Overview
Why the pricing model is intentionally simple.
TokenBar is meant to behave like a small Mac utility, not another finance product. The job is straightforward: keep token usage and cost visible while OpenAI, Claude, supported Cursor workflows, and other AI workflows are still active.
That is why the pricing stays straightforward too. The goal is to keep the buying decision short and readable.

Built for developers
Basic stays lean. Pro adds on top.
Basic keeps the core TokenBar workflow. Pro adds the cleaner premium tier, richer dashboard tooling, and deeper insights without removing anything from Basic.
Low-friction
Clear pricing just to watch AI spend.
TokenBar is easier to justify because the plan choice stays simple while the app stays focused.
What the price includes
The license is still for the macOS menu bar app itself. You install it, keep it running locally, and use it to monitor live token and cost movement during the sessions that matter.
Basic keeps the core TokenBar access and single-device license. Pro adds premium dashboard tools, provider mix visibility, and the richer premium tier as a $10 lifetime purchase with no subscriptions or recurring charges.
The value is immediate visibility while work is still in progress, not access to a hosted analytics portal you need to keep checking later.
Who this pricing is for
It fits best for developers, founders, and AI power users whose workflows cross OpenAI, Claude, supported Cursor workflows, Gemini, Copilot, and similar tools often enough that hidden usage changes their decisions.
If you only send a few prompts now and then, the app may matter less. If you run prompt-heavy workflows daily, the simple pricing is easier to justify.
Why simple pricing works here
Monitoring AI usage should reduce friction, not add a second decoding step. Clear pricing keeps TokenBar aligned with the way people actually buy small utilities for their Mac.
That pricing model also makes the site easier to explain in search results, on launch pages, and in founder posts because there is no complex plan matrix to decode.
