Works with
- Claude Code
- Codex
- Cursor
- GitHub Copilot
- Your own key
- Ollama
Bring the AI you already have.
Ice doesn’t sell you a model to work. It drives the one you pay for already, or a free one on your own computer.
- Your subscription
- Claude through Claude Code, ChatGPT through Codex, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot. Claude’s sign-in happens inside Claude Code itself; Ice never sees your login.
- Your own key
- OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The key stays in your system keychain, and calls go straight from your computer to them.
- Local and free
- A model on your own machine through Ollama. Nothing leaves it, and nothing is paid per message.
Optional · For founding members
Ice Plus and Pro. More devices, and peace of mind.
Ice works fully without a plan. Add one if you want your devices linked anywhere, backed up encrypted, and a monthly allowance of Ice Cloud credits so you never need a key. During the beta, plans and Ice Cloud are open to founding members.

Ice Cloud
Ice Cloud models (optional).

Models
A turn here is about 4,000 tokens in (your words and what’s on screen) and 400 out. You pay for the tokens each request actually used.
| Model | Runs on | Good for | Per turn |
|---|---|---|---|
Coreice/coreAny plan | Google Gemini 3.8 Flash | Ice's default: quick, sees the screen, good with tools. | ≈ 5.7 credits$0.95 in · $4.70 out per million tokens |
Sharpice/sharpPlus and up | Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 | Careful work: writing, code and long tasks. | ≈ 15 credits$2.50 in · $12.50 out per million tokens |
Deepice/deepPro and up | Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 | The strongest model, for the hardest problems. | ≈ 30 credits$5.00 in · $25.00 out per million tokens |
We may move a model to a better one; this table always says what it runs on today.
Questions
What does the $5 get me, and for how long?
Ice itself, for life. The first 100 people are founding members: you get the full desktop app now, every future version of it, for as long as we make Ice, with no further charge, running on your own AI. Builds go out in reservation order, with a direct line to the people making it; when the places are taken, the waitlist is free. It is paid once, not a subscription: nothing renews. Features that need our servers (multi-device relay, encrypted backup, Ice Cloud models) are separate, optional plans. And if we ever stop making Ice, you get a final build that keeps working on your own AI.
Do I need a subscription?
Not to us. Ice runs on the AI you already have: a Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or GitHub Copilot subscription, your own API key, or a free local model through Ollama. Ice Plus and Pro are optional add-ons for linking devices anywhere and backing up; Ice works fully without them.
Can I use my Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot subscription?
Yes. Ice works through Claude Code for Claude, Codex for ChatGPT, and Cursor and GitHub Copilot through their own agents, so the plan you already pay for does the thinking. Claude’s sign-in happens inside Claude Code itself: Ice never sees or stores your login. Or use a key from OpenRouter, OpenAI or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or Ollama on your own machine.
What do Plus and Pro add?
Convenience and peace of mind. Your devices linked anywhere through Ice Relay (5 on Plus, 10 on Pro), with push that wakes your phone and messages kept while a device is off; an encrypted backup, sealed on your device so we can’t read it; and monthly Ice Cloud credits for our hosted models, so you never need an API key. During the beta they are open to founding members. Without a plan you keep every feature of Ice, your own keys, and sync on your own network.
Can I get my money back?
Yes, all of it (price, fee and GST), any time until public launch. Sign in and choose “Request a refund” on your dashboard: there’s a two-minute survey you can skip, then a quick chat with the team, and we refund the original payment method. Banks usually show it within 7 working days of approval. Can’t sign in? Email [email protected] from the address you reserved with.
How do I pay? Is it safe?
Through Razorpay. From India you pay in rupees with UPI, cards, netbanking or wallets; from elsewhere, by card in US dollars. Card and bank details go to Razorpay and your bank — they never touch our servers. You get a receipt from Razorpay by email.
I reserved twice by mistake.
The site won’t charge an email that already has a reservation. If a second payment did go through from a different email, write to us and we refund it the same week.
What is a credit?
A tenth of a US cent: 1,000 credits are a dollar’s worth of model time. A typical turn with Core is about 6 credits; the model table shows each model.
What happens when I run out?
Ice Cloud stops answering until you add credits or your plan’s next month lands. Nothing is charged by surprise, and your own keys keep working the whole time.
Do credits expire?
No. Plan credits you don’t use carry over, and top-ups stay until you use them, even after you cancel.
Can I skip Ice Cloud entirely?
Yes, always, and for free. Every feature of Ice works on your Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Copilot subscription, a key from OpenRouter, OpenAI or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a local model through Ollama. You can mix: your own AI for some things, Ice Cloud for others.
Is what I say stored?
No. Prompts and replies pass through our server on their way to the model and are never stored or logged. We keep token counts and credits, which is what your history shows.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from your account in two clicks. The plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and every credit you have stays yours.
