Prepaid credits, spent only when the table works. Every model is included and the balance is the cap, so a bill can never surprise you.
Free in beta
Add your Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or xAI key and the members' answers are billed to it by the provider, at the provider's price.
A message to the table is one question answered by every member, their replies to each other, and sometimes a Chair summary. On the table a new room starts with, a message costs about $0.12. Across all rooms, half of all messages cost between $0.05 and $0.22; about one in ten, usually a long document or a big table, costs more than $0.40.

|---|---|

Measured on real rooms in October 2026, at today's rates. Your cost depends on the models at your table and how long the answers are.

Bordet has no subscription. You can try it free, a free account comes with $1.50 of credit, and after that you buy prepaid credits in packs of $5, $20 or $50, or use your own API keys. A message to the table a new room starts with costs about $0.12; across all rooms, half of all messages cost between $0.05 and $0.22.
Trying it is. You can ask the table up to 5 questions without an account, and a free account adds $1.50 of credit, roughly 12 messages to the starting table. Using your own API keys is free while Bordet is in beta.
Every message is answered by several AI models from different labs, and each of those answers has a cost. Credits cover it. With your own keys, the providers bill you directly instead.
Per message, by what it uses. One message to the whole table usually sets off several turns: each member's answer, their replies to each other, sometimes a Chair summary, and a small memory update. You see the cost in your usage as it happens.
The room pauses and offers a one-tap top-up. Nothing is charged automatically, and there is never a bill after the fact: your balance is the limit.
Yes. Add keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or xAI in your profile. A room whose members are all covered by your keys bills them to your keys, at the provider's price. Web search and image generation in that room still use credits.
Credits stay on your account for as long as you keep it. In the UK and EU you can cancel a purchase within 14 days for a refund of the credits you have not used; see the Terms for the details.
