Keyda Pricing Explained: Lite vs Pro vs the Free Trial

Keyda keeps its pricing simple on purpose: two paid plans, one free trial, and no confusing add-ons. But "simple" still means you should know what you are paying for before you subscribe, especially since Keyda mixes cloud AI quotas with unlimited on-device and BYOK usage.

Here is a plain-English breakdown of the Lite plan, the Pro plan and the free trial, so you can pick the plan that matches how much you actually type with AI.

The short version

Start with the 3-day free trial to see how Keyda's AI keyboard feels in your daily apps. Move to Lite if you use AI help a few times a day for everyday writing. Move to Pro if you use AI heavily, want frontier cloud models, or run longer, more complex requests.

If you already have your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq or xAI key, both plans let you bring it and use it without a daily cap.

The free trial

Every new user gets a 3-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial unlocks Pro-level features but caps usage at 10 AI calls, which is enough to test rewrites, voice typing, tone changes and a note or two before deciding whether to subscribe.

Because the trial does not require payment details upfront, it is a low-friction way to try Keyda across a few different apps before committing.

Lite plan: ₹199/month

The Lite plan is built for everyday writing help. It includes:

• 200 cloud AI requests per day, covering rewrites, replies, translation, summaries and more.
• Unlimited on-device model usage, since local processing does not count against the daily quota.
• Unlimited BYOK usage if you connect your own provider key.
• Core keyboard features: notes, snippets, themes, voice typing and the AI assistant.
• Output capped at up to 4,096 tokens per response.

Lite is a good fit if you type with AI help a handful of times through the day rather than constantly, and if you are comfortable using Keyda's managed cloud models for most requests.

Pro plan: ₹499/month or ₹2,999/year

The Pro plan is built for heavier, more demanding use. It includes:

• 1,000 cloud AI requests per day, five times the Lite quota.
• A 500,000 token daily cap, which matters for longer documents, multi-turn AI chats or detailed rewrites.
• Access to auto-upgraded frontier models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and Groq, so you are not stuck on older model versions as providers release new ones.
• Everything included in Lite: on-device models, BYOK, notes, voice typing and themes.
• The annual plan works out to roughly 50% cheaper than paying monthly.

Pro is the better choice if you use Keyda for long-form writing, research-heavy replies, or if you simply run out of Lite's daily quota on a regular basis.

Lite vs Pro at a glance

Feature	Lite	Pro
Price	₹199/month	₹499/month or ₹2,999/year
Cloud AI requests per day	200	1,000
Daily token cap	Unlimited	500,000
Output tokens per response	Up to 4,096	Up to 2,048
Frontier model access	Standard models	Auto-upgraded frontier models
On-device models	Unlimited	Unlimited
BYOK usage	Unlimited	Unlimited

Both plans reset their daily cloud quota at 00:00 IST, so a heavy day does not carry a penalty into the next one.

Where BYOK fits into the price

If you bring your own provider key, Keyda does not add a markup or take a cut of that usage. You pay your Keyda subscription for the app, notes, on-device models and workflow, and you pay your AI provider directly for whatever BYOK usage you send through your key. This is worth knowing if you already have a Claude, GPT or Gemini subscription and want to route through it instead of Keyda's managed pool.

How to choose between Lite and Pro

Ask yourself three questions:

1. How many AI requests do you realistically send per day?

Occasional smart replies and short rewrites usually stay well under 200 requests. Frequent long-form writing, research summaries or multi-message AI chats can approach or exceed that limit.

2. Do you need the newest frontier models?

If you want access to the latest model releases as soon as they roll out, Pro's auto-upgraded frontier access is the more future-proof option.

3. Do you write long documents through the keyboard?

Pro's 500,000 daily token cap is more forgiving for long documents, detailed rewrites or extended AI conversations than Lite's shorter response cap.

Cancelling or switching plans

Subscriptions purchased through the App Store or Google Play auto-renew until you cancel them from your phone's subscription settings. Purchases made directly on the web through Keyda's checkout never auto-renew. Refunds for store purchases are handled by Apple or Google; refunds for web purchases are handled directly by Keyda.

Final recommendation

Start with the free trial to feel out the keyboard in your daily apps. If AI becomes part of your everyday typing, Lite is the more affordable everyday plan. If you consistently hit the Lite quota or need frontier-model quality for longer writing, Pro is the plan built for that.

The right Keyda plan is the one that matches how often you actually reach for AI while typing, not the one with the biggest number attached.
