Can I try before I buy?

Yes. Get started on the Free plan at no cost and explore Sola’s core features before upgrading.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes.

Upgrading: Your new plan is activated immediately and billing updates automatically.

Downgrading: Your current plan stays active until the end of your billing period. Refunds are not issued for unused time. The downgrade takes effect when the billing cycle ends.

What are AI credits?

AI credits measure your usage of Sola AI, including app generation, query generation, workflow steps, and conversational requests.

Each plan includes a weekly allowance of AI credits. When credits refresh, your AI features become fully available again.

What happens if I exceed my limits?

AI Credits: When you run out of weekly AI credits, AI-powered features become unavailable until your credits refresh. You can upgrade anytime to increase your allowance.

Data Sources: You cannot add more data sources than your plan allows. Upgrade to connect additional sources.

Daily Data Records: If you reach your daily data-record limit, processing pauses until midnight UTC. Upgrade for higher daily capacity.

Apps: You cannot create additional apps once you reach your plan limit. You can upgrade or archive existing apps to free up space.

Do unused AI credits roll over?

No. AI credits refresh weekly and do not roll over or accumulate. Each week you receive the full allowance included in your plan.

Can I add more users without upgrading?

No. User limits are fixed per workspace based on the plan. To add more users, upgrade to a higher tier or contact sales for Enterprise options.

What happens when I cancel?

Your workspace remains active until the end of your current billing period.

After the billing period ends:

• Your workspace automatically downgrades to Free plan limits.

• Your data and apps remain accessible.

• Features and limits are reduced according to the Free plan.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) via Stripe. Enterprise customers can arrange invoice-based billing.

Sola Concepts

What are apps, and how should I build them?

A Sola app is a custom security solution you build based on your needs. Each app functions independently and is built to answer your security questions across different domains.

There’s no single way to structure your apps. Sola gives you the flexibility to organize them however you prefer:

• By security domain. For example, Identity and Access Management, Cloud Security.

• By vendor. For example, AWS Security, GitHub Security.

• By team. For example, SOC Team Monitoring, CISO Dashboard.

Whether you’re building a single-use app or a more complex multi-source security solution, it’s up to you and your use case.

Apps connect to relevant data sources and can be shared with your team for collaboration.

Who is considered a workspace member?

An organization can have multiple workspaces, and users can be members of one or more. As a workspace member, your role and permissions determine what you can do. Whether it’s managing settings, inviting members, building or viewing apps.

Do you need to know how to code or SQL to build a security tool in Sola?

Sola offers a no-code experience, making it easy to create security apps using natural language with Sola AI. You can ask security questions, uncover insights, and set up alerts—no coding required. Start quickly with ready-to-use apps from the App Gallery, built by our expert security team.

What should I do if I don’t have access to connect a data source?

In the meantime, you can explore Sola using a sandbox environment or placeholder data source to test features and get familiar with the platform before connecting your own data.
