Mantle has five plan levels: **Free**, **Core**, **Plus**, **Max**, and **Enterprise**. A paid organization can mix Core, Plus, and Max, so each member gets the level that fits their work. This guide explains the current plan rules in simple terms. Check the live [pricing page](https://mantle.chat/pricing) and checkout screen for the price, tax, and offer that apply when you buy. ## Plan overview | Plan | AI credits | Best fit | Main difference | | - | -: | - | - | | **Free** | 1,500 per person each month | Exploring Mantle with a small team | Selected models, manual tasks, one integration, and 90-day chat history | | **Core** | 10,000 per paid member | Light daily AI use | All supported models, web search, scheduled tasks, and unlimited history | | **Plus** | 25,000 per paid member | Regular daily AI work | More integrations, voice input, knowledge, and AI meeting notes | | **Max** | 100,000 per paid member | Heavy AI use | Highest self-serve allowances and priority support | | **Enterprise** | Custom | Larger or regulated organizations | Custom pools, identity controls, audit support, and invoice billing | Standard monthly prices are currently $12 or €12 for Core, $29 or €29 for Plus, and $119 or €119 for Max, per member. Annual billing is paid up front and has an effective monthly price of $10 or €10 for Core, $25 or €25 for Plus, and $99 or €99 for Max. Mantle shows annual billing as **Save 15%**. Taxes are added at checkout when required. ## What Free includes Free is designed for trying Mantle with a small team. It currently includes: * 1 organization you own, with up to 10 accepted members; * 3 workspaces and 2 shared agents in the organization; * unlimited channels, direct messages, threads, canvases, and manual tasks; * 1,500 hosted-AI credits per person each month; * GPT-5 Nano, GPT-5.6 Luna, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, DeepSeek V4 Flash, GLM-5.3-Flash, and Mistral Small 4; * 1 connected integration per person for manual use; * 10 minutes of voice input per person each month; * 90 days of chat history; * up to 10 indexed knowledge files and 50 MB of knowledge storage for the organization. Free does not include web search, scheduled or event-based tasks, voice meetings, or AI meeting notes. ## What paid levels add **Core** opens all supported models, web search, scheduled tasks, unlimited workspaces, unlimited shared agents, and unlimited chat history. Each Core member currently receives 10,000 credits, 3 integrations, and 60 minutes of voice input each month. **Plus** raises those personal allowances to 25,000 credits, 10 integrations, and 180 minutes of voice input. Plus members also add more capacity to the organization's shared knowledge and AI meeting-note pools. **Max** is for high-volume use. Each Max member currently receives 100,000 credits, 25 integrations, 600 minutes of voice input, a larger shared-knowledge contribution, more AI meeting-note capacity, and priority support. **Enterprise** is arranged with Mantle for needs such as custom pooled AI usage, company sign-in, user provisioning, audit records, invoice or purchase-order billing, and account support. ## How organization plans work Every paid subscription belongs to an organization, even if it has only one person. * A person's Core, Plus, or Max level works only inside the organization that pays for that seat. * Joining a different organization does not carry that paid level or its credits into the other organization. * In a self-serve paid organization, every accepted internal member needs a paid Core, Plus, or Max seat. The Plus trial is the temporary exception: members not selected for the trial can stay on Free until the trial ends. * An owner can assign different paid levels to different members from **Settings → Organization → Billing**. ## How AI credits work Credits pay for AI models and paid tools that Mantle runs for you. Credit use depends on the model and the work involved, including conversation history, attached files, answer length, reasoning, web search, and connected tools. * **Free credits are person-wide.** Your 1,500 Free credits are shared across all organizations where you use Free. * **Paid credits are organization-specific.** A paid member gets a separate monthly balance inside the organization that owns that seat. * **Paid member balances do not pool.