Plan and key
Your own API key (Own Key plan)
How to add your own Claude, OpenAI or Gemini key, what it costs, and what changes in Anole once it's in.
On the Own Key plan Anole uses your own key for the AI model. You pay us for the plan (€10 a month) and the model provider only for what you actually use. There are no credits and no generation cap on our side.
What the plan includes#
- writing, editing and translating documents in Content Studio,
- AI summaries in the WordPress plugin,
- write access through the connector in Claude and ChatGPT (adding sites, editing and publishing documents), not just reading,
- up to 3 sites per account, with no limit on documents or languages.
You buy the plan under Plan & billing. Payment goes through Stripe and the plan switches on by itself once paid.
Getting a key#
One key from any of the three providers is enough:
- Claude (Anthropic): console.anthropic.com, API Keys.
- OpenAI: platform.openai.com, API keys.
- Gemini (Google): aistudio.google.com, Get API key.
Each provider needs billing set up or a topped-up balance. A key on an empty account usually won't pass the check when you save it.
Adding it#
- Go to Settings and find Your own API key.
- Pick the provider and paste the key.
- Click Check & save.
Before saving, Anole sends the provider one short test request. If the key doesn't work, nothing is saved and you see the provider's message. A working key is stored encrypted. The dashboard only ever shows its last few characters.
What it costs at the provider#
That depends on the model and how much text you put through it. Providers charge per token, meaning chunks of text sent and received, and their price lists are on their sites. Bigger models write better but cost several times more than small ones. Providers let you set a monthly spending limit, and it's worth doing that right away, before you start generating in batches.
Changing or removing the key#
In the same section you can paste a new key (it replaces the old one) or remove the current one. Without a key the AI features stop, but the rest of the plan keeps working.
If you cancel the plan, the saved key stays in the database but isn't used. It's used again if you renew the plan.
