About Msty Studio+

Msty Studio is a desktop AI workspace that can run models locally or connect to cloud models, with no account needed and zero product telemetry. Its free licence is for personal, non-commercial use, and work use by staff may need the paid Aurum licence, so check before rolling it out. Enterprise options add single sign-on and audit logs.

Pricing: Studio core features are free for personal, non-commercial use. Aurum is US$149 per user per year or US$349 once. Enterprise and Teams are custom. Msty's terms say work-related use that generates revenue needs a paid licence; they do not say how this applies to nonprofit internal use.

AI features+

The product is an AI workspace: you choose the local or cloud model it uses.

Data & privacy+

Msty states zero product telemetry, customer-controlled storage and a data processing agreement on request. It says SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications are not yet complete. With local models your data stays on your device; if you connect cloud models, your data goes to those providers under their terms.

How sure are we?+

Partly confirmed on the vendor's pages; some details from reputable secondary sources. Prices and nonprofit programs change often, so check with Msty Studio before you commit. Rankings on Nonprofit Tools are never for sale.
