# AI allowance per plan, and using your own key

> Each plan includes 100, 500 or 2,000 AI questions a month on ARUKZ's key, or no limit from ARUKZ with your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. MCP is on every plan.

Each plan includes a monthly number of AI questions answered on ARUKZ's own AI key: **100 on Starter, 500 on Professional and 2,000 on Enterprise**, with the trial getting the Starter allowance. If you need more, or want your data to go under your own contract with the AI provider, a company admin can add your own **Anthropic (Claude)** or **OpenAI (ChatGPT)** key, and ARUKZ then sets no limit. Connecting ChatGPT or Claude over [MCP](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/ai/mcp.md) is included on every plan and does not use the allowance. Plan prices do not change.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The per-plan allowance and the own-key option were approved on 12 November 2026 and are being rolled out; they may not be live on your workspace yet. Until they are, each company has one monthly limit set by ARUKZ, the assistant runs on ARUKZ's Anthropic key, and **AI settings** only has the **Switch AI on** and **Switch AI off** buttons.

## The allowance

| Plan | Price a month (plus GST) | AI questions a month on ARUKZ's key | With your own key | Connect ChatGPT or Claude (MCP) |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| Starter | ₹5,999 | 100 | No limit from ARUKZ | Yes |
| Professional | ₹15,999 | 500 | No limit from ARUKZ | Yes |
| Enterprise | ₹39,999 | 2,000 | No limit from ARUKZ | Yes |

**What counts as one question:** one question to Ask AI, or one supplier bill read, however many lookups the AI makes to answer it. The count resets on the first of each month. The assistant and the AI settings page show how many are used, for example "37 of 100 AI questions used this month (resets 1 Dec)".

When the allowance is used up, the assistant says how many were used and offers two ways on: add your own key, or move to a bigger plan.

## Use your own key

**1. Open AI and insights → AI settings**

Only company admins can open it.

**2. Choose My own key**

Pick the provider, **Anthropic** or **OpenAI**, and paste the key. A default model is filled in; change it if you want another model from that provider.

**3. Click Check key**

ARUKZ ERP makes one tiny call with the key. A key that fails the check is not saved.

**4. Ask away**

The usage line now says "Own key: no limit from ARUKZ". Your provider bills you directly for what you use; set a spending cap in your provider's own dashboard if you want one.

To go back to the included allowance, click **Remove key**.

## How your key is kept

* It is stored encrypted, and is never shown again after you save it; the page shows only its last four characters.
* It never appears in logs, in the [audit trail](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/audit-and-edit-log.md) (which records only "AI key changed"), in API responses or in the [export of all data](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/export-data.md).
* Only your company's admins can set or remove it. ARUKZ staff can see whether a key is set, not the key.

## What changes for your data

With ARUKZ's key, your questions, the figures needed to answer them and uploaded bills go to Anthropic under ARUKZ's account. With your own key, they go to the provider you chose under **your** account and its terms. Either way the AI only reads; it cannot post, pay or change anything.

## Not in this round

Buying extra questions online, other providers such as Gemini or a local model, and a spending cap set inside ARUKZ ERP.
