10 · Plans, allowances & limits

Every plan gate and platform limit mentioned anywhere in this manual, collected on one page. When a chapter says a feature "requires an AI plan" or is "metered by plan", this is the page that defines what that means. Your own workspace's plan, usage, and remaining allowances are always visible under Billing.


How this manual describes plan gating

The manual uses a small, fixed vocabulary so you always know what a gate means:

Allowance windows are rolling, not calendar months: "per month" means the last 30 days, "per week" the last 7. An allowance frees up on its own as older runs age out of the window.

The plans

Five plans, priced annually. Owners can compare them under Billing; upgrades are set up by our team and billed by invoice.

Plans unlock apps. An app your plan does not carry shows an in-place panel naming the plan it joins on, with a link to Billing; it never opens partially. Workspaces created before July 29, 2026 keep every app they could already reach, and trial workspaces see every app, with the trial's own allowances as the only limit.

Plans without included analyst benchmarks (or with the allowance used up) can still send proposals for expert review with benchmark credits: an organization owner requests one directly on the proposal page ($5,000 per analyst benchmark, billed by invoice), our team confirms and adds it, and the Billing page shows the balance. See Proposals.

Two trial limits worth knowing before they surprise you: trial workspaces read research online but do not download it, and instant benchmark runs are capped at 2 in total. Partner-program firms also read research online without downloads, per program terms, whatever their plan.

AI allowances by plan

Each run of an AI feature counts against the matching allowance. All counts are per rolling window as described above.

When an allowance runs out, the feature says so in place and the Billing meter shows when the window frees up. Owners can upgrade at any time; the higher allowance applies immediately.

Fair-use daily caps also protect the conversational surfaces (asking Vera) and the instant tools (Contract decode, Snap a quote). You will rarely meet them, and you will never meet one unwarned: once less than half of a day's cap remains, a quiet meter appears near the input ("7 of 10 questions left today") with the upgrade path attached. Trial workspaces, where asking Vera is metered at ten questions a day, always see the meter. Caps reset at midnight UTC.
