Pricing
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
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.
Free AGPL-3.0, forever
The whole product, on your infrastructure.
from $12 per user / mo, billed annually
SSO, governance and support — on your infrastructure.
Annual flat, not per-seat
AGPL relief, when you don’t need Enterprise.
How it maps
| tela Cloud — we run it, AI included | Self-hosted — you run it, bring your own AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Community (free) |
| Individual / team | Personal · Team | — use Community |
| Enterprise layer | Cloud Enterprise | Enterprise (license key) |
“Enterprise” means the same feature layer in both columns — bought bundled on cloud, or as a license key on self-host.

Self-host questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
