Five tiers. Self-serve from $0; enterprise from $1,500.
Every tier returns the same citation objects and provenance chain. Tiers differ in query volume, deliberate mode, compositions, exports and seats — never in whether a claim is sourced.

API
The API is metered per query, not per seat.
Every response carries the same claim, citation and validator objects the app renders. Agents that must not ship an uncited number can read the validator result and refuse.
~$0.01 per speculative retrieval query · ~$0.10 per deliberate cited-synthesis query (self-serve developer tier)

Frequently asked
Why are the prices at this level?
Briefs and answers are generated by the pipeline, not written by analysts, so the marginal cost of a seat is close to the cost of the queries it runs. Prices track that cost; the validator and the provenance chain are the same at every tier.
How is a claim checked before it is shown?
Every claim is verbatim-substring-validated against retrieved source chunks. Failed validations render "insufficient evidence" rather than fabricated text. Forum Atlas is pre-launch and holds no security certification today; a formal third-party audit is planned after launch.
What sources does Forum Atlas ingest?
17,000+ public sources catalogued across 12 sectors (as of September 2026) — SEC EDGAR, government APIs, trade press, academic preprints, GitHub, court records, patents, Wayback. All public information per Operating Commitment #1.
Can I license the Forum Atlas data feed?
B2A2B API metering on retrieval+synthesis tokens. Self-serve developer access at ~$0.01/speculative query and ~$0.10/deliberate cited-synthesis query (priced to cover compute). Enterprise B2A2B custom volume rates. See /docs/quickstart.
Is there a government tier?
No. Forum Atlas serves commercial customers only; federal procurement intelligence is outside its scope.
Can I get a custom-fine-tuned model on my private data?
Yes — Enterprise feature. Your historical data + private intel feeds a customer-specific synthesis layer. Public-data layer shared; customer-data layer private + tuned. Per-customer KMS key, schema-isolated storage.
The free tier includes cited answers, sector briefs and the provenance chain.
No card is required. Annual billing is 17% less than monthly.
