Meta Muse Pricing: Free Tier, Power, Max and What Muse Tokens Buy

Meta Muse pricing has three plans: a free tier with a weekly usage limit, Power at $20 a month for 500M Muse tokens a week, and Max at $100 a month for 3B Muse tokens a week. Plans renew monthly. Developers pay separately for Muse Code ($5 to $50 a month) and the Muse Spark API.

Prices below come from Meta's own pages as of September 27, 2026. Muse and its subscriptions are in what Meta calls "limited testing", so they may change. Build costs and savings are as reported by their authors.

Meta Muse plans and prices

Plan	Price	Weekly allowance	Source
Free	$0	Usage-limited; reported as up to 100M Muse tokens	The Batch
Power	$20/month	500M Muse tokens	Meta help
Max	$100/month	3B Muse tokens	Meta help

TechCrunch calls the top tier "Maximum"; Meta's help page calls it Max. The same allowance covers every surface: the phone apps, muse.ai, WhatsApp and Muse for Mac.

Subscriptions renew automatically on the same date each month as your first purchase, and you can cancel any time. To upgrade, go to Settings, then Usage, then Upgrade, in the app or at muse.ai (Meta help). Manage the subscription on the platform where you bought it. You need to be 18 or the age of majority, and Muse is available only in the US and Canada.

Is Meta Muse free?

Yes. Meta Muse is free to use up to a weekly limit, and paid plans only raise that limit. When you hit it, Meta says you can "upgrade to a paid subscription or wait until your free usage limit has been refreshed" (Meta help). Meta's help page doesn't state the number. The Batch and eesel, quoting Zuckerberg's launch post, put it at up to 100M tokens a week.

What you get free is the whole agent: the cloud VM, its browser, connectors and checkout through Stripe Link. Meta's help page describes the paid plans only in terms of more usage, not extra features. Zuckerberg has said Meta is "making Muse free for a huge number of tokens" and plans to profit "by taking a small fee from transactions" (TechCrunch). That's why checkout partners like Stripe Link, Shop Pay, PayPal, Instacart and Expedia matter to Meta. It hasn't said how big the fee is or who pays it. See how Muse pays for things.

The invite program. Several sites, including Top5Apps and explainx.ai, report that redeeming a friend's invite code in Settings within 48 hours of signing up gives both of you a one-time grant of 1B Muse tokens. We couldn't find it on Meta's help pages, so treat the details as reported, not official. One Reddit user writing a 333-page history book says he'd used a full week's limit and 8M of his 1B bonus tokens.

Muse tokens explained

A Muse token is Meta's unit for metering agent work. Meta hasn't published a definition, and it hasn't published a conversion from tokens to tasks, a gap Layer3 Labs points out. Don't assume it maps one-to-one to the model tokens sold on the API. An agent task burns tokens on planning, browsing and tool calls as well as on the words you see.

The best evidence is what people report after real tasks:

Task	Share of the free weekly allowance	Source
Games, a website, 50 song variations and animations in one evening	About 6%, then 11% after a fake Mac OS	Gizmodo
Emailing every data broker to opt out	About 2%	Cuth
Overnight unsubscribe sweep of a whole inbox	About 10%	Negligible Capital
Writing a 333-page book	A full week, plus 8M bonus tokens	ImpressiveArt9817

Muse reports usage as a percentage of your allowance, so check it after your first few tasks. Heavy jobs like merging 400 Google Docs into one PDF or paging through a 77k-story Instagram archive will use far more than a calendar check.

Is Power or Max worth it?

Use the free tier for a week and upgrade only if you hit the wall on tasks you care about. The savings people report make the math easy when it applies:

• $40 a month off an AT&T fiber bill.
• $1,200 a year in a forgotten subscription.
• $3,500 a year on car insurance, per Joe Devoy.
• $800+ a year on cable and phone bills, per Peter Yang.

Any one of these covers a year of Power. Max makes sense if you run long background jobs daily, like a Muse that runs a plumbing company's dispatch. For more, see what people use Muse for.

