Excluded from numerical estimates

Subscription charges only. Extra tokens, Chips, Dreamcoins, Neurons, character add-ons and taxes are excluded. Credit units are different across platforms and cannot be compared as image counts.

Future renewals use the stated renewal price, or assume the same quoted amount when no separate renewal amount was verified. Quotes can change by region, offer and account. How the calculation works.

Personality controls	Personality, greeting, scenario and example dialogue configure a character. Public and private visibility are documented.	Character definitions include description, scenario, example dialogue and advanced prompt fields.

“Not checked” is different from “not supported.” Documentation establishes a described feature, not its quality, availability on every plan or performance. How we assess evidence.
