How Ollama Cloud billing works
Usage is measured in tokens at each model's rate — separate prices per million input, cached-input and output tokens, listed in the table below. Each request is priced at those rates and drawn from your plan's included credits first, then from any extra credits you have added.
- Included credits reset monthly on the same day of the month your subscription started, including on annual plans. Free resets monthly from the date you signed up.
- No rollover. Unused included usage is replaced at each reset, not carried forward.
- Extra usage on every plan. Free, Pro, Max and Team can all add credits; on Free that also unlocks every model. Team usage draws from one balance shared by the organization.
- Alert at 90%. Paid plans get an email at 90% of the included monthly usage; it can be turned off in settings.
Ollama Cloud model pricing
Prices are in USD per million tokens, as published. The last column is a computed output-only ceiling — how many output tokens $60 of Pro credits would buy if every token were output at that model's rate. Real requests also spend input and cached-input tokens, so treat it as an upper bound for comparing models, not a quota.
| Model | Input | Cached input | Output | ≈ Output tokens per $60 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| deepseek-v4-flash | $0.22 | $0.007 | $0.66 | 91M |
| deepseek-v4-pro | $0.66 | $0.022 | $1.98 | 30M |
| gemma4 | $0.14 | $0.05 | $0.4 | 150M |

— in the Cached input column means Ollama publishes no cached-input tier for that model. It is not zero.
What is Ollama's peak pricing?
A few models bill at a second, higher rate inside a published window. Peak pricing applies between 12:00 and 18:00 UTC, Monday to Friday. Models absent from this table bill at the standard rate around the clock.
| Model | Peak input | Peak cached input | Peak output |
|---|---|---|---|
| deepseek-v4-flash | $0.44 | $0.014 | $1.32 |
| deepseek-v4-pro | $1.32 | $0.044 | $3.96 |
Concurrency limits
The number of cloud requests you can have in flight simultaneously is plan-gated:
| Plan | Concurrent requests |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Pro | 3 |
| Max | 10 |
| Team | 10 |
Requests beyond the concurrency limit are queued. When the queue fills, new requests are rejected until a slot opens.
Still on an older Pro or Max plan?
Pro and Max subscriptions started before the credits-based plans keep their original terms — a usage allowance with a session limit that resets every 5 hours and a weekly limit that resets every 7 days — until the subscriber switches. Switching grants the new plan's full monthly credits immediately and removes the session and weekly windows; the reset date stays on the original subscription date.
How these prices affect benchmark results
The benchmarks on this site run on a Pro subscription — a legacy one, taken out before the credits-based plans, which is why cadence on the Pro rows is not budget-constrained. Speed numbers reflect Pro-tier infrastructure. Free-plan users may see different throughput under load.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Ollama Cloud cost?
Ollama Cloud is $0 on the Free tier with starter usage credits for a small set of starter models. Pro is $20/mo or $200/yr and includes $60 of usage credits per month; Max is $100/mo with $300 of credits; Team is $500/mo with $1,000 of shared credits and unlimited users; Enterprise is custom pricing. Every plan, including Free, can add extra usage credits.
Does Ollama Cloud charge per token?
Yes. Usage is measured in tokens at each model's published rate per million input, cached-input and output tokens, and drawn from the credits included in your plan — so a heavier model spends credits faster than a light one for the same token count. For example, deepseek-v4-flash is $0.22 per million input tokens and $0.66 per million output tokens. Running Ollama locally on your own hardware remains free and unlimited.
What is the difference between Ollama Cloud Free, Pro and Max?
Credits and concurrency. Free runs 1 request at a time on starter models only; adding credits unlocks every model. Pro runs 3 concurrent requests with $60 of monthly credits and access to the larger pro models. Max runs 10 concurrent requests with $300 of monthly credits and early access to the newest models.
Do unused Ollama Cloud credits roll over?
No. Included credits refresh monthly on the same day of the month your subscription started, including on annual plans; whatever is unused is replaced, not carried forward. Ollama emails paid accounts at 90% of the included monthly usage.
What is Ollama's peak pricing?
Peak pricing applies between 12:00 and 18:00 UTC, Monday to Friday. Inside that window the affected models bill at a higher rate: deepseek-v4-flash at $0.44 per million input and $1.32 per million output tokens, deepseek-v4-pro at $1.32 per million input and $3.96 per million output tokens. Every other model bills at its standard rate around the clock.
