Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to use ChatOSS?
No. Local Ollama models are free forever and never leave your machine — download the app and go. An account is only needed to run cloud models or use BYOK.
Which models can I run?
Every model you have in Ollama runs locally for free. Cloud plans include all ChatOSS cloud models. With BYOK you connect your own API keys from Ollama Cloud, OpenRouter.ai, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible provider.
What is BYOK?
BYOK (bring your own key) lets you connect your own API keys from Ollama Cloud, OpenRouter.ai, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible provider and run them inside ChatOSS. You pay your provider directly — ChatOSS never bills you for BYOK usage. BYOK is included with every cloud plan, or available on its own for $39/yr (or $79 once for a lifetime unlock on up to 3 devices).
What's the 10% fee?
On cloud plans we keep a flat 10%: $18 of a $20 Plus plan and $90 of a $100 Max plan go to model usage. Extra-usage top-ups carry the same 10%. We route to the fastest providers on OpenRouter.ai so your requests are served quickly.
What's the difference between the plans?
Plus and Max include all cloud models — Max simply includes 5x the cloud usage ($100/m vs $20/m). BYOK plans skip ChatOSS cloud usage entirely: you bring your own API keys and pay your provider directly.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cloud plans are month-to-month (BYOK Yearly is year-to-year) and you keep unlimited local usage even without a subscription.
All plans include unlimited local Ollama usage.
