Synthetic announces major pricing restructuring with significant rate limit changes

Synthetic's pricing overhaul

Synthetic has announced a complete restructuring of its pricing model after subscriber count quadrupled last month and the company was losing money on new subscribers. The changes affect both existing Standard and Pro tier users.

New subscription pack system

The Standard tier is being converted to subscription packs priced at $30/month ($1/day). Users can purchase up to five packs total. Each pack includes:

• 135 messages over five hours, per pack
• 500 free tool calls per day, per pack
• 1 concurrent request, per model

Existing Standard subscribers will receive a special "Founder Edition" pack with a rate limit of 200 messages instead of 135.

Pro tier sunset and conversion

The Pro tier is being discontinued. Existing Pro users will convert to two packs (one being the Founder's Edition pack) for $60/month, providing:

• 335 requests per five hours (down from 1,250)
• Two concurrent requests

Concurrency features

The new system allows parallel requests by purchasing multiple packs. With five packs, users can have up to five parallel requests guaranteed. The concurrency is per-model, meaning on a single subscription pack, users can have a Kimi K2.5 request and a concurrent MiniMax M2.5 request.

Timeline and availability

Current subscribers will maintain their existing plans until the end of their billing period, then roll into the new plan with special higher rate limits. Waitlisted users will start being accepted in batches beginning Monday, March 2nd, with the goal of clearing the waitlist by Monday, March 16th.

The service continues to provide access to all models and compatibility with OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible agents including OpenClaw, Claude Code, OpenCode, Crush, Octofriend, and others.
