Desktop app
The Windows desktop app is a free download during preview — no license fee and no trial clock.
Chat.AIDownloadPricing
Free desktop app, paid cloud credits.
Chat.AI is free during preview. Plans, top-ups, and reseller pricing follow as the product matures — here is what that split looks like.
Assigned API access
Preview accounts come provisioned with an assigned API key and a model list matched to that key.
Product updates
Desktop updates and release notes ship to every preview account at no charge.
Free now, paid later
Everything above is included today. The paid side arrives with general availability:
Cloud credits
Paid top-ups will convert to account credits spent per model call, as the product matures.
Plans and top-ups
Published plan and top-up prices arrive with general availability — nothing is charged during preview.
Reseller pricing
Bulk reseller pricing is arranged through support while public pricing is being finalized.
How billing will work
Top up, get credits, spend per model.
1. Top up
Add funds to your account when paid access opens. Until then, preview access stays free.
2. Get credits
Top-ups become account credits — one balance that works across the model families your key allows.
3. Spend per model
Each response draws from that balance at the model's rate. Heavier models cost more per call.
Pricing questions
The short answers.
What does Chat.AI cost today?
Nothing. Chat.AI is free during preview: the desktop app, your assigned API access, and updates are all included.
What will I pay for later?
Cloud credits. The desktop app stays a free download — paid top-ups cover the model usage behind your chats once paid access opens.
When will prices be published?
As the product matures. Prices will be published before paid access goes live, and preview users will see them announced in the release notes and product-updates newsletter first.
Do you support resellers?
Yes. Chat.AI offers a separate reseller experience for bulk purchases. Contact support to request reseller access.
