You keep paying Anthropic and OpenAI directly. AI Pool charges a flat fee for each plan in your pool, with no markup on usage.
No card for the trial. Routing pauses if you don't activate. Your plans are untouched.

This is a local build: billing is simulated. Activating a plan in the app flips the workspace to "active" without taking payment.
Each Claude or ChatGPT subscription you sign in to the pool. Overflow API keys are free to connect; their usage is billed by the provider per token.
Requests through your keys return a "trial ended" error until the workspace owner activates billing. Your plans, keys and history stay as they are.
No. Members join free and can optionally connect their own plan.
