Simple, flat pricing for AI site search
Achla AI has two flat monthly plans and no per-token metering: Start at $15 per month includes 300 answered queries and crawls up to 300 pages, and Pro at $39 per month includes 1,500 answered queries and crawls up to 3,000 pages. Both plans include the same core — cited AI answers, the embeddable widget, 8 languages including right-to-left Hebrew and Arabic, usage stats, and the fully managed crawler and index — so there is no OpenAI or LLM key to buy and no token bill to forecast. Annual billing is cheaper at $144 or $374 per year. If you exceed your included queries, overage is capped, not open-ended: a block of 1000 extra queries costs $20, about $0.02 each.

How much does Achla AI cost?
Achla AI costs a flat $15 per month on the Start plan or $39 per month on the Pro plan, with no usage-based surprises. Start includes 300 answered visitor queries a month and crawls up to 300 pages; Pro includes 1,500 answered queries and crawls up to 3,000 pages. Both tiers ship the identical core feature set — cited AI answers grounded in your own content, the one-line embeddable widget, answers in 8 languages including RTL, live usage statistics, and the managed crawler and search index. There is nothing extra to license and no model key to obtain. Choosing between them is about volume, not features: pick Start for a small site or a light-traffic help centre, and Pro for a larger site or heavier visitor demand. Annual billing lowers the price to $144 or $374 per year.
What counts as a query?
A query is one visitor question that Achla answers — a single ask, met with a single cited reply. Your monthly allowance counts those answered questions and nothing else. Crucially, crawling and indexing your pages is included and not metered: whether Achla reads 30 pages or 300, that work does not draw down your query balance, so growing or re-indexing your site never costs you answers. The Start plan includes 300 answered queries a month and Pro includes 1,500, refreshed each billing period. This is deliberately simple to reason about — you are billed for the value visitors receive (answers), not for background infrastructure. There are no separate charges for embeddings, model calls, or storage; those are all part of the flat plan price, which is why the invoice stays the same month to month.
What happens if I go over my plan?
If you use all your included queries in a period, overage is capped, never open-ended. Beyond the included volume you buy a block of 1000 extra answered queries for $20, which works out to roughly $0.02 per query. You are never silently charged an unbounded amount, and there is no per-token meter running in the background that could produce a shock bill. This is the core difference from bring-your-own-model tools, where a traffic spike can translate directly into an unpredictable API charge. With Achla the worst case is bounded and easy to model: your flat plan price plus whole blocks of overage at a fixed rate. If your traffic has grown consistently, moving from Start to Pro — or leaning on annual billing at $144 or $374 — is usually cheaper than repeatedly buying overage blocks.
Do I need my own OpenAI key?
No. Achla is fully managed, so there is no OpenAI or LLM key to obtain, store, or top up, and no per-token metering to monitor. The crawl, the index, the model calls, and the billing are all handled for you and folded into the flat plan price. This is the practical advantage over do-it-yourself AI-search tools that ask you to connect your own model key: with those, every answer draws metered tokens you have to forecast, and a busy month can mean a bill you did not plan for. Achla replaces that with a single predictable invoice — $15 or $39 per month — regardless of how the model is priced underneath. You get cited answers grounded in your content without touching an API dashboard, managing keys, or reconciling token usage against your budget.
Can I pay annually, switch plans, or cancel?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month or annual, and annual billing is cheaper: $144 per year for Start or $374 per year for Pro, instead of paying the monthly rate twelve times. You can switch between Start and Pro as your traffic changes — move up to Pro when you need more queries and pages, or down to Start when a lighter plan fits. Billing, plan changes, and your usage against the current period are all managed from the dashboard, so you can see where you stand before a renewal. Both plans include the same features, so switching is purely about volume and price, never about losing a capability. There is no long-term lock-in beyond the term you choose, and you manage the subscription yourself from the dashboard at any time.