** One member cannot spend another member's included credits. * Included paid credits refresh each month, including when the organization pays annually. * Scheduled tasks use the task owner's credits. * If credit packs are available, they are bought for a particular member in a particular organization. Use the model picker's or pricing page's relative credit-use level to compare models. Open **Settings → Organization → Usage & Limits** to see use for the active organization. ### What is included without an extra credit charge? Mantle covers automatic chat titles, folder assignment, and workspace reorganization. Making your knowledge files and selected canvases searchable, and searching that index, also does not deduct AI credits. File storage and knowledge limits still apply. When retrieved passages are sent to a chat model, they count as input for that answer, just like conversation history. Longer answers, more context, and reasoning can therefore use more credits even though indexing is included. Automatic retries after a provider or platform failure do not add a separate customer charge; a successful answer uses credits normally. Choosing **Regenerate** yourself requests a new answer and uses credits again. ### What happens at zero credits? Mantle stops hosted AI and other paid AI tools until more credits become available. Your team can still use messages, channels, direct messages, history, canvases, files, and supported local tools. Mantle does not silently charge an overage or delete your work. ### Buy additional credits An organization owner can buy 10,000 additional credits for \$12 or €12 and assign them to one paid member. A purchase does not repeat automatically. Mantle uses the member's included subscription credits before purchased credits, and it never creates a negative balance or surprise overage. Larger purchases may need support. ### Keep credit use predictable * Use an efficient model for routine extraction or drafting, then a stronger model for an important review. * Ask for the length and format you actually need. * Start a new chat when you change tender, contract, client, or topic. A long chat may send more earlier history with every new request and can therefore use credits faster, even when some input is cached. * Use web search, deep reasoning, large files, and connected tools when they add clear value. ## Shared organization allowances Some resources are shared by the whole organization rather than assigned to one person. Paid seats add capacity to these pools: * raw file storage; * huddle participant-minutes; * video and screen-sharing viewer-minutes; * indexed workspace and agent knowledge; * AI meeting-note minutes. Each paid seat currently adds this much to the organization's monthly pools: | Member level | Raw storage | Huddle time | Video and screen sharing | Indexed knowledge | AI meeting notes | | - | -: | - | - | - | -: | | **Core** | 5 GB | 2,000 participant-minutes | 500 viewer-minutes | 25 files / 250 MB | 0 minutes | | **Plus** | 5 GB | 2,000 participant-minutes | 500 viewer-minutes | 100 files / 1 GB | 30 minutes | | **Max** | 5 GB | 2,000 participant-minutes | 500 viewer-minutes | 500 files / 5 GB | 120 minutes | For example, a ten-minute huddle with five people uses fifty participant-minutes. AI meeting-note minutes are counted separately. AI credits remain personal even when these other allowances are shared. ### Video and screen-sharing allowance Each Core, Plus, or Max member adds **500 viewer-minutes per calendar month** to the organization's shared media pool. Free does not include huddles or media viewer-minutes. A camera and a shared screen count as separate streams. One stream delivered to one other connected participant for one minute uses one viewer-minute. Your own preview and the AI notetaker do not count as viewers. Voice-only calls use none of this allowance. For four people on a 30-minute call: | Media in use | Huddle participant-minutes | Media viewer-minutes | | - | -: | -: | | Voice only | 120 | 0 | | Everyone's camera on | 120 | 360 | | Everyone's camera on, plus one shared screen | 120 | 450 | Usage resets on the first day of each month at 00:00 UTC, including on annual plans. Mantle warns at 80%. At the media limit, cameras and screen sharing stop; voice continues within the remaining huddle-time allowance. Buying AI credits does not increase either call allowance, and there are no automatic media overage charges. Usage is reconciled on room/track changes and once a minute, so updates and stopping may take a short time. See [Usage and limits](/usage) for measurement details and where to check the pool. ## Start a 14-day Plus trial The Plus trial belongs to the organization and can be used once by an eligible organization. It does not start automatically. Go to **Settings → Organization → Members**, invite the people who should test Plus, and wait for them to accept. As the organization owner, go to **Settings → Organization → Billing** and select **Start 14-day Plus trial**. Select **Try Plus** for up to five accepted members. Each selected member receives 10,000 one-time trial credits. Unselected members stay on Free during the trial. Pick Core, Plus, or Max for every accepted member and choose monthly or annual billing. A verified payment method is required. You are not charged until the trial ends. Unless the owner cancels, billing starts with the selected member plans when the 14 days end. Cancel before then if you do not want the organization to convert. Trial credits expire at the end of the trial. Your work remains available, although features above Free limits may become read-only until the organization upgrades. See the full team setup in the [Quickstart](/quickstart).
