> Note: v0's two official pages disagree on rollover. The pricing FAQ says unused monthly credits roll over for one month on paid plans. The docs say they roll over and expire after 65 days. Plan around the shorter one.

## What uses credits

- Every message uses tokens, and tokens are priced per model. Per 1M tokens: v0 Mini $0.20 input and $1.20 output; v0 Pro $2 and $10; v0 Max $5 and $25; v0 Max Fast $10 and $50. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
- Cache writes and cache reads are priced separately (for v0 Pro, $2.50 and $0.20 per 1M tokens). ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
- Longer prompts and longer answers use more tokens, so they cost more. ([source](https://v0.app/docs/pricing))
- Included plan credits are used first, then any credits you bought. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))

## Where to see your usage

- The Usage page in your v0 dashboard shows credit use grouped by project or chat. On eligible team plans, owners and Billing members can see team-wide use by member or project. ([source](https://v0.app/docs/pricing))
- The Billing page shows your plan, credit balances and their expiry dates, and invoices. ([source](https://v0.app/docs/pricing))
- Hover a model in the model picker to see its cost. ([source](https://v0.app/docs/pricing))

## How to cap spend

- Credits are prepaid. When they run out, generation pauses until you add more. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
- Paid plans can buy more credits at any time. Free users must upgrade instead. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
- We found no separate monthly spend-limit setting on v0's pricing page or docs. ([source](https://v0.app/docs/pricing))

## What the plan price does not cover

- v0 is not part of Vercel plans; it is billed on its own. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
- Prices exclude taxes. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
- Purchased credits expire one year after purchase and need an active paid plan to use. ([source](https://v0.app/docs/pricing))
- No refunds, and no PayPal. ([source](https://v0.app/pricing))
