Vellum
Vellum is a personal assistant that runs locally by default with long-term memory, integrates with files and apps, and offers cloud-hosted Pro packages that bundle selectable compute, storage and monthly usage allowances. Cloud plans and a configurable Custom option are documented with itemized components.
Vellum documents a free Base (local) plan plus Pro cloud packages: Mighty $30/month, Super $100/month, Ultra $200/month; a Custom configuration is also documented with componentized pricing and a stated minimum custom configuration of $50/mo.Is Vellum right for you?
Good for
- Individuals or solo founders who want a local-first, memory-forward assistant that can also run as a managed cloud instance with selectable compute and storage.
- Local-first default that keeps conversation history, memory, and credentials on your machine unless you opt into cloud.
- Built-in integrations and extendability: documented support for Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, filesystem, community plugins, and custom skills.
Keep in mind
- Many assistant actions consume prepaid Vellum Credits; credits are required for inference, web search, image creation, and some third-party APIs.
- Base storage is explicitly documented as 6 GiB in the docs, while the Mighty package shows 10 GiB on the pricing page, so confirm exact included storage for chosen plan.
- Organizations that need documented enterprise SSO, formal SLA, or compliance contracts without first confirming those terms with Vellum sales.
Pricing and plan limits
The pricing pages list monthly prices for Pro packages, detailed machine/storage/component line items, and credit purchase mechanics; the linked official pages do not list hidden fees but do not include enterprise contract or SLA text.
