Pricing and billing FAQs

Frequently asked questions about upgrading, managing billing, refunds, and invoicing with Warp's paid plans.

All paid Warp plans come with higher monthly credit limits than the Free plan.

When you upgrade from Free to a paid plan, your credit usage resets. If you’re switching between paid plans, any AI usage you’ve already accumulated will carry over.

You can subscribe to a Warp paid plan as an individual or as part of a team. To upgrade:

In the app: Go to Settings > Billing and usage, then click the Upgrade link
Online: Visit warp.dev/pricing

After entering your payment details, you’ll receive an invoice and confirmation via email.

How can I get the most out of my Warp plan?

Warp’s plans are designed for developers who rely on AI to code, debug, and move faster with their team. Pick the plan that matches the scale of your usage and the controls your team needs:

Build — Single-user usage-based plan with monthly credits, the ability to bring your own API key (BYOK) or point Warp at a custom inference endpoint, and access to Reload credits with volume-based discounts.
Max — Single-user plan for developers with heavier AI usage. Includes a larger monthly credit allowance than Build, plus a better effective rate for credits than buying Reload credits on Build.
Business — Multi-seat plan for teams. Includes everything in Build, plus admin-configurable data controls, SAML-based SSO, and centralized billing. Available up to the seat limit listed at warp.dev/pricing.
Enterprise — Custom plan for organizations that need higher seat counts, Bring Your Own LLM (BYOLLM) managed inference, granular admin controls, advanced security and compliance, and dedicated support.

Legacy plans (no longer available for new subscribers):

Pro included higher credit limits than the Free plan, support for larger codebases with Codebase Context, and access to premium models with optional pay-as-you-go Overages (Legacy).
Turbo included even higher credit limits, larger Codebase Context indexing, and the option to pay for additional usage beyond included credits via Overages (Legacy). Add-on Credits were not available on this plan.
Lightspeed was Warp’s most powerful legacy plan, offering the highest credit limits, expanded codebase indexing, access to top-tier models, and pay-as-you-go Overages (Legacy) so you could keep working without interruption.

For the most up-to-date feature and usage details — including current per-plan seat limits and monthly credit allowances — visit warp.dev/pricing.

Warp offers two options for larger teams and organizations:

Business plan: Self-serve multi-seat plan available for immediate upgrade. Includes admin-configurable data controls and admin-controlled SAML-based SSO. See warp.dev/pricing for the current seat limit.
Enterprise plan: Custom pricing, credit allowances, and terms — built for larger engineering organizations or teams with advanced security, compliance, or support needs. Enterprise also includes Bring Your Own LLM (BYOLLM) managed inference, where Warp routes traffic through your AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Azure Foundry, or internal LLM gateway with routing, orchestration, governance, and observability provided by Warp.

Independent of plan, all model provider traffic is covered by Warp’s Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreements with the underlying model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Admin-configurable data controls — including team-wide retention policies and training opt-outs — are available on Business and Enterprise.

What counts as a team member and how does billing work for members?

In Warp, a team member is any seat with access to your Team — including the shared Warp Drive, Notebooks, Workflows, and other team resources. All plans allow you to invite unlimited users, but to unlock higher limits and advanced features, you’ll need to upgrade your team to a plan. Upgrading applies to your entire team, including your own account and all active members.

On the Free plan, you can share a limited number of Notebooks and Workflows with other Free users. If your team exceeds that limit, you’ll be prompted to upgrade to a plan.

Once you upgrade, you’ll receive email notifications as team members accept invites. Billing is prorated, meaning you’re only charged for the days each member has access during your billing cycle. If a member leaves mid-cycle, Warp automatically applies a credit for the unused time to your next invoice.

There are differences in how members are billed based on your payment schedule:

Monthly plans: New members are billed immediately for the remaining time in the month.
Annual plans: New members are billed immediately for the remaining time in the year.

For example, if a member joins your monthly plan halfway through the month, you will be charged just half of the monthly fee ($25.00 out of $50). Similarly, if a member joins with four months remaining in an annual plan, you will be charged for those four months only, which amounts to $160 (4/12 of the annual $480).

If a member leaves part way through the billing cycle, Warp will issue a prorated credit based on the unused portion of their membership. This credit is applied to your team’s next invoice, regardless of whether you’re on a monthly or annual plan.

What is the value of joining or creating a team on Warp?

Team members have access to your shared Warp Drive objects and limited access to Warp’s collaboration features, including Session Sharing and Warp Drive storage.

