Drew AI offers three model tiers, each designed for different types of questions. You can switch between them depending on what you need — quick answers, detailed analysis, or deep research.
The three tiers
Light
Model: Claude Haiku 4.5
Best for: Quick, straightforward questions that need a fast answer.
Credit cost: Lowest — approximately 1-2 credits per question.
Examples:
"How many orders did we get yesterday?"
"What is our current Google Ads spend?"
"List my active Meta campaigns."
Light mode responds in a few seconds and is ideal for simple lookups where you just need a number or a quick summary.
Pro (Default)
Model: Claude Sonnet 4.6
Best for: Most day-to-day analytics questions that require reasoning, comparisons, or multi-step analysis.
Credit cost: Moderate — approximately 3-8 credits per question.
Examples:
"Compare my Meta and Google Ads performance this month."
"Which customer segments are at risk of churning?"
"Break down my revenue by product category for the last 30 days."
Pro mode is the default because it offers the best balance of speed, depth, and cost. It handles most analytics questions well.
Deep Analysis
Model: Claude Opus 4.5
Best for: Complex, multi-faceted questions that require thorough research and nuanced reasoning.
Credit cost: Highest — approximately 10-30 credits per question.
Examples:
"Give me a complete weekly marketing report with cross-channel analysis and budget recommendations."
"Analyze my customer LTV by acquisition cohort and identify which channels bring the highest-value customers."
"Do a full product performance audit — hero products, ad spend wasters, and repurchase opportunities."
Deep Analysis takes longer (30-90 seconds) but produces the most comprehensive, executive-level insights.
How to switch tiers
Your Drew AI tier is set at the account level based on your plan:
Free plan: Uses Light mode by default
Essentials plan: Uses Pro mode by default
Pro plan: Uses Pro mode by default, with access to Deep Analysis
Choosing the right tier
A good rule of thumb: start with Pro for most questions. Use Light when you want a quick number and want to conserve credits. Switch to Deep Analysis for weekly reports, strategy sessions, or questions that span multiple data sources and require detailed recommendations.
