What does a month cost for a team of 5?
Take 5 people who each ask for 2 quick jobs a workday, such as "summarize this thread into a Notion page" or "update the deal in HubSpot". That is about 210 jobs in a month of 21 workdays.
210 tasks fit in the Starter plan, $49 a month for 250 tasks. The price is the same every month.
Its pricing page puts a quick task at 100 to 300 credits. 210 jobs use 21,000 to 63,000 credits. That is the $75 plan (30,000 credits) to the $200 plan (80,000 credits), and it changes with the work.
This example is about quick jobs. A larger Glad run with /deep counts as 5 tasks, and Glad asks before it starts one. A full Viktor project is 2,000 to 5,000 credits, but it can also be work that Glad cannot do today, such as building an app. See Glad pricing for every plan.
