Pro API & Local is the plan for people who want AI on their own terms: $4.78 per month for 399 built-in credits, 30 AI deck pages, and the two features power users ask for first — bring-your-own API keys and fully local AI through Ollama. It is marked Most Popular for a reason.
What is included in Pro API & Local
- 399 AI credits per month on the built-in Rix AI.
- 30 AI deck pages included for AI deck generation.
- Bring your own OpenAI and Claude keys — unlimited BYO usage, never metered by Rixcart.
- Ollama local LLM support — run models on your own machine, fully offline.
- Custom prompts — shape how AI writes and edits for your kind of work.
- All five editors, offline manual editing, unlimited local storage.
Billing is the standard Rixoffice flow: USD base price with automatic local-currency conversion at checkout, Razorpay payments and cancel anytime.
Bring your own keys
If you already hold OpenAI or Claude API keys, Pro lets Rixoffice use them directly:
- Open Settings, then the AI provider section.
- Choose OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude) and paste your key. It is stored locally on your device.
- Pick a model and press Test to confirm the connection.
- Use the composer normally — calls go straight to your provider.
Three things follow: your provider bills you directly at provider rates, Rixoffice charges zero credits for BYO usage, and your prompts and documents flow only between your machine and your provider. The mechanics are covered step by step in the BYO API keys guide.
For teams splitting usage between built-in credits and BYO, the pattern is simple: built-in Rix AI for metered convenience, your keys for heavy lifting — both switchable from the same Settings screen, with metered usage tracked on the credit usage page.
Ollama: AI with no internet
The second half of the plan's name is the privacy story. With Ollama local models:
- Install Ollama on your machine.
- Pull a model, for example: ollama pull llama3
- Select Ollama in Rixoffice Settings and choose the model.
- Work normally — every AI feature runs on your own hardware.
Nothing leaves the machine: not the document, not the prompt, not the answer. For legal, medical, government and confidential-commercial work, this is the configuration that makes AI usable at all.
Built-in credits versus your own providers
| Built-in Rix AI | Your OpenAI/Claude keys | Ollama local | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Costs | Plan credits | Your provider account | Free after hardware |
| Needs internet | Yes | Yes | No |
| Privacy | Rix AI processing | You and your provider | 100% on-device |
| Included on Pro | 399 credits/mo | Unlimited, unmetered | Unlimited |
Custom prompts
Pro unlocks custom prompts — saved instructions that tune AI to your voice and formats. Write once, reuse everywhere: a house style for client emails, a structure for meeting minutes, a translation convention. Prompts apply in the composer and to block-level edits across all five apps.
Who Pro fits
- Developers and consultants who already pay for API access.
- Privacy-sensitive professionals who need offline AI for confidential files.
- Heavy users who outgrew 99 credits but do not need 1,200.
- Tinkerers who want to choose their own models, including local ones.
Comparing the math
Pro costs $4.78/mo and includes 399 credits — about four times Standard AI's allowance for under three times the price — plus unmetered BYO usage and offline AI. If your AI usage is occasional, Standard AI remains the better price; if you need 1,200 credits and priority speed, Premium API is the step up. The plans overview lays out every tier.