Upgrading the team to a plan unlocks powerful collaboration and knowledge-sharing tools to help your team move faster, together:

Create unlimited Notebooks and Workflows in Warp Drive to organize and share knowledge across your team.
Use Unlimited Session Sharing to collaborate in real time through live, shared terminal sessions.

My co-workers are using Warp but we’re not on a Team together yet. How does billing work?

Individual users with either personal or work email domains may continue to use Warp independently without incurring billing. The benefit of joining together on a Warp Team is that you get access to a shared Team Drive and collaboration features.

When you’re ready to use Warp more collaboratively, we suggest you nominate an Admin to create a Team and invite members to join. When your Team exceeds the Warp Drive limits, you will be prompted to upgrade to a plan.

How does usage work if logged into the same account on multiple devices?

When you use the account to sign into Warp on different devices, for example Linux on one computer and Windows on another, your usage of metered features like credits is tracked at the account level, not the device level.

You can use your Warp account on multiple personal computers. Warp is designed to provide a consistent experience across devices. When you log in with the same account on different computers, your settings and preferences can be synced through the Settings Sync feature.

What happens when I downgrade during a billing cycle?

The subscription will downgrade to the lower plan limits at the end of the billing cycle. If you’re switching between paid plans, any AI usage you’ve already accumulated will carry over.

You can downgrade at any point throughout your subscription through the billing portal by going to Settings > Billing and usage > Manage billing.

What happens when I cancel during a billing cycle?

You can cancel at any point throughout your subscription through the billing portal by going to Settings > Billing and usage > Manage billing. The subscription will be canceled at the end of your billing cycle, monthly or yearly.

You can continue to use your Warp paid plan features until the cycle end date. Any additional team members added to your team will be invoiced at the end of your billing cycle.

What happens if I upgrade from monthly to annual billing?

When upgrading from a monthly to annual billing cycle the billing is prorated, meaning you only pay for the annual portion of the year you haven’t paid for yet. You will be billed for the remaining part of the billing year with the discounted rate.

You can upgrade at any point throughout your subscription through the billing portal by going to Settings > Billing and usage > Manage billing.

What happens to unused credits?

Unused credits do not rollover to the next cycle and can’t be transferred to other accounts. You see when your credits will reset in the Settings > Billing and usage menu.

What happens if my payment fails?

If a payment fails, you will receive an email from Stripe and your Warp Team Settings will show a past-due alert. Certain paid plan features and the ability to invite new members will be locked down while your Team is in a past-due state. Paying the most recent invoice through the billing portal by going to Settings > Billing and usage > Manage billing will fully re-enable your paid plan features.

What counts as a credit?

Each time you submit a prompt in Warp, whether to generate code, suggest a command, or accomplish a task, you initiate an interaction with the Agent. Please see more details in our credits page.

What counts as an AI token?

Tokens are chunks of text, such as words, parts of code, or characters, that large language models (LLMs) break down to analyze and generate responses. LLMs have a maximum number of tokens they can process at once. Credits and suggestions are not the same as tokens, which are limited separately regardless of which plan you’re on.

If you’re curious, you can read the OpenAI article on tokens, or refer to the pricing page for plan-level credit allocations. If you reach your monthly credit limits on a paid plan, premium models will be temporarily disabled until your quota resets at the start of your next billing cycle.

If you’d like to continue using premium models beyond your included quota, purchase Reload credits in Settings > Billing and usage (users still on legacy Pro, Turbo, or Lightspeed plans continue to use Overages (Legacy) until their first renewal after December 1, 2025).

How often do my credits reset?

Allotted credits refill every 30 days from your signup date. When you upgrade to a paid plan, you will be given more credits immediately. You can follow along with your refill period by referencing Settings > Billing and usage. Alternatively, purchase Reload credits, or enable auto-reload with a monthly spend limit, to continue using premium models beyond your included quota. Users still on legacy Pro, Turbo, or Lightspeed plans continue to use Overages (Legacy) until their first renewal after December 1, 2025.

How do credits work for multi-seat teams?

