Muse Code pricing: a monthly plan, or pay per token.
Meta sells Muse Code two ways: monthly plans from $5, or pay-per-token billing through its Model API. Switch models mid-session with /model.

Pay per token
No plan required: bill Muse Code through the Meta Model API instead. Two tiers of the same model — the difference is what happens to your data.
Estimate your pay-per-token cost
A heavy day of agentic coding uses roughly 20–60M input and 2–6M output tokens.
Plans meter requests instead: Everyday Usage covers roughly 10–50 requests every 5 hours. If your Standard estimate lands well above $15 a month, compare it with a plan.
Billing questions
Which plan should I pick?
Everyday Usage ($5) fits a few sessions a day — roughly 10–50 requests every 5 hours. High Usage ($15) triples that and adds access to the latest models; Power Usage ($50) gives 10× the Everyday allowance plus early access to new features. If you drive Muse Code from CI or scripts, or keep hitting plan limits, an API key with pay-per-token billing is metered by tokens instead of requests.
Subscription or pay-per-token: which is cheaper?
It depends on volume. A plan is a flat monthly fee with a request allowance; pay-per-token bills every token at Model API rates. Light use on the Contributor tier can cost cents a day, while a heavy month on Standard can reach hundreds of dollars — that’s where a flat plan pays off. Plug your numbers into the estimator above.
Is Muse Code free?
No. The CLI is free to install, but using it takes a monthly plan (from $5) or pay-per-token billing, and Meta hasn’t announced a free tier. The cheapest route is the Contributor tier — $0.10 per 1M input tokens — in exchange for letting Meta use your sessions. Muse Glimmer, Meta’s open-weight model, is free to run locally, but it is a separate model, not Muse Code.
What does the Contributor tier share?
Data from muse-spark-1.3-contributor may be used to improve Meta’s products. The standard muse-spark-1.3 model is never used to improve Meta’s products.
Is there a Contributor tier for Muse Spark 1.3?
Yes. muse-spark-1.3-contributor keeps the 1.2 Contributor rates — $0.10 per 1M input tokens, $0.002 cached, $0.20 output — and is also listed on OpenRouter.
Can I switch mid-session?
Yes. The /model command switches to muse-spark-1.3 at standard Model API pricing; usage bills at whichever model served the tokens.
Do cached or repeated context tokens count?
Repository context is cached across a session. Cached input tokens bill at a reduced rate — $0.002 / 1M on Contributor, $0.15 / 1M on Standard — instead of the full input price.
Can I get zero data retention?
Meta is beginning to accept requests for zero data retention. Contact Meta sales to request it for your organization.
Is a Meta Muse subscription the same as a Muse Code plan?
No. Meta Muse, launched September 8, 2026, is a consumer personal agent with its own plans: free, Power at $20 a month, and Maximum at $100. Muse Code plans — Everyday $5, High $15, Power $50 — are for the coding agent. Same model family, different products, priced separately.
