How Ciela bills you.

Ciela has two meters that scale together. AI credits cover operator-directed AI research and enrichment. Your personalized-demo allowance is the plan capacity for the live prospect demos you build. Starter includes 10,000 AI credits and 30 personalized demos a month. Demo generation, prospect demo chat, and prospect demo voice run under the demo allowance and are not billed to AI credits. Both meters reset every billing cycle and don't roll over. Need more volume? Add a monthly demo-volume plan from Add-ons and your AI credits scale up with it, at the same multiple.

What burns AI credits

AI credits cover operator-directed AI only: the research and enrichment Ciela does while building a prospect's demo. Prospect demo generation, demo chat, and demo voice are not billed to AI credits, they run on your separate demo allowance.

Your personalized-demo allowance

A personalized demo is one unique prospect demo page (one prospect or company) per month. Demo generation, prospect demo chat, and prospect demo voice are all included under your demo allowance and never billed to AI credits. Starter includes 30 demos a month. Need more? Change your monthly Ciela plan: Operator: 30 demos/month for $49/month, Growth: 150 demos/month for $199/month, Scale: 350 demos/month for $399/month, Enterprise (custom volume, contact sales).

When the meters reset

Both AI credits and your demo allowance reset every billing cycle and do not roll over: use them or lose them. Need more demo volume before the reset? Add a demo-volume plan and the higher allowance applies right away.

Managing your plan

Everything lives on the Plan & Billing page: add or change a monthly demo-volume plan, update the card on file, and manage access. Upgrades apply right away with a prorated charge. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal. A Ciela renewal can be canceled under Manage access. Client Accelerator is a prepaid one-time purchase and does not renew automatically; contact support if you want to end that access early.

Client Accelerator carries the First Client Support Guarantee, built around one active 90-day work period. Create and publish one personalized demo for a new business every calendar day. This is the minimum guarantee requirement, not the recommended ceiling. Complete it and still not land a qualifying paying client, and you choose another 90 days of first-client coaching and Ciela software access at no cost or a refund of the price you actually paid for Client Accelerator. Choosing one forfeits the other. There is no second work period required before the refund is available. Submit the claim form in your Client Accelerator workspace during Days 91–120. If you cannot access the workspace, email support@ciela.ai. Full terms, the requirements, and the paying-client definition are on the Refund Policy page.

Canceling a Ciela renewal stops future charges while preserving access through the billing period already paid for. Ending prepaid Client Accelerator access early does not create a prorated refund except where required by law. The public policy lives at Refund Policy.
