# Models, pricing, local vs hosted

Chats and indexes stay on disk. Agent runs use Claude through the Dola backend, on AI credits from your monthly plan.

Last updated 10 October 2026

## [What stays on your machine](#local)

Chat history, project indexes, the Unreal bridge, and the Babylon modeling scene store are designed to live on disk locally. The desktop app talks to your open editor on your own machine. We do not host your .uproject.

## [What is hosted](#hosted)

Sign-in and agent runs go through dolaai.pro. Dola runs Claude only, through the Dola backend.

The account database is not a chat store. Usage totals come back so monthly included credits and extras can be enforced. The model provider still receives the prompt. Who receives what: [privacy policy](https://dolaai.pro/privacy).

## [Free to start, credits to run agents](#own-api-key)

Downloading the Dola app and creating an account are free. Running agents uses AI credits on your Dola account. The paid plans include a monthly amount of credits, and [the plans and credits page](https://dolaai.pro/docs/plans-and-credits#lineup) lists them.

## [Plans and credits](#credits)

Paid plans include AI credits each paid month. Indie, Pro, Pro+, and Max differ by included credit amount after payment — not by a separate feature list. Unused included credits reset on renewal. Extra purchased credits persist until used.
