How do you want to power Aria?
Aria's agents run on an LLM. We work with every major vendor — Anthropic · OpenAI · xAI · Google · Hermes — on every path below.
Best value: if you already pay for Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT, plug that subscription straight in — no second bill. A $200/mo Claude Max plan is usually more compute than one person can use. No subscription yet? Vox Ordo credits get you running in ~30 seconds.

Your Claude / ChatGPT subscription
Already pay for Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro? Install aria-runner — your local CLI session powers Aria. No new bill. (This is your existing plan, not an Aria subscription.)
flat monthly · already paid
- We lean toward Claude — a $200 Max plan is the best deal right now for daily heavy use
- Far more tokens per dollar than paying API rates
- Claude and ChatGPT (Codex) both supported on the same runner
- Needs the vendor's CLI installed locally + signed in
- The vendor's own rate caps still apply (theirs, not ours)
- Your machine must be online while you use Aria
API key (BYOK)
Paste a developer key from Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, or Google. You pay your vendor; Aria adds no markup.
MSRP per token · prepaid pool
- Works from anywhere — cloud-only, no install
- Usage visible in your vendor's dashboard
- No markup from Aria
- Pay per token at MSRP — pricier than a flat subscription for heavy use
- Tops up at each vendor separately
