Plans and limits

Ernest has one free plan and three paid plans.

The free plan

The free plan gives you 100 conversations. This is a total, not a monthly number. The count does not go back to zero each month. The free plan does not stop after a period of time.

The free plan gives you one knowledge source. You do not give a payment card.

The paid plans

PlanEach monthKnowledge sources
Starter500 conversations10
Growth2000 conversations50
Scale10000 conversationsno limit

The count of conversations goes back to zero each month on the paid plans.

What the paid plans add

The paid plans add these functions:

  • a simulation, to test the answers before your customers see them
  • a file upload, as a knowledge source
  • a change to the colours and the logo of the chat widget

The Growth plan and the Scale plan connect up to three tool servers.

When you reach the limit

Ernest stops new conversations when you reach the limit. Ernest completes a conversation that is open.
