Archknot

Priced against a consulting engagement

One architecture review from a consultancy costs more than a year of this. The Free plan is a plan, not a countdown, and needs no payment details.

Indicative pricing. These amounts are the planned figures, shown in USD. Payment processing is not connected yet, so no card is collected and nothing can be charged today. Final prices and the currency you are billed in will be confirmed here before that changes.

This table is generated from the same plan definition the product will enforce limits from, so a feature cannot be advertised here and withheld there.

Currency, tax and payment

  • Prices are displayed in USD. The currency you are billed in is being confirmed with our payment provider and will be stated here before any charge.
  • Billing will run through Razorpay, as a monthly subscription. It is not connected yet: no card details are collected and nothing can be charged while that is true.
  • Taxes such as GST, VAT or local sales tax depend on your billing country. The tax treatment is being confirmed, and any amount added will be shown as a separate line before you pay - never discovered afterwards on an invoice.
  • Prices above are the planned figures. They are labelled indicative because final pricing is still being signed off, and we would rather say that than publish a number we might have to change.

Questions people ask before paying

Is there a free trial?

The Free plan is not a trial. It does not expire, it covers one assessment end to end, and it needs no payment details. A time-limited trial for the paid plans has not been decided, so we are not advertising one.

Can I cancel, and what happens to my work?

When billing goes live, cancellation will be self-service from your account rather than an email you have to send. The notice period, and what happens to your projects afterwards, are still being finalised and will be stated here before billing starts. Today there is nothing to cancel, because nothing is charged.

Who owns the data I put in?

Your projects, requirements and generated artifacts remain yours, and they stay exportable. The policy and the data processing agreement that put that in writing are in legal review and will be published before anyone is charged - so it is a commitment on paper rather than a sentence on a pricing page.

Can I export my work?

Yes. Reports export from the project, and Terraform exports on Architect and above. On Free, exports are restricted - the comparison table above shows exactly where each boundary sits.

Does the price depend on how many people use it?

Plans are priced per account rather than per seat. What separates Team and Business is organisation-level capability - collaboration, version history, shared projects, governance and policy controls - not a user count.

Start with the problem you are actually solving

Begin on Free with one assessment. Nothing is charged while billing is not connected, so there is no risk in starting.
