Plans & Billing
SudoDocs has three plans - Free (Basic), Pro, and Enterprise - with Pro and Enterprise available monthly or annually. This page covers what each plan includes. For current prices, see the pricing table on sudodocs.com, which is the single authoritative source for plan prices.

What AI Actions Cost
Each AI action uses credits. A failed action gives its credits back.
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| DocOps Assistant question (Discuss) | 2 (3 with an attached image or video) |
| DocOps Assistant draft (Author, Rewrite, Release Note - written, then checked by SudoDocs' Editor) | 5 (6 with an attachment) |
| Author a Feature draft | 20 |
| Docflows suggestion from a pull request or Jira ticket | 20 |
| Request changes on a Docflows suggestion, or mentioning SudoDocs on a docs pull request | 8 |
| Sync Latest Code | 5, or 8 when the Editor reviews an update |
| Release Composer draft / adding new items to it | 10 / 5 |
| Universal Converter reference page | 5 per 25,000 characters of the spec or values file (at least 5) |
| API Readiness AI fix | 5 per 15,000 characters of the spec (at least 5) |
| API Readiness content audit | 3 |
| Repository sync | Free when nothing changed, 1 per 10 changed files, up to 20 - see What a Sync Costs |
The Converter and the AI fix are priced by size because the AI reads the whole file and writes output that grows with it - a typical 60,000-character spec costs 15 to convert and 20 to fix. Capture and screenshots have their own costs, listed on their pages.
Free Trial and the Basic Tier
Every new organization starts with a 14-day trial with no credit card required. After 14 days, the organization moves automatically to the permanent free Basic tier - it doesn't expire and nothing is deleted. Basic keeps the same feature set but is limited to a single admin seat, so inviting writers requires upgrading to Pro.
SSO, BYOK and the CLI are Enterprise-only and aren't included in the trial.
Annual Billing
Pro and Enterprise can both be billed annually instead of monthly, at a discount equivalent to two months free. Pro Annual gives the same seats and features as Pro, with AI credits granted as a 6,000-credit yearly bucket instead of 500 per month.
Add-ons
Organizations on Pro, Pro Annual or Enterprise can buy add-ons from the Admin Dashboard (Organization tab):
- Seats: one additional user seat per add-on, billed monthly. See Users.
- Credit packs: 250 additional AI credits per month, billed monthly.
The Free tier can't buy add-ons - upgrade to Pro first. On Enterprise, seats can be added beyond the included 25, up to 100 in total; for more, contact us. Credit packs add to Enterprise's 2,000 monthly credits until you connect your own LLM key - after that, credits are unlimited and credit packs aren't offered.
