Hark Pro AI assistant: what the free plan does, what $20 adds, and the catch

The Hark Pro AI assistant launched on October 6, 2026, as a free app for iOS, Android and the web. Hark says it can order groceries, pay bills, manage your calendar and book things by using its own computer in the cloud. Here is what the free plan includes, what the $20 and $100 plans add, and the one catch to know before you hand it your logins.
What Hark Pro does
Hark calls Hark Pro “the operating system for your life.” In practice it looks like a chat app, built around three pieces described in Hark's launch article and its Using Hark Pro FAQ:
- Handoff: a computer in the cloud that Hark operates. Hark says it runs up to 6 browsers at once and can sign in to websites for you to buy things or fill out forms.
- Memory: it remembers what you tell it and applies that context later. You can ask it to forget a memory.
- Proactive suggestions: it can offer the next step without being asked, such as finding parking after you buy a movie ticket.
Features you'll see in the app
The app has three views: Home, Chat and Projects. Home holds Action Buttons, one-tap cards like “Pay” a bill or “Cancel” a subscription, plus Panels, small mini apps Hark builds from a prompt. You can also set Scheduled Tasks and Specialties, which are multi-step routines Hark repeats. Direct connections currently include Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
Hark Pro pricing
According to Hark's pricing page, every feature is in every plan, and paying only raises how much you can use it:
- Hark Pro: free, with no ads.
- Hark Pro²: $20 a month for 2× more usage.
- Hark Pro³: $100 a month for 10× more usage.
Hark also offers auto top-up: you connect a card and it buys more credits up to a ceiling you set.
Price at the time of writing (October 13, 2026): Free $0, Hark Pro² $20/month, Hark Pro³ $100/month. If you're reading this at a later date, the price may have changed, so check the official site for today's price.
The catch: you can't see the usage limit
Hark's FAQ says the free plan is fully featured “but you may reach a usage cap,” and the paid plans are described only as 2× and 10× more usage. Hark doesn't publish the free cap in tasks, credits or hours, so you can't tell in advance how much work $20 buys. The pricing page gives playful examples instead, like getting groceries delivered 40 times. If you plan to lean on it for real errands, use the free plan for a week first and see where you hit the limit before paying or turning on auto top-up.
Is it a fit for you?
Hark Pro makes most sense for busy people who want errands and inbox chores handled from one chat. Hark says passwords and cards sit in an encrypted vault called Secured by Hark, and that it never sells your data or shares it with advertisers. Still, giving any assistant your email and logins is a decision to make on purpose. If you want agents for business work rather than personal errands, compare Organ, IrisGo or Meta Muse for Small Business, or browse all tools.
FAQ
