Pricing

Priced by the topic. Proof on every plan.

Evidence, not mentions. Every plan runs the whole loop, from Answer Share to verdicts. Plans differ by engines, topics, sites, the AI answers read each month and the team.

The promise

A verdict on every play you ship.

Every play you ship gets a verdict within 45 days. From the day a play's acceptance check passes, it is read against the topics you left alone on days 14, 30, 45: Won, Lost ground, No effect, Inconclusive or Too early, graded for how strong its evidence is.

How verdicts are designed

Every allowance,
side by side.

The loop is the same on every plan. Growth is where most teams start; Enterprise sets its allowances in the contract.

Refunds. If you ask within 14 days of your first payment and no run has started, what you have paid is refunded in full. A run starts when the domain is verified, so a domain that cannot be verified is refunded. It is in the terms.

What finance and procurement ask.

Billing, contracts, seats and the edge of a plan; the terms state all of it.

Talk to sales about EnterprisePlans in the terms
What is a topic?

A cluster of questions your market asks AI, such as "best payroll software for small businesses", sampled in the many ways people phrase it. Topics are the unit of every plan: Essentials measures 3 topics, Starter measures 5 topics, Growth measures 20 topics per site, Portfolio measures 60 topics per site; on Enterprise they are set in the contract.

Is one topic the same as one prompt?

No. A prompt is one wording; a topic is everyone who asks for the same thing in their own words. "Best payroll software for small businesses" is one topic, and the poll asks it as many different questions that vary the person, the length and the situation, to every engine through the month, with few repeats. That is why the topic, not the question, is what a plan counts, and why a topic's Answer Share comes with a range. Your own questions and the buyer searches from your Search Console join the topic they fit; the topic is still one topic.

Can I buy just the tracking, or engines one by one?

No. Every plan runs the whole loop, from Answer Share to verdicts. Engines come in fixed sets, never one by one: Essentials reads ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Perplexity; Starter adds Gemini and Copilot Search; Growth and up read all 10. Every site on a plan is read on the same engines, so its figures compare with theirs.

Why do the smaller plans start with those four engines?

They are where most people ask, and the cheapest to read, so a smaller plan spends its answers where buyers are. Fewer engines also mean more answers per topic on each one, so the ranges are tighter, not looser.

Do plans include classic SEO checks?

Yes. Every plan includes SEO Health: a check, every week or on demand, of whether Google and Bing can find, index and show your important pages, with one score and the problems ranked by what they cost. It reads a sample of pages per site, never a full crawl: Essentials 25, Starter 50, Growth 150, Portfolio 300, Enterprise 500. It is a measurement of your pages, not rank tracking or backlink analysis.

What do you promise?

Every play you ship gets a verdict within 45 days. A verdict is Won, Lost ground, No effect, Inconclusive or Too early, graded A to D and read on days 14, 30, 45. A play is shipped when its acceptance check passes, so the clock starts when the change is live.

Is anything metered?

No. Every plan is a fixed price. The poll spreads its answers evenly over the month, so nothing runs over and nothing is added to an invoice without your action.

What counts as a site?

One hostname your workspace has verified with a DNS record, a meta tag or Search Console, such as example.com. A subfolder such as example.com/de/ is part of it; a subdomain such as blog.example.com is a site of its own.

Who needs a seat?

Owners, admins and analysts each take a seat; viewers are free and unlimited, and API keys take none. Essentials includes 2, Starter includes 3, Growth includes 5, Portfolio includes 15, Enterprise includes 50. Extra seats are $49 a month each ($490 a year on annual billing); on Enterprise they are set in the contract.

Is tax included, and how are we billed?

Yes: prices include VAT, GST and sales tax, and a business that enters its VAT number pays the same price, with no VAT added. Billing is monthly or annual, in advance, by card on Stripe's checkout page. Prices are set in US dollars; if the checkout offers your local currency and you pay in it, the invoice, any refund and the Plan page are in that currency. Stripe is the merchant of record, so the receipt and the invoice come from its Link service.

Monthly or annual, and is there a minimum term?

Essentials, Starter, Growth and Portfolio are billed monthly or annually; annual is ten months' price for twelve. Cancel a monthly plan any time: it stays active to the end of the paid month. An annual plan runs to the end of its year and does not renew. Fees for a started period are not refunded unless the law requires it, with one exception: if you ask within 14 days of your first payment and no run has started, what you have paid is refunded in full. A run starts when the domain is verified, so a domain that cannot be verified is refunded. Enterprise is an annual contract under its own agreement.

Is there a free trial?

No trial of paid plans, but a free audit, once. Creating an account costs nothing: confirm your email and add your first domain, and Vercatus reads what AI crawlers see there, then asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Perplexity about your topics and shows your share of their answers and who they name instead. Measuring over time, plays and verdicts start with a plan. If you ask within 14 days of your first payment and no run has started, what you have paid is refunded in full. A run starts when the domain is verified, so a domain that cannot be verified is refunded.

Can we change plans later?

Yes, from the Plan page, in place and prorated. Six engines instead of four means Starter; every engine, or a second site, means Growth; a fourth site on Growth means Portfolio, which carries your seats and history.

What if we need a security review first?

That is what Enterprise is for: single sign-on, a countersigned data processing agreement (the published DPA applies to every workspace; Enterprise customers receive a countersigned copy on request), an agreement of its own, and an evaluation on your own domains.

Your account first, then the plan.

Create your account and see what Vercatus already reads on your domain. Choose the plan in the app, pay on Stripe's page, and the poll starts once the domain is verified.