On the new multi-seat paid plans, credits attribute differently than they did on Warp’s older pooled-credit teams:

Plan-included monthly credits — Each seat receives its own monthly credit allowance that resets every 30 days based on the team’s renewal date. See warp.dev/pricing for the current per-seat allowance on your plan.
Reload credits — As of May 14, 2026, Reload credits are scoped to the individual user who purchased or was allocated them, not pooled across the team. A single heavy user can no longer drain the whole team’s purchased credits.
Grandfathered pooled credits — Teams that purchased Reload credits (formerly Add-on Credits) before May 14, 2026 keep their existing pooled balance until it’s exhausted. Pooled credits are spent down first across the team; all new Reload credit purchases after May 14, 2026 are user-scoped.
Team-wide spend cap — Admins set a single team-wide monthly spend cap that governs auto-reload across the team. See How does auto-reload work for teams? below.

Enterprise plans support team-scoped credit pools and per-user spend limits separately — see enterprise billing.

How do platform credits factor in?

Warp meters credits across three buckets: AI credits (the model call), compute credits (the sandbox a cloud agent runs in), and platform credits (run lifecycle, integrations, dashboard, APIs, and observability). All three draw from the same pool — your monthly Warp credits first, then Reload credits once those are exhausted.

Platform credits apply in two situations:

Every cloud agent run, on every plan. Warp’s platform infrastructure coordinates every cloud run regardless of which agent or inference source it uses.
Local agent runs on Business and Enterprise that use customer-supplied inference — BYOK, BYOLLM via Amazon Bedrock or Google Vertex, or a custom inference endpoint. Warp isn’t paying for the model call, but Warp’s platform infrastructure is still running the agent.

Local agent runs on Free, Build, or Max — and local runs on Business or Enterprise that use Warp-managed inference — do not consume platform credits. See platform credits for the full breakdown.

What if I need more AI usage than my plan includes?

If you regularly run through your plan’s monthly credit allowance, you have a few options:

Upgrade to Max — Designed for developers with heavier AI usage. Max includes a higher monthly credit allowance than Build, plus a better effective rate for credits than buying Reload credits on Build. See warp.dev/pricing for current allowances.
Purchase Reload credits — Top up your account on demand at $10 / 400 credits, $20 / 1,000 credits, $50 / 3,000 credits, or $100 / 6,500 credits. Larger denominations have a better effective rate. Reload credits roll over month-to-month and remain valid for 12 months.
Enable auto-reload — Pick a denomination and a monthly spend cap, and Warp will automatically purchase Reload credits when your balance drops below 100 credits, up to your cap.
Bring your own API key (BYOK) — Point Warp at your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key. Requests routed through BYOK don’t consume Warp credits — you’re billed directly by the model provider. See Bring Your Own API Key. On Business and Enterprise, platform credits may apply for local agent runs — see platform credits.
Use a custom inference endpoint — Route requests through any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenRouter, LiteLLM, z.ai, an internal gateway, etc.) without spending Warp credits. See Custom Inference Endpoint. On Business and Enterprise, platform credits may apply for local agent runs — see platform credits.

BYOK and custom inference endpoint availability is subject to organization size — see Can I bring my own API key? for details.

For organization-scale needs (cloud-provider managed inference, granular admin controls, or higher seat counts), Enterprise plans include Bring Your Own LLM (BYOLLM).

How does auto-reload work for teams?

Auto-reload prevents team members from getting blocked by credit exhaustion. It works the same way for single-user and multi-seat paid plans, with one extra knob for teams.

When auto-reload is on:

The admin chooses a Reload credit denomination ($10 / 400, $20 / 1,000, $50 / 3,000, or $100 / 6,500). Larger denominations have a better effective per-credit rate.
Whenever any individual user’s balance (plan credits + their share of Reload credits) drops below 100 credits, Warp automatically purchases another bundle of the configured denomination on the team’s behalf.
All auto-reload purchases count against a single team-wide monthly spend cap that the admin sets. Once the team hits the cap in a given month, auto-reload pauses until the next billing cycle or until the admin raises the cap.

When auto-reload is off, users keep working as long as they have plan credits, previously purchased Reload credits, or have routed Warp at their own API key or custom inference endpoint. Once those run out, premium-model usage is blocked until credits are topped up or the next billing cycle begins.

Auto-reload can be enabled, paused, or reconfigured at any time in Settings > Billing and usage.

How are service account / team-scoped API key requests billed on self-serve plans?

Some AI requests on Warp can’t be linked to an individual user — for example, requests made with a team-scoped API key, a scheduled agent, or an agent identity. These requests have no individual task billing principal. On self-serve plans (Build, Max, Business), Warp bills these requests against the team owner, while attribution stays on the service account.

The waterfall on the owner’s account is:

First, the owner’s plan-included monthly credits are consumed.
Once those are exhausted, the owner’s Reload credits are consumed.

