# Individual Plans

Compare Factory Pro, Plus, and Max plans for individual developers.

Individual plans are for developers who own their own Factory subscription. Pro, Plus, and Max include the Factory App, Droid CLI, and Droid SDK, with usage governed by rolling Rate Limits.

## How individual usage works

{/* sweep-allow: term-bullets */}

- **Rate Limits:** three rolling windows, 5-hour, 7-day, and 30-day. Each runs independently.
- **Standard Usage:** consumed first on Individual plans.
- **Droid Core:** free open-weight model pool with separate Rate Limits after Standard Usage runs out.
- **Extra Usage:** prepaid credits, $10 minimum, no expiration. The toggle stays on until you turn it off or run out.
- **Monitor usage:** open **Settings > Usage** or run `/limits` in Droid.

## Missions and BYOK

- **Missions** use the same rolling Rate Limits as regular sessions and require Extra Usage to be enabled. If a Mission hits a Rate Limit, it pauses.
- **BYOK** is free up to an allowance on all Individual plans. After that, usage is charged according to your specific plan.

<Tip>
  Run Missions on Droid Core when possible. Core models often deliver comparable results and stretch your plan further.

## FAQ

<FAQ>
  <FAQItem title="What counts toward each rate limit?">
    Droid sessions consume Factory Standard Credits based on model usage, along with compute usage for Droid Computers.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="Do the three rate limits run independently?">
    Yes. Hitting the 5-hour cap does not eat into weekly or monthly any faster, and vice versa. You need headroom in all three to send a request.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="When does each window reset?">
    All three are rolling: 5-hour, 7-day, and 30-day. Each starts ticking when you first use Droid and resets after the window elapses.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="Does unused standard usage roll over?">
    No. Standard Usage does not roll over month to month. Extra Usage that you purchase does roll over.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="Which models are Droid Core?">
    A set of models Factory has designated as Core, typically smaller, cheaper models that handle most coding tasks well. You can see the current list in **Settings > Models**. The list changes as new models ship.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="Does enabling Droid Core cost extra?">
    No. It uses the same Standard Usage billing, restricted to the Core model pool so you can keep working after premium-model Rate Limits are exhausted.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="How does extra usage pricing work?">
    Extra Usage is prepaid, USD-denominated credit. Buy a dollar amount and it is drawn down as your sessions use models.
  </FAQItem>

  <FAQItem title="What happens mid-session when I hit a rate limit?">
    The current request finishes, then subsequent requests receive a Rate Limit error in the CLI or Factory App. Run `/limits` to toggle Droid Core or Extra Usage and retry immediately.
