Ways to spend less on Raycast
On Pro, plug in your own AI key so chats don't use up credits
Pro lets you add your own Anthropic, Google, OpenAI or OpenRouter key under Settings, AI, Models & Providers. Chats then bill to that key rather than your 500 monthly credits, at the provider's normal API rates. Tools that run on Raycast's servers, like image generation, still use credits.