When auto-reload is off, the service account is blocked once both buckets are depleted. When auto-reload is on, service-account usage can trigger auto-reload on the owner’s pool subject to the team-wide spend cap; further service-account requests then deplete that reloaded balance until the cap is reached.

This waterfall keeps usage attributable to the service account in audit logs and usage breakdowns, while making billing predictable for the team owner.

Can I use a Free plan if I’m a developer at a large company or organization?

Yes. Developers at any company size are welcome to use Warp’s Free plan.

If you need access to advanced collaboration features or higher limits, you may benefit from upgrading to a plan, but Warp does not require large organizations to upgrade.

Are there any Warp discounts for students, non-profits, or open-source teams?

Warp doesn’t currently offer discounts for students or non-profits. We recommend exploring the Free plan, which includes all core terminal features and is a great starting point for individual or community use.

For open source teams, two paths are available:

The Oz Open Source Partnership program offers free agent credits to high-impact open source projects.
Warp’s client itself is open source under AGPL v3, so you can build, run, and contribute to it directly. See Contributing to Warp for the flow.

Where is Warp Drive data for my team stored?

Warp Drive data is securely stored on Google Cloud Platform servers located in the United States. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

For more details, please visit the Security Overview or contact security@warp.dev.

What happened to the Lite model?

Over time, the Lite model — originally designed as a fallback when premium models ran out — began to deliver inconsistent results, especially for users running complex, multi-step prompts.

For credit-efficient usage, we encourage you to try our new Auto (cost-efficiency) model, which automatically selects the optimal model based on task complexity to help extend your credits. To continue AI usage beyond your included credits, you can purchase Reload credits, bring your own API key (BYOK), or point Warp at a custom inference endpoint. BYOK and custom inference endpoints don’t consume Warp credits, since requests go directly to your provider.

If you have any questions or feedback, please connect with us in our community Slack.

Can I bring my own API key?

Yes. On Free, Build, Max, Business, and Enterprise plans, you can configure your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key in Settings > AI > Manage models. Requests routed through your own key don’t consume Warp credits — you’re billed directly by the model provider.

See Bring Your Own API Key for setup steps, the list of supported providers and models, and the differences between BYOK, custom inference endpoints, and BYOLLM.

BYOK and custom inference endpoint support are available for individual users and organizations with 10 or fewer employees, subject to Warp’s Terms of Service. Companies or organizations with more than 10 employees require a Warp Business or Enterprise plan to use these features.

On Business and Enterprise, local agent runs that use BYOK still consume platform credits for Warp’s platform infrastructure. See platform credits.

Does Warp support custom inference endpoints?

Yes. In addition to BYOK, Warp can route requests to any OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint — including OpenRouter, LiteLLM, z.ai, and internal gateways your team already runs. Custom inference endpoint requests also don’t consume Warp credits.

Custom inference endpoints are available on Free, Build, Max, Business, and Enterprise. See Custom Inference Endpoint for configuration steps, billing behavior, and how custom inference endpoints differ from BYOK and from Enterprise’s Bring Your Own LLM (BYOLLM) managed inference.

On Business and Enterprise, local agent runs that use a custom inference endpoint still consume platform credits for Warp’s platform infrastructure. See platform credits.

What payment options are available for Warp’s self-service plans?

Warp uses Stripe as our payments processor and currently accepts the following payment methods: credit card, debit card, Link, Apple Pay, Google Pay.

We don’t support ACH, checks, PayPal, cryptocurrency, or other alternative payment methods at this time.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel at any point throughout your subscription through the billing portal by going to Settings > Billing and usage > Manage billing.

Cancelled subscriptions will remain active until the end of the billing cycle.

How do I get a refund?

For monthly subscriptions, we can issue a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of being charged and no credits have been used.

For annual subscriptions, we can issue a full refund within 15 days if no credits have been used, or a prorated refund for remaining months after that. Please see Warp’s Refund Policy for full details and exceptions.

Warp’s promotions are a way to try Warp before committing to a subscription, not get unlimited free or inexpensive AI. To prevent abuse, we’re limiting promotion codes to first-time redemptions only, so each account can only use one promotion code.

In addition certain promo codes we issue are only valid for specific plans (not all plans) and expire after a certain time. If you apply a promo code for a certain plan, then upgrade to another plan, the promotion doesn’t transfer to the new plan so you will end up paying full price for the upgrade.

