Pay for the work, not the guesswork.
Every plan includes managed AI and a monthly allowance. Optional overage and media generation use prepaid wallet funds with confirmation; BYOK usage is billed directly by your provider.
Founding beta. No discounts today — you pay full price to get in early. In return, every founding member locks in a permanent founder’s rate when Charles launches. Back it early, keep the reward for good.

Questions? Answered.
Managed AI means Charles hosts the model connection for you. You do not need to bring a provider key, and your plan includes a monthly allowance. Paid plans can continue with wallet overage that you control.
No — only the AI work you actually ask for. Charles's background work — quietly remembering your project, learning how you like to work, and keeping context sharp — runs on us and never touches your allowance. Your full plan is yours.
Pro and Max include monthly managed-token allowances. Usage beyond that allowance and paid image generation use prepaid wallet funds only after you approve the displayed charge. Charles never automatically tops up your wallet. Team pricing and usage terms are handled with us directly.
Yes. Bring Your Own Keys is available on Charles Pro and Charles Max. Team access is available through managed rollout with us.
Not during the founding beta — you join at full price, upfront. It's risk-free, though: there's a 7-day money-back guarantee, so if Charles isn't for you, email us within a week for a full refund, no questions asked. Founding members also lock in a permanent founder's rate when we launch.
Yes. Once you're approved for the beta you subscribe and are charged upfront. You can cancel anytime, and the 7-day money-back guarantee has you covered.
