How AskCSV pricing works
Try AskCSV free with $0.25 of credits, then subscribe for $5 a month with $5 of usage included, and add credits from $10 when you need more. No ads.
Guests get $0.25 of credits to try it with no account. Signing in with Google ties credits and billing to an account, and a $5/month subscription includes $5 of usage every month (about 100 answers). Need more? Add credits from $10. No ads.
We used to charge a small day pass, and later a different monthly plan. Today there is one simple model: try AskCSV without an account ($0.25 of credits, about 5 answers), then subscribe for $5 a month, which includes $5 of usage every month (about 100 answers). Need more in a heavy month? Add credits from $10 (about 200 answers). Signing in ties credits and billing to an account; your file stays in this browser either way. You can cancel anytime.
You pay for the tokens actually processed: a typical answer costs about $0.05, and a request refused before the AI runs costs nothing.
Why charge per answer?
Every answer costs real money to produce: a query runs against your local file, an AI provider interprets the question and the result, and servers keep credits and billing between visits. Charging per answer means occasional users pay a little and nobody pays for a month they didn't use.
What the free credits do not compromise on:
- The numbers come from a query. Totals, counts, shares, and trends are computed in code from a read-only SQL result, never written by the model.
- The SQL is visible. Every chart shows the query behind it, so you can check the calculation, including on free credits.
- Your data is yours to delete. Files and chats stay in this browser until you delete them or clear the site's data, and guest credits expire 7 days after they are issued.
What you get
| Step | Credits | Also included |
|---|---|---|
| Guest, no sign-in | $0.25, one time (about 5 answers) | Try it with no account |
| Subscribed, signed in with Google | $5/month includes $5 of usage (about 100 answers) | Cancel anytime |
| Extra credits (subscribers) | From $10 (about 200 answers) | Last 12 months after your last purchase; usable after the subscription ends |
Only AI answers use credits, charged for the tokens the AI reads and writes; opening files and viewing charts are free. When credits run out, guests sign in, and signed-in users subscribe or add credits right where they are.
Expiry and refunds
Credits you buy last 12 months after your last purchase — each new purchase extends the rest. You can ask for a refund of unused purchased credits within 14 days of buying them. The terms of service have the details, including where local law gives you more rights.
No ads
AskCSV shows no ads. Your files and chats stay in your browser, and neither they nor anything sent to the AI is passed to advertising or tracking scripts.
Open a CSV, ask a question, and check the SQL behind the first chart.

AskCSV opens your CSV or Excel file in your browser, runs read-only SQL over it there, computes results deterministically, and shows the generated SQL with every chart.
