Frequently asked questions

What is Pong?

Pong is an answer engine that routes each question to the AI model best at it — and, for the big calls, rallies several frontier models and merges them into one trusted, sourced answer.

What's free?

Free users get 5 fresh questions per day, unlimited instant banked answers, and the full source galaxy & news. When you hit 5 fresh questions, banked answers keep working — upgrade for more fresh firepower.

How much do Pro and Max cost?

Pro is $25/month, or $19/month if you pre-pay the year (save 24%). Max is $125/month, or $99/month annually (save 21%). Both include large monthly token allotments, uploads, generation, and more.

What are tokens, and what happens if I run out?

A token is a unit of AI compute used when Pong generates a fresh answer. Banked answers are always free. If you exhaust your monthly allotment, buy a token bucket — deposited instantly, and they never expire. Purchased tokens are used only after your monthly allotment is spent.

When do upgrades and downgrades take effect?

Upgrades are immediate — pay and your bigger allotment is available right away. Downgrades take effect on the 1st of the next month; you keep your current plan until then. Your 30-day cycle is anchored to your sign-up anniversary, not the calendar.

Does Pong remember my previous questions?

Yes. Pong keeps a lightweight, portable memory — a running summary plus key facts — so follow-ups like "which is cheaper?" or "tell me more" just work, across whichever model answers. View or clear it anytime from the brain (🧠) panel.

If I ask the same thing a different way, do I pay again?

Usually not. Pong's answer bank serves exact repeats instantly and free. For re-phrasings, a lightweight check (DeepSeek) recognizes when a differently-worded question has the same answer and serves the banked one — saving you, and us, the cost of a fresh rally.

How does Pong make money — and what about my data?

Subscriptions and token buckets. We also produce aggregated, anonymized insights from usage (demand by topic, time, region). These are stripped of personal identity and never linked back to you; we don't sell your name, email, or account. Details are in the Terms.

Can I bring my own model?

Yes — plug in any OpenAI-compatible endpoint from the ⚡ panel and your model competes in the rally on equal footing.

Is Pong always right?

No AI is. Pong grounds answers in live sources and shows them so you can verify. Don't rely on it for professional, legal, medical, or financial decisions without checking.
