Pricing questions
Straight answers — no hedging.

Is this really one-time? No gotchas?

Yes. You pay once. The app is yours. Minor updates are free. A future major version may be a separate purchase — but your current version keeps working regardless, forever.

What hosting do I need for Pro/Business?

A basic VPS — DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, or similar — running Nginx. Costs $6–12/month, paid directly to the hosting provider. Our Setup Guide walks you through it in under an hour.

What happens to my data if I stop using Kola?

Your data stays on your server. Export to CSV anytime. Cloud Backup data is downloadable on cancellation. You're never locked in.

Do you offer a free trial?

Not yet — we're in early access. We stand behind the product with a satisfaction guarantee. If Kola isn't right for your team, reach out within 30 days and we'll work it out.

How does Cloud Backup work?

Kola encrypts a snapshot of your CRM data and stores it off-site. $49/year, any tier. Cancel anytime — your app and data remain fully intact. It's optional insurance, not a dependency.

How does the AI work? Is there an extra cost?

Ask Kola uses your own API key (Anthropic or OpenAI). You pay the provider directly — usually cents per session. Kola charges nothing for AI. This also means your data never touches our servers for AI queries.

Can I upgrade tiers later?

Yes. Pay the difference between tiers at any time. Your data and settings carry forward — no migration needed.

Do you offer White Glove Setup?

Yes — $97 one-time. We configure your server, install Kola, import your existing contacts, and walk you through the app. See service terms →
