Pro is for the plant engineer, the sourcing manager and the contractor who reads. Desk is for a team. Institutional is for the developer, the fund or the OEM strategy group that wants the data itself: workbook plus dashboard, one year of quarterly updates, an onboarding call and ad hoc calls. Institutional pricing is by quote. Write to [email protected].
Group and corporate discounts on Pro: 20 percent for five or more seats. No trial. Cancel any time.
Paying by card
Pro and Desk check out on Stripe. The receipt, the card and cancellation are on the manage page. Desk asks for the seat count at checkout, one to fifty, and prices four or more at 25 percent off. Institutional is invoiced. Write to [email protected].
