Pricing
Meet your personal AI.
And actually own it.
Most AI services require you to keep paying every month. Amerus is different.
Amerus runs on your computer. Your information stays with you. And when you buy Amerus, it’s yours to keep.

$199. Once. And your licence doesn’t expire.
No monthly subscription. No annual fee required. Your purchase includes the complete personal Amerus AI, private local processing, personal memory and knowledge, your documents available to your AI, offline capability, all core features — and 12 months of every new feature and upgrade we release.
And after those 12 months? Your Amerus keeps working.
Want the newest Amerus?
After your first year, the choice is yours.
Amerus Upgrades is $59 a year and completely optional. It keeps you current with new features, improved AI models, new capabilities, major new versions, new integrations, and performance and compatibility improvements.
Don’t renew? Nothing shuts off.
Keep using the Amerus you already own for as long as you want. You can always upgrade again later.
From time to time we may create entirely new Amerus products, services, specialized editions or other offerings that are separate from the Amerus you purchased. Those may be offered separately and may have their own pricing. But when we make your Amerus better — new features, capabilities, AI models and major versions — those improvements are included while your upgrade coverage is active.
Buy or renew
Ready when you are.
A quick, secure checkout — then your key arrives by email. If you already registered on our download page, this connects to that same record automatically.
Buy Amerus once. Keep it.
No subscription required
Why we price it this way
We think your personal AI should actually belong to you.
That’s why Amerus doesn’t require you to keep paying us just to continue using the software you already purchased.
If we continue making Amerus better and you want the improvements, you can choose to stay current. If you don’t? Your Amerus is still your Amerus.
Your AI should be personal.
Amerus doesn’t just have a different pricing model. It has a different philosophy.
Your conversations, documents, memories and personal knowledge are designed to stay on your computer — not routinely sent to Amerus, and not sent to an outside AI model unless you choose to use a feature that requires it.
- We don’t maintain a cloud backup of your personal Amerus information.
- We don’t use your locally processed information to train a shared AI model.
- What stays on your computer remains distinctly yours.
