# Fast vs Smart

> Two model tiers — a free always-on tier, and a smarter tier with a daily allowance.

Skopos runs on two LLM tiers, switchable from the composer in the app.

## Fast

The default tier. Fast, free, and always available — no daily cap, no wallet required. It's a lighter model, tuned for quick, direct answers: prices, lookups, straightforward swaps.

## Smart

A more capable model for reasoning-heavy questions — comparing routes, explaining tradeoffs, or answering an open-ended "should I..." question with real context instead of a canned line.

Smart has a daily message allowance:

| Wallet state                        | Daily Smart messages                                       |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| No wallet connected                 | A small teaser allowance, then a connect-wallet prompt     |
| Wallet connected, no `$skopos` held | A free daily cap                                           |
| `$skopos` held                      | A higher cap — see [Token Utility](/pricing/token-utility) |

## What happens at the limit

Hitting the Smart cap doesn't break anything — Skopos degrades gracefully back to Fast rather than refusing to answer. You can also subscribe for uncapped Smart access.

## Why there's a cap at all

Smart runs through a paid LLM gateway, unlike Fast. The cap exists so a free tier can exist at all without unlimited inference cost — it's a cost boundary, not an artificial scarcity gimmick.
