How much does Koala AI cost in 2026?

Nine self-serve plans, priced month to month: Essentials $9, Professional $49, Boost $99, Growth $179, Elite $350, Advanced $500, Scale I $750, Scale II $1,250, and Scale III $2,000. Annual billing takes 20% off every one of them, so Essentials becomes $7 a month and Professional $39.

Are the advertised prices monthly or yearly billing?

The headline prices are the month-to-month rates, which is the opposite of how most SEO tools advertise. Switching to annual takes 20% off and drops a full year of credits into the account at once. Monthly credits expire at the end of each month; annual credits last the full year.

How many articles is 100,000 words?

About 50, using Koala AI's own numbers. Their help center puts a section at roughly 400 words and sets the Medium article length at 5 to 7 sections, so a normal article runs about 2,000 to 2,800 words. That makes Essentials at 15,000 words about 7 articles a month and Professional at 100,000 words about 50. Choosing a premium model counts that article's words at double, halving the counts.

Are AI-written articles included in the plans?

Yes. The word allowance is the article allowance, so there is no separate per-article charge. Images are metered on the other side of the plan: each KoalaImages generation costs one KoalaChat credit, and API calls and Google Sheets formulas draw from that same chat allowance.

Does Koala AI have a free trial?

Yes, and it needs no card. Registering an account grants 5,000 words and 25 chat messages to try KoalaWriter and KoalaChat. Paid plans also carry a 15-day refund window, as long as you have used under 15,000 words and 100 chat messages.

How does Growth Calendar price the same work?

In finished articles per month rather than words. Each plan covers the research, planning, writing, images, and screenshots for a set number of articles, so the cost per published article is fixed before you start and does not move when a draft runs long. Current prices are in the plans above.
