Models
Pick the right model
Dianoetic has three models. Leave it on Auto and it picks for you, based on what you ask. Here's how they differ if you want to choose yourself.
| Feature | Comet | Orbit New | Zenith |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Quick everyday questions | Everyday tasks: documents, spreadsheets, emails, websites and writing | Hard problems, maths and serious code |
| Speed | Fastest | Fast | Takes time to think |
| Reasoning | Light | Medium | Deep, and checks its own work |
| Writing style | Short and direct | Natural and creative | Precise and structured |
| Word and Excel | Download | Download, or save to OneDrive | Download |
| Websites | Simple pages | Its specialty: HTML, CSS and JavaScript | Complex apps |
| Credits per reply | 1 | 2 | 4 |
| Plan | Every plan, including free | Thinker and Thinker Max | Thinker and Thinker Max |
| Dianoetic Code | No | No | Yes, it powers Code |
| Reads images | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Plugins and web tools | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Effort
Every model has five effort levels: Light, Medium, High, High-Plus and Ultra. More effort means longer thinking and longer answers, and costs more credits: Light is half price and Ultra is five times. At Ultra, the model writes a draft, reviews it like a strict expert, and gives you the fixed version.
Which one should I use?
- Not sure? Use Auto. It sends maths, logic and code to Zenith, documents, spreadsheets, websites and writing to Orbit, and quick questions to Comet.
- On the free plan? Comet is included, with 40 credits every 5 hours.
- Building something? Use Dianoetic Code, which runs on Zenith and can preview websites or edit your real project in the Windows app.

Is Dianoetic free?
Yes. The Base plan is free and includes Comet with 40 credits every 5 hours and 250 a week. Thinker ($5 a month) unlocks Zenith, Orbit and Dianoetic Code.
What does a credit mean?
Each reply uses credits: 1 for Comet, 2 for Orbit and 4 for Zenith at Medium effort. Your plan's credits refill every 5 hours and every week.
Which model is the smartest?
Zenith. It reasons the longest, re-checks calculations and code, and powers Dianoetic Code.
