Add-ons, done honestly

Every feature's included. Add-ons only cover what costs us to run.

The rest of Kelpie is software we built once, so it's one price however much you use it. AI is different — it runs on compute we pay for every time — so a generous amount is built in, and heavy users can opt into more.

In every plan

AI, built in

  • 5 hours of AI meeting notes — per person, each month
  • 20 AI receipt & bill scans — per person, each month

Enough for most crews. No add-on needed.

AI Suite · optional
+$12/ user / mo · or $120 / yr

10× the AI, for the heavy users

  • 50 hours of AI meeting notes — per person, each month
  • 200 AI receipt & bill scans — per person, each month

Turn it on, off, or skip it — the rest of Kelpie never changes.

No nickel-and-diming

The bits other apps make you pay extra for.

Online payments, reminders, timesheets, reporting, the stuff that should just be in the app. Most tools hide them behind add-ons, higher tiers or per-feature fees. With Kelpie, they're in. Every one.

Pricing questions

Money questions, straight answers.

One plan: $37 per user per month, or $370 per user per year — that's two months free. Every seat gets every feature, AI tools included. There's no cut-down starter tier and no premium tier above it. The only things that ever cost extra are optional add-ons for the parts with a real running cost — today that's the AI Suite (+$12 per user per month) for heavy AI use.

Yes. Quoting, jobs, scheduling, invoicing, payment reminders, timesheets, reporting, even the AI tools — it's all in the one subscription, with nothing locked behind a higher tier. The only things that ever cost extra are a few parts with a real running cost, like AI compute — offered as optional add-ons (today, the AI Suite) rather than baked into everyone's price. Every feature is included; we only pass on that running cost.

Every Kelpie plan already includes AI — 5 hours of AI meeting notes and 20 receipt and bill scans per person each month, which is plenty for most crews. Unlike the rest of the app, AI runs on compute we pay for every time you use it, so rather than bake that cost into everyone's price we keep the base plan honest and let heavy users add the AI Suite: +$12 per user per month (or $120 a year) for 50 hours of meeting notes and 200 scans per person each month. Add it, drop it, or skip it anytime — nothing else about your plan changes.

Not on your actual work. Send as many quotes, run as many jobs and raise as many invoices as you can win — some trade apps cap that and charge you to go over, but Kelpie never meters the business you do. The only usage with a monthly allowance is AI (meeting-note hours and document scans), because it runs on compute we pay for — and even that is generous on the base plan and expandable with the AI Suite.

Nope. The 30-day free trial is completely free and needs no card. You only add billing details if you decide to stick around after the trial.

We'll give you a heads-up before it's up. Pick a plan to keep going, or do nothing, we never auto-charge a card you never entered. Your data sits safe either way.

Yes. Add a seat when you take someone on, drop it when the season slows down. You only ever pay for the people in your workspace.

Never. Pay monthly or annually, cancel any time, and take your data with you. We'd rather earn your subscription each month than trap you in a contract.

Yes. All prices are in AUD and shown ex GST, and your invoice from us is GST-itemised for your own books.
