Alice pricing, free plan and limits
Study app that turns uploaded slides, notes and readings into a source-cited chat, podcasts, quizzes, flashcards and mock oral exams, in six languages.
- Best for
- University students rehearsing for a specific exam from their own slides
- Not for
- Institutions that need a published SOC 2 or HIPAA attestation
Should you use Alice?
Pick Alice if you want practice built from your own lecture files, especially spoken exam rehearsal in a Nordic or German-language course. Check the price at checkout first, because the pricing page needs a login. For open-web questions, a general chatbot or Gemini Notebook fits better. The app speaks six languages.
A spoken examiner that questions you on your own course files, sitting beside a chat that points to the page behind each answer.
Also for
- Danish upper-secondary students (gymnasium, HF, HHX, HTX) revising for oral exams
- Students studying in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German or Dutch
- Classmates who want to share one course by link
Also not for
- Students who want answers from the open web rather than their own files
Main trade-off
The price is hidden from signed-out visitors, so students cannot compare it before creating an account.
Alice pricing
| Plan | Monthly price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Limited features and usage allowances, shown inside the app (terms of service), Does not turn into a paid subscription by itself |
| Paid subscription | Custom | Monthly or annual billing, Usage limits and total price shown before you order (terms of service) |
How the pricing works, in full
Alice bills monthly or annually. A monthly subscription has no minimum commitment. An annual plan is paid 12 months in advance, but after five months it can be ended on one month's notice, with the unused time refunded in proportion, and a renewal can be priced above the first period. Consumers in Denmark see prices in Danish kroner with VAT included. A paid subscription for a user under 18 must be ordered by a parent or guardian, and the 14-day right to withdraw lapses once you start using the paid service. Source: Alice's terms of service, read on 15 November 2026.
Before you commit
- An introductory price can end: the terms allow a renewal to be priced above the first period, with at least 14 days' notice.
- Allowances on free access are shown only inside the app, so the point where a paywall starts cannot be read in advance.
What Alice does
Alice is a Copenhagen study app run by Alice AI ApS, a Y Combinator Winter 2025 company. Students upload slides, readings and notes, and it builds a chat that cites the page behind each answer, plus notes, podcasts, flashcards, quizzes and mock oral exams, tracking progress against the learning goals it finds in the course.
Chat that cites your own pages
Answers come only from the files you upload, and each one shows the slide or page it was drawn from so you can check it.
Six practice formats
Multiple choice, flashcards, true or false, open questions, a mixed set and a spoken exam in which an examiner asks and you answer aloud, with feedback after every answer.
Podcasts and explainer videos
The same files become audio and short videos; the homepage demos run 9 minutes for a podcast and 4 minutes for a video.
Learning-goal tracking
Alice finds the learning goals in a course (24 in its demo course) and marks each as learned, halfway or not started.
Show all 6 features
Six app languages
The interface speaks English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German and Dutch, and study material follows the language of your files.
Team courses
Classmates join a course by link and each member gets their own copy, per the privacy policy.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Every chat answer shows the page it came from, so a wrong answer can be checked against the slide, according to Alice's homepage FAQ.
- The vendor's own comparison table, dated November 2026, marks Alice as the only one of five products to offer all of mock oral exams, progress tracking, podcasts and videos; the table is the vendor's, not an outside test.
- Month-to-month is possible: the terms set no minimum commitment on a monthly subscription, and an annual one can be ended after five months with a proportional refund.
- Alice's privacy policy, updated 13 November 2026, rules out training on uploads and chats by its model providers, which matters for unpublished lecture notes.
Limits
- The price sits behind a login, so a student can compare cost only once checkout begins.
- Alice's terms say responses, notes and exercises may be inaccurate and must be checked against your originals before an assignment or exam.
- Only GDPR is cited in its privacy policy; no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or similar attestation is published, which matters to a school or university buyer.
- Support is one email address; no help centre or status page is linked from the site.

Questions about Alice
How much does Alice cost?
Alice does not publish a price to signed-out visitors: its pricing page redirected to the login on 15 November 2026. Its terms say the total price and billing interval are shown before you order, as monthly or annual billing, in Danish kroner including VAT for consumers in Denmark. Read the figure at checkout before you pay.
Is Alice free to use?
Yes, with limits. The terms describe free access with limited features and usage allowances that the app shows for your account, and the homepage's Try Alice for free button leads to sign-up. A paid plan needs a separate order, so free use never turns into a charge on its own.
Which AI models read my files, and are they used for training?
Alice sends uploaded material to one of its model providers: Microsoft Azure (hosting OpenAI models), OpenAI, Google, Mistral or Anthropic. Its privacy policy, updated 13 November 2026, says none of them train on the files and they keep them only for a limited period to check for abuse. Videos added by YouTube link are read by Google Gemini outside the EU.
Is Alice.tech the same company as Alice Technologies?
No. Alice.tech is the student study app run by Alice AI ApS in Copenhagen. ALICE Technologies is a separate company that sells construction scheduling software, so check the address before you sign up.
Which languages does Alice support?
The app is in English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German and Dutch. Alice answers in the language you write in, and builds quizzes, flashcards, podcasts and notes in the language of your files unless you pick another for the course.
About Alice
Alice is a study app from Alice AI ApS, a Copenhagen company founded in 2024 by Kim Rants (CEO, a former McKinsey associate partner who taught university students for more than 10 years) and Patrick Gadd (CTO, an Oxford computer science graduate), per Y Combinator's listing. It joined Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch, was reported in 2025 to have raised a seed round of about $4.8 million (EUR 4.2 million) led by Cherry Ventures, and says on its about page that it has raised over $6 million. Not to be confused with ALICE Technologies, the unrelated construction scheduling product that shares its name in search results.
Read the full background
You upload what you are studying, such as lecture slides, readings, notes, past exams or a photo of the whiteboard (PDF, PowerPoint, Word and image files), and Alice builds a course from it. A chat answers only from those files and shows the page each answer came from, while the same material feeds notes, podcasts, explainer videos, flashcards, quizzes and a mock oral exam. Behind the app, its privacy policy names OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Mistral and Microsoft Azure as model providers, picked per file by type, capacity and cost.
It sits among AI note-taking apps on Hokai because its output is notes, audio and flashcards made from your own files. It suits a university or high school student who wants practice shaped like their own course, particularly in the Nordic countries and Germany: its homepage quotes students from Danish and German schools, and classmates can join a course by link, each getting their own copy. On 7 October 2026 Alice opened alice labs, a test environment for the next version with 100 free seats for students who agree to give feedback.
Skip it if you need answers from the open web, one assistant for work as well as study, or procurement paperwork. Research across sources is better served by a general assistant, for example ChatGPT (compared in Claude vs ChatGPT vs Gemini), or by Gemini Notebook, which Alice's own November 2026 comparison table marks as lacking a mock oral exam. Alice's terms also caution that its answers can be wrong. According to their own homepages, read in November 2026, StudyFetch turns uploaded course files into notes, a study plan and a tutor, and Quizlet builds flashcards and practice tests from your notes; students weigh both, and neither has a page on Hokai yet. The price is the other catch, because Alice no longer shows it to signed-out visitors. Pick Alice for rehearsal from your own course files, and a general assistant for everything else.
