What does AI actually cost in Nepal?

Every option, priced in rupees, against your real usage. Including the ones that are cheaper than ours.

How this is calculated

Credit cost is estimated from the credit rate (Rs 1 = 10 credits) and a per-message credit range that scales with how much text each message carries — short questions cost a fraction of what a long document conversation does. Subscription and reseller figures are the advertised prices, not estimates.

This is a planning tool, not a quotation. Real spend depends on which model you pick, how long your conversations run, and whether you use documents and agents. Treat the credit column as a range, not a promise.

When we are the wrong answer

If you use one vendor heavily every day and your bank will enable international payments, a flat subscription is simpler and can be cheaper than metered credits. ChatGPT Go at Rs 709/month is a genuinely good deal for single-model, high-volume use. Pay-as-you-go wins when your usage is irregular, or when you want several models without buying several subscriptions.

A note on reseller pricing

Reseller and shared-account prices are included because they are what most people in Nepal actually encounter. They are shown for comparison, not as a recommendation: those accounts are shared logins that breach the vendor's terms and can be suspended without notice. See the risks in detail.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to use AI in Nepal?

For light use, a free tier costs nothing and covers a lot. For occasional paid use, pay-as-you-go credits are cheapest because you are not paying for months you barely used. For heavy daily use of a single vendor, a localised subscription such as ChatGPT Go at Rs 709/month can work out cheaper than metered credits.

Is pay-as-you-go cheaper than an AI subscription in Nepal?

It depends entirely on volume. Below roughly a few hundred messages a month, metered credits are usually cheaper than any subscription. Above that, a flat monthly plan for a single vendor can win. The break-even is what this calculator exists to show.

How much does ChatGPT cost in Nepal?

ChatGPT Plus is USD 20/month, roughly Rs 2,700 depending on the exchange rate, and requires a card enabled for international payments. ChatGPT Go is Rs 709/month and can be paid in NPR. Reseller and shared accounts are advertised between roughly Rs 499 and Rs 2,249 but involve shared logins that breach the vendor terms of service.

Why do prices vary so much between Nepali AI resellers?

Because they are selling different things under similar names. The cheaper end is usually a login shared among many buyers; the expensive end is closer to a private account. Neither is an official reseller arrangement, so the account can be suspended without notice regardless of what was paid.
