AI usage limits explained

InTab’s AI features that run on InTab’s backend - the selection popover, grammar, YouTube summaries, dictation, and read-aloud - have usage limits. (The multi-model AI chat is separate: it runs on your own provider accounts and doesn’t count against these.)

Free vs. paid

  • Free and Legacy plans get a fast, smaller model and modest daily allowances, plus a claimable top-up bonus when you run low.
  • Pro and Max get the flagship “smart” model and much higher daily limits.

Approximate daily allowances (rolling limits also apply):

FeatureFree / LegacyProMax
YouTube summaries~6 / day~40~120
Summarize~12 / day~60~150
Rewrite~15 / day~100~250
Translate~15 / day~100~250
Ask~15 / day~60~150
Dictation~10 min / day~60 min~150 min
Read aloud~6k chars / day~80k~160k
Grammar fixes~400 / day~1,000~2,500

These numbers can change as we tune fair-use; the live meters in Settings → Account always show what’s left and when it resets.

Pro-only AI features

A few things are gated to paid plans entirely:

  • AI suggested questions on selected text,
  • AI tab clustering (free falls back to grouping by website),
  • Smart Screenshots and AI screenshot naming,
  • the YouTube server transcript fallback, and
  • cloud sync of chat history.

Smart @ search in chat isn’t paid-only - it works on every plan, with its own free/Legacy daily allowance that Pro and Max raise like everything else above.

Watching your usage

Open Settings → Account for per-feature meters with a live reset countdown. Free users can claim a bonus refill when a meter runs out; paid users see “X left today.” To lift the limits, see Free, Pro, Max & Lifetime.
