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.

Or run it yourself — free
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 — free.
tela is open source, and the whole product is free to self-host — unlimited people, on your own infrastructure, bringing your own AI. You only ever pay for the Enterprise layer: the identity, governance and support a company needs, unlocked by a license key. Everything below Enterprise is free to self-host, forever.
Community
Free AGPL-3.0, forever
The whole product, on your infrastructure.
- Full wiki, Atlas, search, agents, sheets, decks & sync
- Unlimited users, spaces & pages

- Organizations & per-space roles
- Self-supported, community help
Enterprise
Most popular$8 per seat / mo, billed annually
The identity, governance and support a company needs — the price of a Team seat, on your own servers, unlocked by a license key.
- Everything in Community
- SSO / SAML / OIDC, SCIM provisioning
- Audit log, advanced RBAC, retention
- Premium Atlas connectors (Slack, Drive, GitHub…)
- Priority support + SLA
Commercial license Can’t ship AGPL? A flat annual commercial license gives you the full open core under commercial terms — no copyleft obligation, no feature gating — for legal or compliance constraints, even if you never touch Enterprise. Contact us →
One product · two tiers · two ways to run it
| tela Cloud — we host it · AI included | Self-host — you host it · BYO AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Core the whole wiki + Atlas + AI | Free · Personal · Team | Community — free |
| Enterprise SSO · SCIM · audit · governance | Cloud Enterprise — let’s talk | $8 / seat · license key |
Cloud is priced on managed AI + seats; self-host is free because you bring your own AI and infra. Enterprise is the same feature layer either way — you just pick who runs it.

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.
Connect your wiki to Claude and ChatGPT.
