## Questions & answers

### What is included in Free?

Every Ara feature is available on Free. Your first workspace starts with a one-time $10 Ara-hosted inference balance. When it is spent, subscribe to Ara for more inference.

### How does Ara Pro work?

Ara Pro gives you more Ara-hosted inference and lets you use the paid models and subscriptions you already prefer. Choose the plan that fits your workload.

### What happens after the $10 free balance?

Subscribe to Ara for $20, $60, or $200 per month for more inference. Pro and above can also connect your own paid API key or subscription, which is billed directly by the connected provider.

### Can we bring our own subscriptions and APIs?

Yes. On Pro, Pro+, or Ultra, connect the paid subscriptions and APIs your team already prefers, and use Ara alongside them.

### Is there a startup grant?

Yes. Current and alumni YC companies can redeem $25,000 in Ara credits through Bookface. Visit our YC page to learn more.

### What is support like?

All Ara users are encouraged to join our Discord, where we provide first-class support.

### How do teams work?

Teams of 10–20 stay on the $20 offer while the shared machines have capacity. A higher plan is a capacity upgrade, never a per-seat tax.

### Can we start free and upgrade later?

Yes. Start with $10 of Ara-hosted model use, then choose the $20, $60, or $200 offer when you need more Ara-managed capacity.
