## In brief
Kapa.ai is a managed retrieval and answer engine for technical products. It indexes documentation, code, support, community, and files and returns cited answers through prebuilt agents, API, or hosted MCP.

Kapa is not a self-service subscription with a public seat price. Cost combines platform fee and answered questions/month. Production start per the vendor often within one week.


## Limits
The only officially comparable billing unit is answered questions/month. Platform fee, included answers, overage, source count, and add-ons are not public and should be itemised in the quote. An answer may originate from website, support form, Slack/Discord, API, or MCP, so buyers must clarify whether every surface draws from one pool. Technical source scale is high: Kapa cites 40,000-page docs, 300-page PDFs, and millions of data objects, but publishes no price per ingested page.
