Google Gemini in HolaReply
The AI most HolaReply sites run on.
Google Gemini is the lowest-cost way to run HolaReply: about $1.70 per 1,000 answers with Gemini Flash, billed to your own Google account. HolaReply adds no per-message fee on top, on any plan.
One key does both jobs. Gemini writes the answers, and it also builds the search index HolaReply uses to find the right passages on your site. If the main model is busy, a lighter Gemini model takes over automatically, so visitors still get an answer.
What you pay
What you pay, and to whom.
You pay Google, directly. Usage is billed to the Google account the key belongs to, at Google’s prices: about $1.70 per 1,000 answers with Gemini Flash at Google’s prices today. Reading your site into the index costs cents, once.
You pay HolaReply only for a licence, if you choose Pro or Business. The free version works with your Gemini key at no charge from us.
The free tier is for trying it. On Gemini’s free tier, Google may use prompts to improve its products and daily limits apply. For a live business site, turn billing on: Google requires a paid key if your site serves visitors in the EU, UK or Switzerland, and paid-tier prompts are not used to improve Google’s products.
