Bankr Club & Max Mode
In this article
In this article group
Bankr's free tier gives you a few free messages a day on the terminal. For more, you need a Bankr Club subscription or Max Mode credits — and you can use both together: Club for everyday use, Max Mode when you want to pick the exact model. Current prices and limits are on the Access page on docs.bankr.bot.
Bankr Club | Max Mode | |
|---|---|---|
Cost | Monthly or yearly subscription — USDC by default, or BNKR / ETH / any Base ERC-20 (current pricing) | Pay-per-token from LLM credits |
Messages/day | Unlimited on the terminal. X, Telegram, Farcaster and the Agent API each have their own access gates (the Agent API daily cap is higher for members) | Unlimited on the terminal (pay-per-token); the Agent API caps non-Club Max Mode daily |
Model | The standard fast model — use Max Mode when you want a premium model | A premium model you pick from the Max Mode lineup — current models at bankr.bot/llm |
Best for | Daily chat, trading, research | Complex tasks where you want to choose a specific model |
What Club Includes
Unlimited messages on the terminal
Token launches (Club members only — Max Mode alone doesn't unlock them)
More scheduled agent commands (see Automations on docs.bankr.bot for limits)
Browser sessions, advanced research, and analytics
More free app-agent runs for apps and x402 endpoints you deploy
Early access to new features and the private Bankr Club chat
Subscribing to Bankr Club
Ask Bankr in chat:
Subscribe to Bankr Club
It'll walk you through payment. Default is USDC. BNKR is paid directly; to pay with ETH or any other Base ERC-20, just say so and it's swapped to USDC at checkout. Yearly is the better deal if you use Bankr every day. Check your status anytime:
what is my Club status?
Note: Club subscriptions require an embedded Bankr wallet (auto-created when you sign in with email, X, Farcaster, or Telegram). External/connected wallets (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet) can't subscribe — use Max Mode instead, which works with any wallet.
Note: Original Bankr Club NFTs from the initial drop are commemorative collectibles — they do not grant membership. Subscribe through chat.
Upgrades, Transfers & Gifts
Monthly → yearly: ask Bankr
Upgrade to yearly Bankr Club. You pay the full yearly price and your remaining monthly time stacks on top — nothing you've paid for is lost. Yearly terms can't be downgraded back to monthly until they expire.Transfers: memberships can't be transferred to another account. You can cancel auto-renewal (benefits run to the end of the billing period) or use the gift flow to pay for a new subscription for someone else.
Cancelling or a failed renewal: see How Do I Cancel Bankr Club, and What If a Renewal Fails?
Using Max Mode
Web: click the mode button in the message box (it reads Fast on the default model) and choose Max, then click the model name in the menu to pick one. Choose Fast to switch back.
CLI:
bankr "analyze my portfolio" --model <model-name>
The web picker and the CLI offer the same Max Mode models. If the CLI rejects a newly launched model, run bankr update. For the current model lineup, see LLM Gateway & Credits.
Your Max Mode choice syncs across every surface (web, X, Telegram, CLI, automations).
LLM Credits
Max Mode is paid from LLM credits, denominated in USDC. Ask Bankr to add LLM credits in chat, or top up at bankr.bot/llm?tab=credits. For checking your balance, auto top-up, and what happens when credits run out mid-task, see LLM Gateway & Credits.
FAQ
Do I need both? No. Either one unlocks unlimited messaging on the terminal. Token launches are the exception: they need Club. Most users start with Club.
Can Club members use Max Mode too? Yes. They stack — Club covers everyday unlimited messaging on the standard model, and Max Mode lets you run a specific premium model of your choice on top.
Model discounts? Yes — see Model Discounts.
What about free tier? You get a few free messages a day on the terminal, over a 24-hour window that starts with your first message, on the fast standard model. Token launches and browser tools require Club. Apps and @bankrbot replies on X require Club or Max Mode.
