AI & models

More product per dollar of AI.

We put real work into making a dollar of AI go further. Doric sends every task to the model that does it best — and only the expensive ones when it actually counts — so your allowance builds more tested product than raw model calls ever would. Every paid plan includes a monthly AI allowance, so you never have to think about it.

Why your AI goes further

The right model for each job.

Most of a build is structural work that doesn't need a frontier model. Doric routes by the kind of work — and re-weights continuously as model prices and quality move — so you never overpay for a model you didn't need.

Logic

Claude Opus

Judgment, architecture and the hard reasoning — where getting it right is worth the cost.

Imagination

Gemini

Breadth and ideation — exploring options, shaping product, covering ground fast.

Compute

DeepSeek

Cheap, heavy lifting — the high-volume structural work that would burn a premium model.

Routing is automatic and cache-aware — it switches models only at a prompt-cache boundary and carries only the context each turn needs, so a dollar of your allowance buys more built product. Under the hood →

Two ways to power it

Included AI, or your own key.

Included monthly AI

Every paid plan includes that dollar amount of AI usage each month — $20 on Starter, up to $200 on Team — metered against a visible allowance. It runs on Doric's routing, so it goes further than the same spend direct. The allowance resets each month and doesn't roll over; if you run out, move up a tier for more headroom right away.

Bring your own key

Connect a provider key you already have and pay your provider directly — free to use on every plan, including Free. Doric's routing still works across the models your key exposes. One thing to know: deploying to production still needs a paid subscription — a key alone covers the AI, not the deploy.

Questions

About AI & models.

What does my plan include for AI?

Each paid plan includes AI usage equal to the plan price every month: $20 on Starter, $50 on Builder, $100 on Pro, $200 on Team. It's metered against a visible allowance and runs on Doric's routing, so it goes further than the same spend direct.

Why does Doric's routing make AI go further?

Doric sends structural tasks to cheap models and reserves the expensive ones for moments that need them. Most of a build is scaffolding and plumbing that doesn't need a frontier model — so the same money builds more finished product than paying a flat rate on one provider.

Does my allowance roll over? Can I top up?

No. The allowance resets at the start of each billing cycle and unused usage does not carry forward, and there are no one-time top-ups. If you consistently need more, move up a tier — the next tier simply includes a larger monthly allowance.

What happens if my allowance runs out mid-build?

Work pauses until your next cycle resets the allowance, or until you upgrade a tier or connect your own key. Nothing is lost — your project, history and map are exactly where you left them.

Can I bring my own API key instead?

Yes — free to use on every plan, including Free. Connect a key you already have and pay your provider directly; routing still works across the models your key exposes. Note that deploying to production still requires a paid subscription — a key without a plan lets you build and preview, not deploy.
