Edgee Turbo Models pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
The website highlights an entry point of under 1 minute to install and says you can start saving tokens quickly, but it does not show a full public pricing table on the main product page. The site claims up to 50% cost reduction through compression, and the FAQ says cost savings are tracked in real time. The Turbo Models launch material says those models are available directly in the subscription plan and mentions a flat $29/month price for Turbo Models, with state-of-the-art open-source coding models served in Claude Code at up to 200 tok/s. The FAQ also indicates there are plan-based features such as budget alerts, dashboard tracking, and enterprise support, while BYOK can be used if you want to bring your own provider keys.
