Pricing
Simple plans. Your markdown either way.
One ladder, the whole product on every tier — Atlas, semantic search, ask-your-docs, and the agent connector. Paid tiers raise your AI — how many sources Atlas keeps fresh and how many answers a month — and add team controls. Managed AI is included on every cloud plan.
Flagship
Atlas is on every plan — point it at a git repo or Jira project and it writes a cited, coverage-checked wiki and keeps it fresh. Paid tiers raise how much you can generate.

tela is open source (AGPL). Self-host the whole product — Atlas, search, agents, sync — and bring your own AI. Community is free forever; Enterprise adds SSO, audit and governance.
Self-host
Run it yourself.
Where it runs decides the AI; which edition decides the company-layer. Cloud is managed with AI included. Self-host is the whole product on your own infrastructure — you bring your own AI — and it’s free. Enterprise adds the identity, governance and support a company needs, on either side.
Community
Free AGPL-3.0, forever
The whole product, on your infrastructure.
- Full wiki, Atlas, search, agents, decks & sync
- Bring your own AI — any OpenAI-compatible LLM + embedder
- Organizations & per-space roles
- Self-supported, community help
Enterprise
Most popularfrom $12 per user / mo, billed annually
SSO, governance and support — on your infrastructure.
- Everything in Community

AGPL relief, when you don’t need Enterprise.

Self-host questions
Do I need to pay for AI on self-host?
No — self-host is bring-your-own-AI on every edition, Community and Enterprise. Point tela at any OpenAI-compatible LLM and an Ollama-compatible embedder; the inference is yours. Managed, included AI is what the cloud plans are for.
What’s the difference between Cloud Enterprise and self-host Enterprise?
Same feature layer — SSO, SCIM, audit, advanced roles, governance, support. On cloud it’s bundled into your subscription and we run it (with managed AI). On self-host it’s a license key on your own infrastructure, and you bring your own AI.
It’s AGPL — can’t I just remove the Enterprise features myself?
Enterprise lives in a separate, proprietary module that ships inert without a license key — it isn’t part of the open core. The open core (everything in Community) is genuinely yours under the AGPL; Enterprise is the part you license.
Why would I pay if Community is the whole product?
You don’t pay for the software — you pay for managed AI + zero-ops (cloud), or for SSO, governance and a support contract (Enterprise), or for relief from AGPL copyleft (commercial license). The wiki and the AI capability are never the paywall.
