Cloud AI add-on
Cloud AI is a separate add-on to a paid Alhora plan. It provides cloud-assisted checking and conversational Inkia. You approve changes to your book. Read our AI principles.
Local Inkia and Cloud AI
Local Inkia guides and commands are free and do not require Cloud AI. Conversational planning through Alhora Cloud requires an active AI tier and service availability. Cloud conversation and light actions use no credits; credits are for the cloud Editorial deep-read.

Publisher plans
One subscription for your whole press. Every seat gets the full Alhora app — the same entitlement as an individual plan, export included — and your imprint on every ARC and publish checklist. Cloud AI plans are personal to each member and separate from publisher seats; they require service availability.
billed as £24.99
5 seats for a small press — about $7.00 each per month.
- 5 seats, each with the full Alhora app — unlimited clean exports
- White-label — your press name on ARCs and publish-package colophons
- Owner dashboard — invite, manage and reassign seats
- Hosted ARC links for the whole team
- Cloud AI is separate from seats and subject to service availability
billed as £39.99
10 seats for a growing press — about $5.50 each per month.
- Everything in Publisher 5, with 10 seats
- Best per-seat value — the lowest cost per author
- White-label imprint across every title your press produces
Every seat is fully entitled, so each member can export without a separate plan of their own. Cloud AI credits are per member, with service availability separate from the credit allowance, and your press name is passed to exports as an optional label. Need more than 10 seats? Talk to us.
