PRICING
Free to start with every premium model open during the launch. Pay only when you need more chats, bigger projects, or the Ultra-tier MCP server and personal RAG library.
Council AI has four plans. Free ($0) gives you every premium model during the launch promo so you can actually compare them — up to 3 models per chat, small monthly budget. Starter ($4.99/mo) adds persistent AI memory and higher daily limits. Pro ($59.99/mo) is the daily-driver plan: up to 10 models per chat, 12× Starter's budget, 5 project workspaces, priority support. Ultra ($199.99/mo) unlocks the two features nothing else on the market combines — a personal RAG library where every model can read your own PDFs and Word docs, and a hosted MCP server that exposes the entire council inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code. All plans use monthly budget caps (not per-message metering), so you never get a surprise bill. Cancel anytime.
Try every model on us during the launch promo. No card required.
Move up from Free. AI memory and higher daily limits.
For daily heavy use. Bigger budget, more projects, priority support.
Personal RAG library + MCP server. Chat with your PDFs across every model, and invoke the council from inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code.
Annual plans save roughly 17% vs. monthly. Toggle the billing cadence on the live pricing page; we'll prorate any in-flight monthly subscription if you switch.
If something is genuinely wrong, email billing@council-ai.app within 14 days and we'll make it right. Otherwise plans renew automatically and you can cancel from Settings at any time.
The Free plan is the trial. During the current launch promo every premium model (Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok 4.3, DeepSeek V4) is open on Free — you can run the council and decide whether the workflow is worth paying for before adding a card.
All paid plans are billed monthly (or annually with ~17% off). Cancel from Settings at any time; access continues through the end of the current period. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately with prorated adjustments.
Ultra adds two things Pro doesn't have: a personal RAG library (upload your PDFs, Word docs, notes — every model in the council reads from them) and a hosted MCP server that exposes the council as native tools inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code. Ultra also gets ~3× Pro's monthly budget and the priority queue under load.
No. Each plan has a fixed monthly budget cap. When you hit it, Council switches to budget-friendly models for the rest of the month instead of charging more. You can upgrade mid-cycle if you need more headroom.
No. Council is fully managed — we hold the relationships with every provider and you talk to one product. BYOK is not supported on user accounts because the value of Council is the cross-lab synthesis layer, which works better when we manage rate limits and routing.
Yes. From Settings → Subscription, hit Cancel. You keep access through the end of the current period and we don't ask for a reason.
