Plans and context
What each plan gives HY4 Preview.
It is included from Pro at $14.99 a month.
Context is how much the storyteller reads before it writes: the latest scenes, plus the memories, recap, and lore cards the moment needs. Bigger plans give a model more of it, which helps most in long campaigns.

|---|---|---|
| Pro | 16K tokens | $14.99 |
| Ultra | 32K tokens | $24.99 |
| Legendary | 48K tokens | $49.99 |
