Can I switch plans?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from your Billing settings.
How do AI credits work?
Paid plans include a monthly AI credit balance. AI usage is charged at cost, using the same rates Zo pays its underlying model providers. If your credits run out, you can top up manually or allow overage charges to your payment method on file.
Can I use my own AI provider?
Yes. All paid plans support bringing your own API keys, so you can use any AI model from any inference provider. Free plan users have access to Zo's built-in free models.
What is the Zo MCP Server?
The Zo MCP Server lets you connect external AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex, and others) to your Zo, giving them access to your files, connected apps, and Zo's full tool suite. It's available on all plans, free and paid.
What happens to my data if I downgrade?
Your files and data are preserved. If you downgrade to Free, your computer will begin sleeping when idle and your hosted services beyond the free limit will stop running until you reduce them or upgrade again.
Is my data private?
Your workspace, files, and AI conversations live on your own personal server. Zo uses non-proprietary file formats and open-source technologies for its core components. Your data is yours.
What support is available?
Free and Basic plans include community support via Discord and documentation. Pro and Ultra plans include priority support with faster response times, plus community channels.
Does the free plan expire?
No. Zo's free plan never expires. You get 100GB of storage and access to AI chat for as long as you want.