Muse Code pricing

Muse Code, the terminal coding agent, has its own plans and isn't included in a Muse subscription (Meta):

Plan	Price	Usage
Everyday	$5/month	Meta lists 10–50 prompts every 5 hours
High	$15/month	5x Everyday
Power	$50/month	20x Everyday, "multi-agent by default"

DataCamp reports that Muse Code uses the contributor model by default, the cheap tier where Meta may train on your code, until you switch to Standard. More in Muse Code.

Meta Model API pricing for Muse Spark

Per Meta's pricing page, per million tokens:

Tier	Input	Output	Cached input	Training on your data
Standard	$1.25	$4.25	$0.15	No
Contributor	$0.10	$0.20	$0.002	Meta may train on it

Add-ons: web search grounding at $2.50 per 1,000 queries, Muse Image at $0.01 per image, and voice transcription at $0.18 per audio hour. Rate limits are 3,000 RPM and 4M TPM per team on Standard, and 100 RPM and 3M TPM on Contributor. Some third-party sites mention $20 in free API credits for new accounts; Meta's docs don't confirm it.

Spark is also sold through Vercel AI Gateway, OpenRouter and Cursor, and appears as a free contributor model in OpenCode.

What builders report their projects cost

• Minecraft-style world: 10 cents. mihawkxxx says his Spark 1.3 voxel build cost 10 cents.
• Five runnable games: $0.02. An AI/ML API test had Glimmer produce five games for about a fifth of Spark 1.2's cost.
• Big-file reads offloaded. The shunt-muse author measured about 4,800 tokens in and 300 out on a 617-line file, instead of loading it all into a pricier model.
• Mostly-Muse pipelines. sol-loop plans with GPT and executes with Spark; its author says over 99% of tokens run on Muse.

The counterpoint: Meta claims Spark 1.3 uses about 25% fewer tokens than 1.2, but DataCamp's three-task test found a net 12% cost increase. A bug fix and a feature got 16% and 33% cheaper, while a refactor cost 38% more (DataCamp). Measure your own workload, and see how to reduce agent costs.

What the agent's savings look like next to its price

Power costs $240 a year and Max $1,200. For comparison, the six bill negotiations in our catalog that give a monthly or yearly figure saved a median of about $540 a year, and the five insurance switches about $1,356 a year (counted by hand on September 28, 2026, as reported by the builders). Few builders report how much of their quota an errand used, but Cuth's data-broker opt-out took about 2% of a free week. So for occasional errands, the free tier may be enough; the paid plans are for people who run them daily. See the money use cases for the full list.

Muse Glimmer: free weights, real hardware

Muse Glimmer 30B is Apache 2.0 open weights, so the only cost is hardware. Meta says it fits under 20GB at 4-bit. Builders have run it on a 12GB laptop GPU and an 8GB RTX 4060 laptop. See running Muse Glimmer locally.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Meta Muse cost per month?

Nothing on the Free tier, which has a weekly usage limit. Power costs $20 a month for 500M Muse tokens a week, and Max costs $100 a month for 3B tokens a week. Both renew monthly.

Yes, up to a weekly limit. The Batch reports the free allowance at up to 100M Muse tokens a week. When you run out, you can wait for it to refresh or upgrade.

How many tasks do 100M Muse tokens cover?

Meta doesn't say. Users report an inbox-wide unsubscribe sweep using about 10% of the free week and a data-broker opt-out using about 2%. Gizmodo's writer built several games and a website on about 6%.

What is a Muse token?

It's Meta's metering unit for agent work, covering planning, browsing and tool calls. Meta hasn't published a definition or a task conversion, so don't compare it directly with API token prices.

No. Muse Code has separate plans at $5, $15 and $50 a month, and the Meta Model API is billed per token.

Does Meta charge fees on Muse purchases?

Zuckerberg said Meta plans to profit by taking a small fee from transactions. Meta hasn't published the fee or said whether shoppers or merchants pay it.
