Pricing FAQ
The fine print, in plain English.
- What happens when the trial ends?
- Your workspace pauses and cadences stop running. Your sources, drafts, and brand profile stay put; pick a plan from settings whenever you're ready to resume generation.
- When should I pick BYOK over Solo?
- Most people should start on Solo — 100 drafts a month covers a typical week of LinkedIn posts and blog drafts with multi-variant headroom, and you can switch later from settings. BYOK is the cleaner fit if you want generation billed to your own OpenAI account (cost ownership, audit, existing credits) or if you regularly run heavy cadences past the Solo cap. Same product, your key.
- What counts as a draft?
- One row in the review inbox. If a cadence is set to produce 3 variants per run, that run uses 3 drafts from your monthly cap. Regenerating an existing draft doesn't count; you stay on the same row.
- Can I switch between plans?
- Yes, from the billing card in settings. Switching Solo → BYOK takes effect immediately; the next cadence run uses your key.
- Where is my OpenAI key stored?
- It's encrypted at rest and only decrypted in memory at the moment we generate a draft for you. It's never written to logs and never shown back to you in the UI.
- Refunds?
- Email hello@usekiln.app and we'll sort it. The first 14 days are the trial, so by the time you're paying you've had a fair look at the product.
