Allowances
3USD of Basic Usage per month
›The vendor's own wording
The plan table's "Basic Usage/month" row gives the Free column "$3", against the glossary's definition: "Basic Usage — The basic quota obtained after subscribing to a plan, which can be used directly. The unused quota for the current month will not be carried over to the next month." The same table gives Free "Bonus Usage ❌", so this is the whole of it.Open the source page

Subscription versus your own API key
This compares two ways of working the same way — in an IDE or CLI, where BYOK tools make a direct API key a real option. It is not a claim that subscriptions are cheaper than the API in general.

Usage terms
Quoted from the vendor's own terms. We do not give legal advice.
What the plan grants is a balance, not an endpoint: "Dollar Usage — The core billing concept in TRAE, referring to actual US dollar currency, which is used as the final deduction unit for each user's chat. All token-generated costs are internally converted to Dollar and then deducted." Models TRAE does not host arrive on your own credentials — the custom-model flow asks you to supply "the API format, request URL, model ID, and authentication information". Spending past the balance is a switch on the same account rather than a second product: "Only Lite, Pro, Pro+, and Ultra users can use the On-demand Usage feature."
