ESTsoft announced on the 7th that it is introducing a subscription model for its artificial intelligence (AI) search engine service 'Allen' and is starting to generate revenue based on its self-developed large language model (LLM).
ESTsoft plans to commercialize 'Allen' as a specialized AI search service through this subscription model and build a revenue model based on its self-developed 'Allen LLM.'
ESTsoft has introduced two pricing plans: the 'Pro Plan' at 19,900 won per month and the free 'Free Plan.' To celebrate the service launch, the Pro Plan will also feature a promotion that allows users to access it for 14,900 won per month for a limited time.
Pro Plan users can access key features such as the AI search function, YouTube summaries, and 'Deep Research' functionality to generate advanced in-depth reports without usage restrictions. Additionally, options to utilize various global LLMs are also provided.
Free Plan users can experience all of Allen's features, but there are restrictions on daily usage. ESTsoft is expecting that paid conversion will occur for users who want to utilize a certain level of usage, given Allen's continuous search flow and functional characteristics.
Jung Sang-won, CEO of ESTsoft, noted, "The launch of the subscription service is the first step in commercializing our LLM technology," adding, "We will continue to enhance and optimize the model to grow it into a representative Korean AI search engine service."
