Guest, free account, and Premium compared
Every supported web chat model means the full model menu, not a trial model. It includes GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon, and models from xAI, Z.ai, and Moonshot AI.
Start a chat without an account
- Open www.capriole.ai.
- Open the model menu and choose a model. More models lists the rest.
- Type in Ask anything and send.
- To keep the chat, select Log In and sign in or sign up in the same tab.
What a free account adds
A free account turns the daily guest limit into 500,000 tokens of web chat a month, on every supported model. Token use depends on the model and the conversation: thinking models and long chats use more. Signing in also unlocks file uploads, free image generation with GPT Image 2.5 and Nano Banana 2.1, and projects. All three need Server Storage, the default. The chat storage guide explains the other storage modes. Free accounts do not include API access.What Premium adds
Premium costs USD 8 a month:- Unlimited web chat on every supported model, including GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Opus 5.5, and Gemini 4 Argon.
- An API up to 92% below official prices. Premium includes 5M API tokens a month, and top-ups cost USD 8 per 5M tokens of any supported model. One key works with 10 documented coding agents, including Codex and Claude Code.
Limits to know
- The guest limit is counted per IP address. People on the same network share the 5 daily messages.
- Guests cannot upload files, create images, or use projects. Sign in to use them.
- Guest chats are not saved to an account until you sign in in the same tab.
- Requests still go through Capriole AI and the selected model’s provider, with or without an account. Read privacy and data controls before you share sensitive material.
How other AI chat apps handle signed-out use
- ChatGPT. OpenAI says you can use ChatGPT without an account in supported countries. While logged out, you can have only one conversation at a time, and chats are not saved. OpenAI’s model guide says logged-out users do not get GPT-5.6 Sol, and GPT-6 Pro, the Chat option powered by GPT-6 Astra, needs a Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan.
- Gemini. Google says some features of the Gemini web app work without signing in. Other features, and saving your activity, need a Google Account.
- Claude. Anthropic’s help center says new Claude accounts must verify a phone number from a supported location, and there is no way to skip that step.
