Typical prompt = 500 input + 500 output tokens, priced on the API model the plan says it includes (or the provider’s top model when it does not say). If you would send more prompts than this every day, the subscription is the better deal — within its usage limits. Fewer, and paying per API call is cheaper. Subscriptions also include apps, tools and features the raw API does not.
