The selected plan begins automatically after the trial unless canceled. The company offers volume-based pricing for teams and institutions.

Doxy is a web document-chat app for asking questions about uploaded files and other source material.

Supported inputs include PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images, audio, HTML, CSV, ZIP and EPUB files, plus web links and YouTube URLs. YouTube questions use the video transcript. Users can upload and ask questions in many languages, with answers in the question’s language where the source supports it. Pro and Business plans generate multiple-choice quizzes with explanations and open-ended practice exercises from selected sources. The Free plan costs nothing for 3 documents, 20 questions monthly and 10 MB files. Pro costs $4.99 a month for 100 documents, 1,000 questions monthly and 50 MB files. Business costs $9.99 a month with unlimited documents and questions and 200 MB files. An account is required.
