ChatNGO is offered completely free of charge to nonprofit organizations. There are no monthly subscription fees, no user fees, and no additional charges from ChatNGO. This enables nonprofits to leverage AI tools without financial barriers directly through our platform.
However, to access AI functionality within ChatNGO, your organization will need to set up API keys from third-party AI providers such as OpenAI (for GPT models) or Anthropic (for Claude models). Here is a breakdown of what to expect regarding costs and responsibilities:
Nonprofits are responsible for covering the cost of AI usage directly with the chosen AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
Each provider has its own pricing structure for different models. For example, GPT-4 and Claude models have varying rates depending on their capabilities and token usage.
We recommend that you carefully review the usage fees for each model and provider. Setting up usage limits with each provider is advised to manage and control your budget.
While the costs will vary based on usage and selected models, we generally recommend budgeting around $5 per user per month. This estimate provides a guideline but may differ depending on how often and intensively users interact with the AI models.
For detailed instructions on how to create and link an API key, please refer to our documentation on Creating an API Key. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to connect your workspace to these AI services, enabling your team to access AI-powered features on ChatNGO.
Each model’s usage can add up quickly depending on the volume of interactions. To avoid unexpected costs, regularly monitor your usage and set limits as necessary through your chosen AI provider’s dashboard.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic provide options to control and monitor API usage, allowing you to set a cap on expenses. We recommend reviewing these tools to help manage costs effectively.
By covering only the direct AI usage costs with third-party providers, ChatNGO provides a cost-effective solution for nonprofits, ensuring they can access the latest in AI technology without incurring platform fees.
