How Much Does SynaBot Cost, and What Do Tokens Actually Buy?

Mark BarclayMark Barclay·Founder & Curator, SynaBot·

Plain explanation of SynaBot's token system: what costs tokens, what is always free, and how the monthly refill and rollover caps work.

SynaBot charges tokens only for generation. Chatting with an assistant, generating a prompt or running a mini tool spends tokens; browsing assistants, prompts, tools and articles never does. Free members get 2,500 welcome tokens plus 500 each month. Pro members get 10,000 monthly for $19.

Key takeaways

  • Reading anything on SynaBot is free and always will be.
  • Every token-spending button shows its estimated cost before you click it.
  • Free: 2,500 welcome tokens, 500 monthly, 2,500 rollover cap.
  • Pro: 10,000 monthly, 50,000 rollover cap; annual doubles that to 100,000.
  • Unused tokens roll over up to the cap rather than expiring immediately.

Why use tokens instead of unlimited usage?

Because generation has a real cost and unlimited plans hide it in higher prices for everyone. Tokens let a light user pay nothing and a heavy user pay for what they use. Every button that spends tokens shows an estimated range first, so nothing is charged by surprise.

How do I make tokens last longer?

  • Start from a tested prompt in the prompt library instead of iterating from scratch.
  • Pick the right specialist assistant — fewer corrective rounds.
  • Give the full context in the first message rather than across five.
  • Use the free tools directory when a dedicated tool does the job better.
