CodeCobra uses a prepaid balance system. You add funds to your account, and usage is deducted as you work. There are no monthly subscriptions or commitment periods — you pay for what you use.

​
Account tiers

​
Free trial

Every new account starts with a free trial that includes a set number of messages. This is enough to:
  • Create a project and explore the interface
  • Start a task and chat with CodeCobra to learn about Odoo features
  • Generate a development plan to see the planning workflow
  • Experience the live Odoo preview
When your trial messages are used up, add a payment method to upgrade to premium and continue building.
You don’t need a credit card to start. Create an account, set up a project, and try the platform before deciding to upgrade.

​
Premium

After adding a payment method, your account upgrades to premium. With a premium account you get:
  • Unlimited tasks — create as many tasks as you need
  • Prepaid balance — add funds that are deducted as you use CodeCobra
  • Auto-reload — never run out of balance unexpectedly
  • Invoice history — track all transactions and download PDFs
  • Usage analytics — detailed breakdowns of activity across projects

​
How usage works

Usage is based on the messages and interactions within your tasks. More complex conversations and larger codebases may use more credits per interaction. Your current balance is always visible in Settings > Billing, so you can keep track of your spending at a glance.

​
Add funds

To add funds to your account:
1

Open billing settings

Go to Settings > Billing.
2

Click Buy Credits

Click the Buy Credits button.
3

Enter an amount

Enter the amount you’d like to add. The default suggestion is $250, but you can choose any amount.
4

Confirm

The funds are charged to your default payment method and added to your balance immediately.

​
Auto-reload

Auto-reload ensures you never run out of balance in the middle of a task. When enabled, your account is automatically topped up when the balance drops below a threshold you set. To configure auto-reload:
  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. Enable Auto-reload
  3. Set a threshold — the balance level that triggers a reload (e.g., $15)
  4. Set a reload amount — how much to add each time (e.g., $250)
For active development, a threshold of $15–$25 and a reload of $100–$250 works well for most users. You can adjust these values at any time.
When your balance drops below the threshold, the reload amount is automatically charged to your default payment method. You’ll see the transaction in your invoice history.

​
Workspace billing

If you own a workspace, manage its billing from Settings → Billing by picking the workspace in the Workspace selector:
  • Workspace balance — the workspace has its own balance, separate from individual accounts
  • Usage by member — see how much each team member is using
  • Usage by project — break down costs per project
  • Transaction history — all top-ups and usage transactions
Only the workspace owner can manage workspace billing. If ownership is transferred, the balance stays with the workspace and the new owner takes over its billing.
Workspace billing is separate from your personal account billing. When you work on a workspace project, usage is charged to the workspace’s balance, not your personal one.
