No free plan. The cheapest way in is API (Pay-as-you-go) at Usage-based per million input/output tokens. Consider free alternatives in the foundation models category if budget is tight.
Cohere is built specifically for enterprise deployment with a strong focus on private deployments inside customer VPCs or on-premises, model customization on proprietary data, and integration with existing business systems. It does not offer a consumer chatbot and prioritizes data sovereignty and regulated-industry compliance over frontier consumer features.
Yes. Cohere supports deployment within customer-controlled environments including virtual private cloud (VPC), on-premises infrastructure, and a dedicated Cohere-managed Model Vault, allowing sensitive data to remain inside the organization's security perimeter.
The Command generative model family supports 23 languages, Transcribe supports 14 languages for speech-to-text, and the Aya research model family covers 70+ languages, making Cohere a strong choice for multilingual enterprise applications.
Cohere provides API access with a developer tier and a Playground for experimentation, but production usage and enterprise features require paid plans or custom contracts negotiated through their sales team.
