One credit catalogues one photograph or object, one document page, one minute of video, or five minutes of audio (transcription included on paid plans). One Explore message is one credit; deep AI analyses — whole-collection analysis, fonds drafting — use five.
The app always shows you the credit cost before you commit — no surprises, no mental arithmetic. Monthly credits reset each month; top-up credits last 12 months.
Credit packs bring the per-item cost down as projects scale — pack prices are published at launch.
| Pack | Price |
|---|---|
| 500 credits | At launch |
| 2,500 credits | At launch |
| 10,000 credits | At launch |
| 50,000 credits sized for an Archives Revealed cataloguing grant | At launch |
| 250,000 credits Backlog Projects — talk to us | At launch |
The per-credit price falls as packs grow. Packs are valid for 12 months and are used after your monthly allowance. Invoice / purchase-order payment will be available for institutions and larger packs.
FAQ
When will pricing be published?
At public launch — every plan, pack and pilot price, on this page, mirrored exactly in the app. We’re in early access right now, and waitlist members see pricing before anyone else.
Why will you publish prices when nobody else does?
Because procurement shouldn’t require a sales call. Transparent unit pricing is how archives can put us straight into a grant budget.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing breaks — your catalogue, portal and exports keep working. Buy a top-up pack or wait for your monthly reset to process more.
Do unused credits roll over?
Monthly allowance credits don’t; top-up pack credits last 12 months.
Is the AI’s work put straight into my catalogue?
Never. Every AI-suggested field waits for human review and acceptance, with a confidence score and a full audit trail.
Where does the AI run?
In EU data centres. Your data is never used to train AI models without your explicit opt-in. See Trust & Security for the full picture.
Can volunteers use it?
Yes — volunteer and reviewer seats are free on every paid plan.
Can we pay by invoice / purchase order?
Yes — invoice and purchase-order payment will be available for Institution plans and larger credit packs.
Is it grant-fundable?
Yes — Archivers.ai is designed to drop into NLHF and Archives Revealed project budgets as a clear line item, with transparent unit pricing published at launch; see Heritage Funding & NLHF.
Will there be a free plan?
Yes — the Community plan: AI description of 30 items a month, CSV/PDF export, 28-day original-file retention. During early access, all accounts (including free ones) are approved via the waitlist.