Warp does allow tax exempt organizations to subscribe, but there are some additional steps that you need to take.

Create a Warp account, login, and go to the upgrade page, and select a plan, but don’t checkout or pay yet. This will only setup your billing account in the system that will be used in the later steps.
E-mail billing@warp.dev with your proof of your organization tax exempt status and your Warp account email.
Warp’s team will verify your tax exempt status and will change your account to tax exempt.
Finally, subscribe to your plan of choice. You will see no taxes applied to the bill.

There are certain prohibited and restricted businesses in which Stripe and major credit card networks will not process payments. For the most updated information, please see the full list here.

Warp’s pricing change FAQs (May 14, 2026)

The following questions cover the May 14, 2026 pricing updates: seat limits per plan, Reload credits attribution, Max plan credit allowance changes, BYOK on Free, the new Custom Inference Endpoint feature, and ZDR / data-controls clarifications.

Are there new seat limits per plan?

Yes. As of May 14, 2026, each plan has an explicit seat limit. See warp.dev/pricing for the current per-plan caps.

Teams that already exceed the new seat limit on their current plan remain in good standing — you won’t be downgraded or charged differently. However, you cannot add new members above the seat cap, including backfilling members who leave. To grow past the cap, switch to the next plan up (or to Enterprise) at any time in Settings > Billing and usage.

How are Reload credits being attributed differently?

Before May 14, 2026, Reload credits (previously called Add-on Credits) on multi-seat teams were pooled — every team member drew from a single shared balance. As of May 14, 2026, Reload credits are user-scoped: each user has their own balance, and a single heavy user can no longer drain the whole team’s purchased credits.

Grandfathering for pre-May 2026 pooled credits: Existing pooled Reload credit balances are honored. They drain first across the team before any new user-scoped Reload credits are consumed. No new credits will be added to the pooled balance — once it’s exhausted, all future Reload credit purchases are user-scoped.

For details, see Reload credits.

Is the Max plan’s monthly credit allowance changing?

Yes. The Max plan’s monthly credit allowance is decreasing as of May 14, 2026. For the current allowance, see warp.dev/pricing.

Grandfathering for existing Max subscribers:

Annual subscribers are honored at the prior credit allowance through the end of their current annual contract. The new allowance takes effect on the first renewal after the contract ends.
Monthly subscribers are honored at the prior credit allowance until their first renewal or payment on or after July 1, 2026. The new allowance takes effect at that renewal.
Any plan change forfeits grandfathering — switching to or from Max during the grandfather window moves you to the new allowance immediately.

Confirm the exact allowance applied to your account in Settings > Billing and usage.

Can I bring my own API key on the Free plan now?

Yes. As of May 14, 2026, bring your own API key (BYOK) is available on all plans, including Free. Previously, BYOK required a Build, Business, or Enterprise subscription. You can configure your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key in Settings > AI > Manage models.

See Bring Your Own API Key for the full list of supported providers and setup steps.

What is the new Custom Inference Endpoint feature?

Custom Inference Endpoint (CIE) is a new way to route Warp’s AI traffic through any OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint — including OpenRouter, LiteLLM, z.ai, and internal gateways your team already runs. CIE is available on Free, Build, Max, Business, and Enterprise.

CIE differs from BYOK and BYOLLM:

BYOK sends requests directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google using your own provider API key.
Custom inference endpoint sends requests to any OpenAI-compatible URL you control (or that your team runs).
BYOLLM is an Enterprise-only managed inference feature where Warp routes traffic through your AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Azure Foundry, or internal LLM gateway with full routing, orchestration, governance, and observability provided by Warp.

For setup and details, see Custom Inference Endpoint.

How does Zero Data Retention (ZDR) work on the new plans?

Two distinct things are sometimes both called “ZDR” — May 14, 2026 makes the distinction clearer:

Model provider ZDR — Warp has Zero Data Retention agreements with the underlying model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) so your prompts and completions aren’t retained by those providers for training or logging. This applies to all plans, including Free.
Admin-configurable data controls — Settings that let admins control what Warp itself retains for the team (data retention windows, training opt-outs, etc.). These are available on Business and Enterprise, and replace what was previously described as “automatically enforced team-wide ZDR.”

If you previously relied on the “automatically enforced team-wide ZDR” language on Business, your data controls are unchanged — Warp still does not retain your team’s data for training, and admins can still configure retention. The terminology change disambiguates Warp’s controls from the provider-level ZDR that applies to every plan.
