Ten things we promise never to meter, cap or take away.
Tools grow meters where nobody was looking. So here is the list, written once and dated, of the things we will not put a meter, a cap or a paywall on. These are terms, not features. They bind us from today, on every tier.
- What is metered
- compute we run for you, and nothing else
- What is never metered
- reading, seats, labels, studies, exports
- Read-only people
- free, on every tier, forever
- Caps on any tier
- none
- Licence
- source-available
- In force since
- 28 August 2026
The promises, signed and dated.
Each line says the promise and how you would catch us breaking it. The number at the foot is a fingerprint of the ten headings, computed in your browser. Save it, and you can tell later whether we changed the wording.
The licence is source-available.
You can read the code that holds your record, and run it, under a licence that stops someone reselling it as their own service. The home page states in full which promise we are not making.
you would catch us in the licence file of the published source
Unlimited read-only collaborators, forever.
Anyone who needs to look at the record can look at it. A person who reads and never writes costs nothing, on every tier, for as long as we exist.
you would catch us on your invoice, next to a collaborator list with no ceiling on it
Reading is never metered.
Opening a scan, replaying a history and checking a release are free actions. Charging for them would make the record something you rent.
you would catch us on your invoice, which will carry no read line
No caps on studies, labels, annotators, projects, branches, releases or exports. On any tier.
Seven counters other tools use to price you. None of them exists here, and the cheapest tier is not the one with the limits.
you would catch us in the tier table, which names no cap
Never per seat, and never per label.
Pricing by seat makes you ration the people who check the work. Pricing by label makes you ration the work. Both push in the wrong direction, so we do neither.
you would catch us on the pricing page, and then on your invoice
The only meter is compute we run for you.
If we run a model on our machines, that costs real money and we charge for it. Bring your own machines and there is nothing to meter.
you would catch us in the invoice line items: compute hours, and nothing else
Provenance and review state are never behind a paywall.
Who drew a label, who accepted it and what changed are part of the label. Selling access to that would be selling you your own evidence.
you would catch us by opening the history on the cheapest tier and reading it
Signing a release and checking one both stay in Core.
Certification, where we stand behind a result, is a separate service we are building. The ability to check a result is not something we would ever sell. Anyone with a SHA-256 tool can check ours. Product status says where certification stands.
you would catch us by verifying a release on a machine we do not control
Once something is in Core it stays in Core.
Moving a shipped feature into a paid tier later is the oldest trick in this business. This line is the promise not to play it.
you would catch us with this document and its date
Export is complete and unconditional.
It never costs extra, never needs our permission and never stops when you stop paying. Leaving should not need our help.
you would catch us by exporting, importing it elsewhere, and rebuilding the dataset

- sha-256 of the ten promises above
- computing in your browser…
Your browser read the ten headings out of the page and hashed them. It shows what checking a record looks like, on something small enough to check by hand. It is not a legal signature, and on its own it proves little, because we serve you both the page and the number. Write the number down and it starts to be worth something.
One meter, and a long list of things that are not one.
This is the whole pricing idea in two columns. The numbers are not settled and we are not going to invent them. The shape is settled, and it is this.
metered one thing
- Compute we run for you, by the hour
never metered ten things
- Reading anything
- People who only read
- Seats
- Labels
- Studies and series
- Annotators
- Projects and branches
- Releases
- Exports
- Provenance and review history
What you get
A list you can hold us to
Ten sentences, dated, with a fingerprint. If a future page says something softer, this one is the evidence of what we said on 28 August 2026.
A pricing shape before a price
You can work out roughly what you would pay us as you grow, because only one thing is counted.
An exit that needs nobody's permission
You can take the whole record out and rebuild it elsewhere, at any time, without telling us why.
A record that is not rented
Who drew a label, who accepted it and what changed are part of the label. You never pay us to read your own evidence.
What a promise is, and what it is not
These ten lines bind what we charge for and what we take away. They are terms of business, and they hold from the date at the foot of the document.
They are not a claim about what the software does. Ask your legal team to read the licence file in the published source before you sign anything, and ask us for the deployment and security record before you rely on any of it.
