Chai Pricing: Web Pro, CHAI MAX and App Store Costs Explained

Chai's web pricing lists Chai Pro at $159.99/year after an advertised 24-hour $0 trial, or $9.99/week. CHAI MAX is an additional purchase for Pro subscribers, not a replacement subscription. The official FAQ calls web and app “separate platforms”: Apple app prices below are not web or Android quotes.

Sources checked 2026-10-24. This guide uses the supplied dated official-source packet, not hands-on testing, checkout inspection or a conversation-quality ranking. Apple prices come from cached or indexed official listings; current checkout availability remains unverified. “Not publicly stated” means the reviewed official text supplies no value, not that a product is unavailable. Amounts retain their stated storefront symbols and periods; no currency conversion or monthly equivalent is calculated.

Web: Chai Pro and CHAI MAX prices

Sources: Web pricing and official FAQ. The web page displays $, but a currency code and regional price schedule are not publicly stated. A monthly Pro price is not publicly stated. Duration and eligibility for the weekly discount are not publicly stated; the reference price is not presented here as a verified ordinary renewal charge.

The web terms, section 13.4 describe image and video packages as yearly subscriptions without publishing package subscription prices in the retrieved text. Excess generation charges are $0.12/image and $0.22/video. These are excess-generation rates, not the yearly package prices.

App Store: cached and indexed regional prices

Evidence status: the supplied research retrieved US and UK official pages marked crawled three weeks ago and last week, respectively. South Korean and Papua New Guinea entries came from indexed official results. These are published listing values with limited currentness, not verified currently purchasable offers.

Sources: US App Store, UK App Store, South Korean indexed listing and Papua New Guinea indexed listing.

The indexed Papua New Guinea page also names Premium Yearly, Premium Weekly, Ultra Yearly and Ultra Weekely (the last spelling is preserved). The supplied packet does not give amounts for these additional labels. Matching prices do not establish that Ruby replaces Premium or Diamond replaces Ultra. Naming equivalence, transition dates and eligibility for duplicate prices are not publicly stated.

The overlapping UK annual Premium and monthly Ultra amounts appear together; their reason is not publicly stated. They do not establish a dated price increase. The separately named Korean Premium Annual item is kept separate rather than silently substituted for Premium Subscription's annual amount. No period is inferred for Premium Membership.

Google Play and platform differences

Sources: Google Play, US App Store and official FAQ. Keep the FAQ's separate-platform distinction: web Pro/MAX benefits cannot be assigned to app Premium/Ultra/Ruby/Diamond from names or prices alone.

Free access, Pro benefits and MAX limits

The About page advertises free web access to get started. Apple labels the download free, and Google Play says character creation is open to everyone. These descriptions do not establish unlimited free messages. Numerical free-message allowances, reset intervals, ad frequency and free-tier model allocation are not publicly stated in the reviewed descriptions.

Sources: Web pricing and official FAQ. These web claims do not supply an app-tier feature matrix or a tested free-message quota.

What to confirm before paying

Check the official pricing or store for the platform and country you intend to use. Record the exact product label, currency, stated billing period, current amount and any add-on separately. Confirm whether an Apple item is currently purchasable, whether an advertised web offer applies, and which benefits belong to that platform. Do not use a cached Apple amount as a current checkout quote, substitute it for an Android price, infer a period for Premium Membership, or treat MAX as including the underlying Pro subscription.
