To get Muse Wonder in the Muse app, subscribe to a paid plan inside the app or at muse.ai. The $20/month Power plan and the $100/month Maximum plan both put Muse Wonder in charge of your assistant. The free tier keeps running on Muse Spark 1.3, and Meta is rolling Wonder out to subscribers in waves.

Key takeaways

  • Muse Wonder is Meta’s new frontier model, announced by Mark Zuckerberg on October 12, 2026. In the consumer app, it is available to paid subscribers only.
  • Power ($20/month) and Maximum ($100/month) both unlock Wonder in the Muse app. Either one will do; the difference is usage allowance, not the model.
  • Subscribe through the mobile app or at muse.ai with your Meta account. Billing renews monthly on your purchase date, and you can cancel anytime.
  • Muse Wonder Full, the strongest version, is not in the consumer app. It is exclusive to Muse Code subscribers.
  • The rollout is happening in waves, so the option may not appear for everyone on day one.

What you’re actually getting

On October 12, 2026, Meta launched Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, its first frontier-class model family. Two versions: Muse Wonder, the fast frontier model, and Muse Wonder Full, the full-strength version.

For Muse app users, this means the free app runs on Muse Spark 1.3, while paid subscribers get Muse Wonder powering the same assistant — the same agent that books, calls, and runs errands, now with a frontier model behind it. Zuckerberg put it directly in his announcement thread: “You can use Muse Wonder to power your Muse by subscribing today.”

There is no separate app to download and no mode to switch on. The model follows the subscription. For a deeper look at what changes with the upgrade, see our Spark vs. Wonder comparison.

Step-by-step: subscribing in the Muse app

Meta’s own help page says it plainly: “You can subscribe with your Meta account through the mobile app or at muse.ai.” Here is the process as Meta documents it:

1. Make sure you’re eligible. To subscribe, you need a Meta account (create one with Facebook, Instagram, or email), you must be 18 or the age of majority in your country, and you need to be in a country where Muse is available. Subscriptions are in limited testing and are not available in every location yet.

2. Open the Muse app or go to muse.ai. If you don’t have the app, it is available for iOS and Android; muse.ai works in a browser. Log in with your Meta account if you haven’t already.

3. Choose Power or Maximum. Both paid plans unlock Muse Wonder in the app. Power costs $20/month and includes 500 million Muse tokens per week. Maximum costs $100/month with 3 billion tokens per week. Weekly usage allowance is the thing that scales as you upgrade. That is the only documented difference between the two tiers.

4. Complete the purchase. Your subscription renews automatically each month on the same date you purchased. You can view your subscription details, update your payment method, or cancel at any time.

5. Wait for Wonder to roll out to your account. Meta is bringing Wonder to subscribers in waves, so it may take a little time after subscribing before your assistant is running on the new model. If you subscribed and don’t notice a difference yet, check back. The rollout started on announcement day and is still progressing.

One caveat on the steps above: Meta hasn’t published the exact in-app navigation path to the subscription screen, and the interface is still in limited testing, so the precise location of the subscribe button may vary. If you don’t see it in the app, muse.ai is the other official route.

Power or Maximum: which one do you need?

For Muse Wonder specifically, it doesn’t matter. Both plans run your assistant on Wonder. The choice comes down to how much you use Muse:

  • Power ($20/month): 500M Muse tokens/week. For most paying users, this is plenty.
  • Maximum ($100/month): 3B Muse tokens/week, six times the allowance. For people running Muse heavily across shopping, scheduling, and household admin all day.

The free tier continues to exist with a weekly usage allowance (around 1M input tokens per week), running on Muse Spark 1.3. Nothing about the free agent is being taken away; the subscription buys a smarter model plus much more usage. For the full pricing picture, see Muse Wonder pricing explained.

What changes once you’re subscribed

The assistant is the same one you already have: the same apps it can connect to, the same things it can do. What changes is the brain running it:

  • Active Memory: Wonder retains important context about you across conversations, for weeks or months, and surfaces it when a later task needs it.
  • Active Focus: on long, difficult tasks, the model keeps at the goal: trying different approaches when stuck, asking for clarification, and checking with you before important actions.
  • Stronger benchmark performance: Wonder Full ranks in the top tier of independent evaluations, and the standard Wonder is a large jump over Muse Spark.

In practice, the difference should show up on long-running, multi-step work: projects where the free Muse would lose the thread or need you to re-explain context.

What you can’t get in the consumer app

Muse Wonder Full, the strongest version of the model, is not available through the Muse app at any price. Per TechCrunch’s reporting on the launch, it is exclusive to Muse Code subscribers on Meta’s $50 or $200/month plans, and it is not offered through the Meta Model API either.

Developers who want Wonder without a consumer subscription can access the standard Muse Wonder through the Meta Model API at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens.

And if you’d rather wait: Zuckerberg has said Meta will “work to bring this level of intelligence to everyone over time,” which suggests the free tier may get Wonder eventually. Meta hasn’t said when.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay to get Muse Wonder in the Muse app? Yes, for now. Wonder powers Muse for subscribers on the $20/month Power plan or the $100/month Maximum plan. The free tier runs on Muse Spark 1.3.

Which plan do I need — Power or Maximum? Either; both unlock Muse Wonder in the app. Maximum only adds a larger weekly usage allowance (3B vs. 500M tokens).

Where exactly do I subscribe? Through the mobile app or at muse.ai, logged in with your Meta account. Meta hasn’t documented the exact button location in the app, and the interface is still in limited testing. If you can’t find it in the app, muse.ai is the other official option.

I subscribed but don’t see a difference. Is it working? Meta is rolling Wonder out to subscribers in waves, so it may take some time after your purchase. The rollout began on announcement day (October 12, 2026). If nothing has changed, check back.

Can I cancel if I don’t like it? Yes. The subscription renews monthly on your purchase date, and you can view your details, update your payment method, or cancel at any time.

Can I get Muse Wonder Full in the Muse app? No. The full-strength version is exclusive to Muse Code subscribers ($50 or $200/month plans). It isn’t in the consumer app or the API.

Will the free tier ever get Wonder? Possibly. Zuckerberg said Meta will work to bring this level of intelligence to everyone over time, but no date has been announced. For now, it’s subscribers only.
