GAIA has two plans: Free and Pro. Free gives you full access to every feature with daily and monthly limits. Pro raises those limits dramatically — so you can use GAIA as much as you need without hitting walls. This guide covers how to check your usage, what each plan includes, how to upgrade, and where to find your billing details.Check Your Current Usage

Plans and Limits
Free Plan
The Free plan costs nothing and never expires. You get access to every GAIA feature — with limits that let you try the product properly before deciding to upgrade. What’s included:- 200 chat messages per day (5,000/month)
- 10 web searches per day (50/month)
- 5 workflow operations per day (20/month)
- 1 AI image generation per day (2/month)
- 2 deep research sessions per day (10/month)
- 50 todo operations per day (1,000/month)
Pro Plan
Pro raises limits by 25–250x across every feature, plus gives you priority support and access to private Discord channels. What’s included:- 3,000 chat messages per day (60,000/month)
- 450 web searches per day (13,500/month)
- 45 workflow operations per day (1,350/month)
- 45 AI image generations per day (1,350/month)
- 20 deep research sessions per day (600/month)
- 1,500 todo operations per day (22,500/month)
GAIA tracks usage across 20+ operation types — chat messages, web search,
workflows, file analysis, code execution, calendar management, reminders,
notes, memory operations, and more. Each counter resets on its own schedule.
Hitting a daily limit on one feature doesn’t affect anything else.

What Happens When You Hit a Limit
When you reach a daily or monthly cap, GAIA tells you inline — right in the conversation. The message shows which limit you hit and when it resets. You have two options:- Wait for the reset. Daily limits clear at midnight UTC. Monthly limits clear on the first of the month.
- Upgrade to Pro. Pro limits are high enough that most heavy users never run into them.
