Updated: 2026-10-02

Vanta is a one-time app purchase. There is no Vanta subscription and no Vanta account to create. Check the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hosted-on-device-llms-vanta/id6758898098) for the current price in your country or region.

## What your purchase covers

Your purchase covers the Vanta app: its chat interface, supported on-device runtimes, provider connections, document workflows, memory, group conversations and settings. Features still depend on the capabilities of the selected model and your device.

## What can cost extra

| How you use Vanta | Separate costs |
| --- | --- |
| Downloaded on-device models | No Vanta per-token charge. Model licenses and device storage requirements still apply. |
| Apple Intelligence | No separate model download in Vanta; requires an eligible device and an available system model. |
| Your own server | Your hardware, hosting or electricity costs. |
| Cloud APIs | Charges from the provider whose key you use. A consumer chat subscription may not include API access. |
| Optional online services | Search, transcription or MCP services may have their own pricing. |

Vanta does not bundle cloud-model credits. If you use a cloud provider, review that provider's API billing and usage limits before connecting it.
