Compare every plan feature

A question costs about five credits. Processing a page of dense text costs about ten credits all in (reading it, indexing it, and working out how it connects), so 5,000 credits covers about 500 pages or about 1,000 questions. Pages with less text on them cost less; these figures are measured from documents and questions we have processed.
What counts. Each knowledgebase, chatbot, agent and analytics dashboard you create counts toward your plan. Strata is a paid add-on for the Business plan and above, and each Strata knowledgebase counts too. Business limits are shared across your teams. If you reach a limit, delete one or upgrade; nothing you already have is removed.
Website sources. A knowledgebase can read your own website: up to 25 pages per site on the Free trial, and up to 100 on Starter, Pro and Business. Prove you own the site and that rises to 1,000 pages on the Free trial and 5,000 on paid plans. Each page fetched and kept costs 2 credits plus the normal processing cost, and pages that have not changed since the last crawl cost nothing. How our crawler treats websites.
Enterprise and sovereign

Questions

Common questions

Not sure which path fits? We will walk through your obligations and your volumes on a call.

Book a call
What's the difference between shared cloud and the sovereign options?

Shared cloud runs on Certant-managed multi-tenant infrastructure with API-based model providers, so there is nothing to stand up. Sovereign options run on dedicated hardware, yours or ours, with local models, so your data never leaves your environment. Choose sovereign when regulatory, IP-sensitivity, or data-residency requirements demand it.

How are credits consumed?

A question costs about five credits; a page of dense text costs about ten credits all in (reading it, indexing it, and working out how it connects); and an agent run costs at least five credits, plus the questions and model steps it takes. So 5,000 credits covers about 500 pages or about 1,000 questions, mixed and matched. Cost follows how much text a page holds: dense prose costs the most, and pages with less text on them cost less.

Can I switch between plans?

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any time from the Stripe customer portal. Plan changes take effect immediately and unused credits roll over within the current billing month.

What happens when I reach a plan limit?

Each plan allows a set number of knowledgebases, chatbots, agents and analytics dashboards: 1 of each on the Free trial, 3 on Starter, 5 on Pro and 15 on Business. Strata is a paid add-on for the Business plan and above, and Strata knowledgebases count toward the same limit. Business limits are one pool of 15 shared across your own workspace and all your teams, split however you like. Enterprise limits are set by contract. Anything over the limit is refused when you try to create it, and nothing you already have is removed. Delete one to make room, or upgrade. On the Free trial, the Getting Started example knowledgebase (with its sample agents and example dashboard) does not count, so you have the example plus one of your own. On self-hosted installs (Agent-in-a-Box and BYO hardware), the licence sets how many client accounts the installation holds and how many of each resource.

How much does it cost to add my website?

Each page fetched and kept costs 2 credits, plus the normal processing cost for the text on it. When the site is crawled again, pages that have not changed cost nothing. The Free trial reads up to 25 pages per site and Starter, Pro and Business up to 100; if you prove you own the site, the limit rises to 1,000 pages on the Free trial and 5,000 on paid plans. Site owners can read how CertantBot works and how to block it.

What happens if I run out of credits?

On Pro and Business plans your overdraft buffer kicks in automatically. Beyond that, you can buy one-off credit packs, or upgrade. Free trial usage is capped at the included credits.

Which plans can add Strata?

Strata turns the tables inside your documents into data you can query, watch and act on. It is sold separately as a paid add-on for the Business and Enterprise plans, and you add it by talking to sales. It is not available on the Free trial, Starter or Pro plans. It is a paid add-on on dedicated and sovereign deployments too.

Which plans include the Certant MCP server?

The MCP server lets an agent you already run use Certant's tools, behind the same permissions and approval gates. It is included on the Business and Enterprise plans and on every dedicated and sovereign deployment. It is not available on the Free trial, Starter or Pro plans.

Do sovereign deployments include models?

Agent-in-a-Box ships with curated open-weight models pre-configured (Llama, Mistral, Qwen). BYO deployments include guidance on selecting and serving models for your hardware profile.

How long does a sovereign deployment take?

Agent-in-a-Box is typically operational within a week of delivery. BYO deployments range from a same-day self-service install to multi-week partner-led rollouts depending on integration scope.

No credit card for the trial, and no commitment on a monthly plan. Enterprise deals are scoped and quoted by our team.

A question costs about five credits, and a page of dense text about ten. 5,000 credits covers about 500 pages or about 1,000 questions.
