Token System
Last Updated: January 30, 2026
What Are Tokens?#
Tokens are like coins in a video game! When you use anonym.legal, you spend tokens to do different things. Think of it like arcade tokens - you put them in the machine to play.
Every time you analyze or anonymize text, you spend some tokens. Different actions cost different amounts, just like some games cost more tokens than others.
How Do Tokens Work?#
When you use anonym.legal, here's what costs tokens:
- Analyzing text - Looking at your text to find private information
- Anonymizing text - Hiding or replacing private information
- Longer text - The more words you have, the more tokens it costs
- Complex operations - Fancier privacy protection uses more tokens
It's simple: the more you do, the more tokens you spend!
Token Costs (Approximate)#
Here's roughly how many tokens different tasks use:
| What You're Doing | Token Cost |
|---|---|
| Short text (a few sentences) | 1-2 tokens |
| Medium text (a paragraph) | 2-5 tokens |
| Long text (a full page) | 5-15 tokens |
| AI Entity Creation | 50 tokens |
Don't worry about the exact numbers - the app will always show you how many tokens something will cost before you do it!
Your Token Balance#
You can always see how many tokens you have left in the top right corner of the screen.
Here's how your tokens work:
- Your tokens refresh every month on your billing date
- When the new month starts, you get a fresh set of tokens
- Unused tokens don't carry over - so use them before they're gone!
Running Low on Tokens?#
Don't worry if you run out! Here's what you can do:
If you're on the Free plan:
- Just wait for your monthly refresh (you get 200 tokens each month)
If you're on a paid plan:
- You can buy extra tokens anytime!
- Basic plan: Get 250 tokens for just 1 Euro
- Pro plan: Get 300 tokens for just 1 Euro
- Business plan: Get 350 tokens for just 1 Euro
Monthly Token Allowance#
Here's how many tokens you get each month with each plan:
| Plan | Tokens per Month | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 200 | Free |
| Basic | 1,000 | 3 Euros |
| Pro | 4,000 | 15 Euros |
| Business | 10,000 | 29 Euros |
The more tokens you need, the better deal you get with bigger plans!
Referral Program#
Want free tokens? Invite your friends!
Here's how it works:
- Share your special referral link with friends
- When someone signs up using your link, you get 25 free tokens
- You can earn up to 250 tokens per month from referrals
That's like getting extra allowance just for telling your friends about something cool!
Tips to Save Tokens#
Want to make your tokens last longer? Here are some smart tips:
- Test with short text first - Try a small sample before processing a big document
- Use presets - Save your favorite settings so you don't have to redo them
- Batch process - If you have multiple texts, process them together
- Choose only what you need - Only select the entity types you actually need to find
Being smart about your tokens means you can do more with what you have!
Questions?#
If you're ever confused about tokens, just check the top right corner of your screen. The number there is how many tokens you have left to spend. When that number gets low, you know it's time to either wait for your monthly refresh or buy some more!
