Name: Hugo Chat for HugoBlox
Brand: HugoBlox
Availability: InStock

Question 1

Is HugoBlox really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The HugoBlox framework is **MIT-licensed and free forever** — fork it, host it anywhere, and your Markdown is yours to keep. The paid plans on this page are for **Hugo Chat**, the AI assistant that helps you generate, debug, customise, and edit your Hugo and HugoBlox sites. The framework and the AI are independent: you can use HugoBlox without ever signing up for Hugo Chat.

Question 2

What's the difference between HugoBlox and Hugo Chat?

Accepted Answer

- **HugoBlox** is the open-source page-building framework — templates, blocks, conventions, and CLI on top of Hugo.
- **Hugo Chat** is the AI agent that talks to your repo: ask Hugo questions, generate full pages, debug build errors, push edits straight to GitHub. It works with both raw Hugo and HugoBlox-flavoured sites.

Think of HugoBlox as the toolkit and Hugo Chat as the pair-programmer.

Question 3

Can I try Hugo Chat for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free tier gives you limited daily Hugo chat with no credit card. Every authenticated Free user also gets a one-time **Build trial** so you can see the model generate full pages before deciding to upgrade.

Question 4

What's the difference between Chat and Build?

Accepted Answer

Chat is conversational — quick questions, debugging, config help. It uses a fast, lightweight model and is unlimited on every paid plan. **Build** is generative work — producing full pages, blog posts, themes, configs, slide decks. Build uses frontier AI with Thinking on Pro and above and has its own monthly allowance separate from chat.

Question 5

What happens when I hit my Build allowance?

Accepted Answer

Your Build allowance refills at the start of every billing period. If you reach it mid-period you can top up from your billing page or upgrade to a higher plan — no need to wait for renewal. Hugo Chat stays unlimited on paid plans regardless of your Build balance.

Question 6

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Subscriptions are month-to-month or annual and can be cancelled with one click from your billing page. You keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Question 7

Can I switch between Monthly and Annual?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch billing intervals from your billing page at any time. Annual saves up to 25% versus paying month-to-month.

Question 8

Do you offer team or enterprise plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The **Team** plan is per-seat with pooled Build allowance and admin controls — perfect for agencies, research labs, and small companies. For larger orgs needing SSO, custom contracts, data residency, or invoiced billing, [get in touch](/discord) and we will work out an Enterprise arrangement.

Question 9

Are there discounts for students, educators, or non-profits?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Hugo and HugoBlox are widely used by researchers and universities. Email us from a verified institutional address and we will arrange educator, student, and non-profit pricing.

Question 10

Will my prompts be used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your prompts and site content are never used to train any model. Enterprise plans add a signed DPA on request.

Question 11

I am a long-time subscriber. Will my price change?

Accepted Answer

No. Existing subscribers stay on their original price as long as their subscription is active — we do not auto-bump prices on renewal. You also automatically get any added entitlements that come with your tier.
