AI at cost

One assistant pool for the whole lab.

The assistant runs on AI models that cost money each time they're used. We charge what that use costs us, and the Lab plan shares it across everyone.

Every seat adds to the pool

Each seat adds $10 of assistant use a month to one pool the whole lab shares.

Priced at what it costs us

Assistant use is measured at what the AI models cost us, with no markup.

If the pool runs out

Notes still save. The assistant pauses until the pool refills next month.

Example: a lab of 8

8 seats × $15: $120 / month
Includes an assistant pool of 8 × $10: $80 / month
Or yearly, 8 × $150: $1,200 / year

Everyone in the lab draws on the same pool, including its owner.

How do seats work?

Everyone in the lab is a seat, the owner included. Seats follow members: when someone joins the lab a seat is added, and when someone leaves it's removed. Changes are prorated, so you pay only for the time each person is in the lab.

What does “AI at cost” mean?

The assistant runs on AI models that cost money every time they're used. We charge what that use costs us, with no markup. On the Lab plan, each seat adds $10 of assistant use a month to a pool the whole lab shares, so a lab of 8 has $80 a month between them.

What happens if the lab's AI pool runs out?

Nothing is lost. Notes still save, and the assistant pauses until the pool refills next month.

Can we pay by invoice with a PO number?

Yes. Choose invoice billing and add your PO number, and the invoice comes with net 30 terms. Paying by card works too.

Do I need a card to start?

No. Every new lab gets a 14-day trial of the Lab plan, and no card is needed.

What happens when the trial ends?

The lab moves to Free unless it subscribes. Notes are never deleted or locked, and you can subscribe whenever you're ready.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the lab's billing settings at any time. The lab moves to Free, and its notes stay right where they are.

Who owns the notes?

Your lab and its researchers do. We use your notes only to run Lab Notes for you, and you can export them anytime as Markdown, Word or a printed PDF.

Is Lab Notes a regulated ELN (21 CFR Part 11, GLP)?

Not yet. Lab Notes isn't validated for regulated work, so it shouldn't be the system of record for 21 CFR Part 11, GLP or GMP records. It's built for academic research labs.

I work on my own. Lab or Pro?

Pro is for a researcher on their own who isn't in a paid lab. If your lab is on the Lab plan, you're already covered.

Try it with your lab for 14 days.

No card needed. If you don't subscribe, the lab moves to Free, and notes are never deleted or locked.
