Prices above are in US dollars. Personal Cloud prices include tax. Business plan prices do not: tax is added at checkout where it applies. Payment is taken on a secure page run by Stripe, our payment provider; we never see your card. Plan limits may still be adjusted before plans open.

What is a passage?
Étoiles splits each document into passages: short sections of about a paragraph or two, each searched and cited on its own. Plans count passages because that is what search holds in memory. A printed page is about 2.3 passages, so the page counts above are estimates. Your account shows how many passages you have used.
Personal Cloud or Business?
Personal Cloud is for one person. It runs on demand: it wakes when you sign in, so the first search after a quiet spell can take a moment. Business plans are for teams and are always on. Invite people by email; give Readers search and answers only. Read more about a team knowledge base.
How sign-up works
- Create your account. Confirm your email, choose a password and set up a second sign-in step with an authenticator app.
- Choose your plan and pay. Cancel any time from your account. If you are not happy, ask for a full refund within 7 days of your first payment (see refunds).
- Your workspace is set up for you automatically after payment. Your account shows its status; add documents (PDF, plain text and Markdown today) and ask questions once it is ready. If it is not ready when you expect, write to [email protected] from your account email.
Isolation and hardware
Isolation means your workspace’s data is encrypted and kept separate from other customers’ workspaces. Hardware is a separate question: all plans are set up automatically, and Plus has more throughput and capacity. If you need something specific or custom, write to us. We do not yet publish setup times.
Privacy
Your documents are encrypted at rest and used only to run your workspace. We do not use your content to train AI models. Cloud is not zero-knowledge: documents are processed in memory to search and write answers. Étoiles does not store your questions, but they are sent to our answer and embedding providers to produce the answer; the privacy policy describes them. See the privacy policy and the terms of service.
