Questions, answered.

Only the parts needed for the request you make, and only to the model provider you chose. With local models through Ollama nothing leaves your machine. Your API keys never leave your computer: they are kept in your system keychain and never exported.

Yes. Quill is built on the same engine and imports your extensions on first launch. Extensions from the Open VSX registry install directly from the editor.

No. Quill comes with a free 7-day trial, then plans start at $10 a month (Starter), or $20 for Pro with every agent feature. After the trial, local models keep working.

Each paid plan includes a monthly amount of AI usage on the models we host. Each reply uses part of it once it finishes, depending on the model and how long the question and answer are: bigger models use more, and the model menu shows how capable each one is with 1 to 5 dots. Each reply shows the share of your plan it used, and the editor shows how much you have used as a percentage, with a bar that turns amber at 75% and red at 90%.

Auto picks the model for you: a fast, low-cost model, with a second one from another provider ready when the first is busy. It is the default in the model menu and counts toward your plan's usage like any model.

Quill models, Auto included, pause until your plan renews or you top up. Your own API keys and your Claude Code plan keep working, because they never count toward it.

Yes, on every paid plan and during the trial, at no extra cost; after the trial, local models keep working. Those requests go straight from your computer to the provider and never count toward your plan's usage. Your keys never leave your computer.

It depends on the model and how long the question and answer are. Each reply shows the share of your plan it used (for example ~0.4%), and before a big job the chat box shows an estimate, so you can pick a smaller model for simple jobs.

Yes. A company buys one subscription with seats from 2, $2 less a seat than the same plan alone, and invites its people by email; see Team on the pricing page. Max 10× and Max 20× are coming soon. Until then, Ultra gives you more than four times Pro's AI usage, Max more than twice, and you can top up any time.

On Pro and Max, what you do not use this month carries over to the next month; on Ultra it stays for 2 months. This month's usage is used first, then what carried over. Starter usage is for the month it is given.

Yes, any time from your account page. Moving up starts at once: you pay the difference for the rest of the month, keep what you had not used of your old plan, and get the new plan's AI usage for the days left. Moving down takes effect when your current billing period ends, so you keep what you paid for until then, and unused AI usage carries over as your plan allows.

Yes. Paying yearly costs 11 months, so one month is free: Pro is $220 a year and Max is $440 a year.

Yes. Sign up with your university or college email and every plan costs 10% less, monthly or yearly: the lower price shows at checkout. Top-ups are full price. If your school's email is not recognised, email [email protected] and we will add it.

No. Payments for plans, renewals and top-ups are not refundable, so try Quill with the free 7-day trial first. When you cancel, you keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for. See the terms.

Yes, from your account page. You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for, then local models keep working.
