Sila is free for anyone, for any use

Name: Sila
Author: Sila

It's fully open source, so the app is free. You can use it anywhere. No restrictions.

What you pay for

Sila itself costs nothing. You only pay for:

AI model usage: When you use AI models from providers like OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic
Local compute: If you run models locally (hardware and electricity costs)

You pay AI providers directly for inference (the model's compute).

You bring your own keys: OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or your own server (OpenAI‑compatible APIs)
Pay as you go: Providers bill for tokens (text), images, and audio minutes
Local models: With Ollama or similar, inference is free to use, but you pay with your hardware resources and electricity
