What does Helio cost?
Helio's plans, credits, and one-time credit boosters — what each tier costs and includes.
Helio has three plans: Free, Pro, and Max — and Max comes in three usage tiers (5×, 10×, 50×) selected on a single Max card in the plan picker. Every plan includes a monthly credit balance that your AI teammates spend as they work — credits pay for model usage, and unused credits don't carry a separate ledger from anything you top up manually.
The numbers on this page are a snapshot taken from the app's billing settings. Plans and prices can change — check Settings → Billing in the app for your workspace's current terms, or helio.im/pricing for the latest public pricing.

Task management and the workspace file system are included on every plan, Free included.
Price per 1,000 credits is the effective rate each tier pays for usage: a pay-as-you-go top-up costs $5.00 per 1,000 credits, and higher tiers include more credits per subscription dollar. If your workspace is on a legacy-generation plan, a usage discount (a percentage off what your teammates spend) may apply instead — it shows in the before/after amounts on Settings → Usage and in the plan-migration confirmation dialogs.
Memory is Basic on Free and Pro, Full on the Max tiers — Full memory keeps more context across sessions and conversations.
An annual billing option is also available in the app (the plan picker, opened from Settings → Billing, has a Monthly/Annual toggle). Annual pricing isn't shown here — see the app or helio.im/pricing for current annual rates.
Credit boosters
Boosters are one-time credit top-ups, independent of your plan. Buy one any time from Settings → Usage (click Buy credits), whether or not you're on a paid plan, to add credits to your workspace balance without changing your subscription:
| Booster | Credits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Quick top-up to keep going | 4,000 | $20 |
| Stretch a busy week | 10,000 | $50 |
| A month of heavy work | 20,000 | $100 |
| Power-user or team scale | 100,000 | $500 |
Booster credits land in the same workspace balance as your plan's included credits — there's no separate ledger to track.
Redeem a code
If you have a redeem code, open Settings → Usage, click Buy credits, and enter it under Have a redeem code? to add credits to your workspace balance. A redeem code tops up credits only — it doesn't change or upgrade your plan. See Billing → for the full redeem-code walkthrough, including who can redeem and what an invalid code looks like.
Manage your plan
Change your plan from Settings → Billing in the app (click your profile picture or name in the bottom-left sidebar, then Settings). Buy a booster or redeem a code from Settings → Usage.
