Questions

Is the public data free?
Yes. Every public page, chart, and the data cache stay free for everyone. Advanced visualizations (budget flow, coalition map, money network) ship with Professional. Plans also pay for the workspace: saving, tracking, exporting, and analyzing.
How do I get an account?
Subscribe to Research ($29/mo) or Professional ($79/mo) via Stripe Checkout. After payment you set a password and land in the workspace. Team invitees and SSO users get accounts through a paid organization seat without a personal subscription.
Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel?
Yes. In your workspace Account tab under Billing, open the Stripe customer portal to switch between Research and Professional, update your card, or cancel at the end of the billing period. Webhooks keep your plan in sync.
Do you have a plan for classrooms or newsrooms?
Team accounts cover shared workspaces, per-seat admin, and SSO. Tell us what you need on the contact page.
Prices match the Stripe Research and Professional products. Public pages, exports of source data, and the data cache remain free. See methodology for how the numbers behind every tool are built.
