teckel: Pricing

Pay only for what you use

No subscriptions. No per-seat fees. No setup charges. You buy teckel credits (tc) and draw on them as you use teckel — including keeping your documents stored. Top up through the teckel App; your credit never expires.

How teckel credits work

Everything teckel does is billed in teckel credits (tc). Every action has a published price, and when a session ends its total is shown on screen in pounds, so you never have to think in raw credits.

Document-processing fees are tiny — pennies per form to render the PDF, email it and pin the tamper-evident audit trail. Keeping your documents stored afterwards also draws on your balance.

(Under the hood, £1 = 500,000 tc.)

What a typical session costs

Benedict is your practice’s compliance documentation assistant — an AI voice agent. A session costs the document-processing fees plus Benedict’s time on the conversation — and the conversation is the larger part. In our August 2026 measurements a complete form — opened, filled, checked and submitted — came to between £1 and £6, with most around £2.50. What that looks like in practice:

How the session goes Typical cost
Answered in batches — “yes to one, two and four; no to three” about £1 to £3
Answered one question at a time about £2 to £6

Measured in August 2026 across real form completions on our current voice model. Cost tracks how long the conversation runs, not how many questions the form has — so answering in batches (“yes to one, two and four; no to three”) costs less than answering one at a time. Working by text costs less than a voice call, because there is no speech to generate or transcribe.

Repetitive documents don't have to be filled in by conversation. Ask Benedict once for a log's or survey's web link — he can open it in a new tab or email it to the practice — and the same link keeps working all week. In our August 2026 measurements a week of daily log entries done this way came to under £1, against about £19 by voice; a patient survey filled in by ten people on one link came to under £1, against about £26.

Topping up

You top up your teckel credit balance through the teckel App (Apple App Store or Google Play in-app purchase). Credit never expires, and there's no subscription or per-seat fee.

Bulk-purchase discounts

The bigger the top-up, the bigger the discount — volume discounts run from 2.5% up to 12.5% on the largest bundles, and apply automatically in the teckel App's in-app purchase screen.

teckel credits Price (excluding tax) Discount
1,000,000 tc £2.00 —
2,500,000 tc £5.00 —
5,000,000 tc £9.75 2.5%

100,000,000 tc £180.00 10%
200,000,000 tc £350.00 12.5%

Prices exclude tax; the App Store and Google Play show the final price for your region (tax included where applicable) at checkout. £1 = 500,000 tc; credit never expires.

How teckel compares

teckel Other compliance software Paper / spreadsheets
Time to fill a form ~2.5 min (voice) ~5–10 min (click) ~10–15 min (write)
Audit trail cryptographic + timestamped varies manual / falsifiable
Per-practice-licence none typically £100–£150 per practice per month n/a
Setup time ~15 min days / weeks n/a
Mobile support yes (browser) varies n/a
Hands-free yes no no

Pay-as-you-go beats a per-practice licence for most practices — there is no monthly fee to pay whether you use it or not. A practice running more than about twenty forms a month should compare the two directly.

Cost FAQ

What if my balance runs out mid-form?
Benedict never interrupts you mid-form — your usage is drawn from your practice's balance shortly after the work is done. If your balance is empty when you come to submit, he tells you, and your answers are kept until you top up. If you are running low, he mentions it once during a session, and you top up in the teckel App.

Can I see how I'm spending?
Yes. The teckel App shows your transaction history updated hourly.

Are there volume discounts?
Yes. Bigger top-ups earn bigger discounts — up to 12.5% on the largest bundles (see the Topping up tiers above). Final prices show in the teckel App.

Pricing for our other tools

Beyond Benedict, teckel's developer tools and infrastructure are billed the same pay-as-you-go way, in teckel credits. You authenticate with your account address and API key (see Account & Identity).
