pricing

what an action costs
The meter, published.
An allowance is counted in weighted actions, not in tokens. The weights are measured, and they are here to make a month predictable before it happens.

the fine print
What the edition changes.
The document is never the difference
Both editors, compile, the library, the bibliography and export are in every edition, Free included. An edition changes how much assistant you get, and what reaches your sources.
An allowance is not a cliff
Anything already running finishes when an allowance runs out, and nothing you have made is affected. New AI requests wait for the reset, or a paid organization adds credits.
Priced per seat, invoiced once
Free and Pro are one seat. Team starts at three, Enterprise at twenty. A department reconciles one invoice instead of a receipt per person against a grant.
Your own model, if you have one
An organization can point Citerra at its own model endpoint, and answers are generated there instead.
Leaving costs nothing
Every paper exports as
.texand.bib, and an admin can export the whole organization as a zip. How that works.
