Muse's pricing is refreshingly simple on the surface: a free tier, and two paid plans at $20 and $100 a month. The catch is in what isn't published — and in one setup detail that surprises everyone.
The three tiers
| Tier | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Standard use and light task delegation. Meta says most people will stay here. |
| Power | $20/month | More usage for handing off everyday tasks. |
| Maximum | $100/month | The highest usage limits, for heavy delegation. |
That's the whole menu. There are no per-seat business tiers, no annual-discount page, no add-on packs as of this writing — just usage-based steps.
The usage meter is the real pricing page
Since Meta hasn't published exact quotas — no "X tasks per month" or "Y messages per day" figures exist publicly — the usage meter in the app is effectively your pricing page. It shows what percentage of your allowance remains, and the app warns you before free usage runs out, presenting subscription options at that point.
After my first heavy week — daily inbox triage, a travel-booking task, and a background price watch running — I'd used a noticeable but not alarming slice of the free allowance. The meter is the thing to watch, not the plan names. If you're considering this for real work, run your actual workload for a week and read the meter before deciding anything.
Why it wants your card on the free tier
Setup requires a payment card even if you never intend to pay. The logic: subscriptions kick in as usage rises, and the card means a busy month doesn't strand a half-finished task. It's a reasonable design that feels unreasonable the first time you see it — you're not being charged, but you're one heavy month away from a decision.
Practical advice: set a calendar reminder to check the meter after your first two weeks. That's when you'll know which tier, if any, your actual usage demands.
Who should actually pay?
- Stay free if you're delegating a few tasks a week, experimenting, or still learning the ropes. Most curious users land here, per Meta's own expectation.
- Power ($20) makes sense when Muse is doing daily work for you — morning triage, ongoing monitoring, regular research. If the meter keeps dipping low in week three, this is your tier.
- Maximum ($100) is for serious volume: running background goals around the clock, delegating across a team-adjacent workload, or treating Muse as infrastructure rather than an app.
Don't pre-buy. The most common pricing mistake with a new agent product is subscribing for the workflow you hope to build rather than the one you have. Run free until the meter tells you otherwise — the upgrade takes seconds when you actually need it.
What to watch
Pricing for a ten-day-old product will move. The things that would change this page: published quotas per tier, annual billing, a team or business plan, or transaction fees on purchases Muse makes for you (analysts have speculated about this as a future revenue lever — it's not a current feature). I'll update this page when any of that lands.
Quick answers
Is Muse free?
Yes — there's a free tier Meta expects to cover most users, with a usage meter tracking your allowance. Power ($20/month) and Maximum ($100/month) add more usage.
Why does Muse need my payment card for the free tier?
So subscriptions can kick in if your usage rises, without interrupting your work. You're warned before free usage runs out.
What are the exact usage limits?
Meta hasn't published per-tier quotas. Your app's usage meter is the authoritative source for your account.
Can I cancel a paid plan?
Manage subscriptions from the subscription screen in Muse, where plan details for your account are shown. As with any subscription, check the terms shown there before subscribing.
