + pay-per-use paid models |
Daily counters reset at 00:00 UTC. “No daily cap” means PLAI.chat does not count your messages — it does not mean unlimited capacity. Free models run on capacity shared by all PLAI.chat users and are often exhausted later in the day; when that happens you are asked whether to answer that message with a low-cost paid model from your credit, and nothing is charged unless you agree. Paid models are always billed per use.
Running a language model costs money for every message. A service that offered truly unlimited, account-free chat would be flooded by bots and scripts within hours, so every free AI chat applies some limit — per IP, per device, per account, or by quietly switching you to a weaker model. Sites advertising “unlimited” with no sign-up usually mean “until you hit a limit we don't mention.”
PLAI.chat publishes its limits instead: start with no account, and when you need more, a free email sign-in removes the daily cap on free models. You never need a subscription — paid models are pay-per-use only if you choose them.

Not truly — every free AI chat limits anonymous use to prevent abuse. PLAI.chat lets you start with no sign-up (by default 20 messages per day per browser). After a free email sign-in with the $1 welcome credit, PLAI.chat applies no daily message cap on free models.
Sign in with your email. New accounts receive a $1 welcome credit, and while your balance is at least $0.05, free models have no PLAI.chat daily cap. Free models cost nothing, so they do not use up the credit. Free capacity is shared by all users, so at busy times you may be asked whether to use a low-cost paid model for that answer; nothing is charged unless you agree.
By default, 20 messages per day per browser, 200 per day per IP address, and an hourly cap per IP. Limits reset at 00:00 UTC.
No. Signing in needs only an email address, and the welcome credit is added automatically. A card is only needed if you top up to use paid premium models.
No. Premium models are pay-per-use and billed from your PLAI.chat balance per message. Cheaper models can be used with the welcome credit; the most expensive models require a first top-up.
No. PLAI.chat has no monthly subscription. Free models are free, and paid models are billed per use from credit you add.
No sign-up to start. A free email sign-in lifts the daily limit on free models.
