Vendor publishes no figure
USD of Basic Usage per month, figure not published
›The vendor's own wording
The plan table gives the Free column's "Dollar Usage quota" as "Limited monthly allowance", and the pricing page's compare table gives "Monthly Basic Usage" as "Limited usage". Neither states a figure. The page's embedded product catalog carries "basic_usage_limit": 1, which neither page states.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."
