Pricing

# How our pricing works

We don't charge per user or per module. Here is exactly how it is calculated, what moves it up or down, and what the written proposal covers before you commit to anything.

0105Principles

*   01
    
    ## You don't pay per user
    
    Every plan covers the whole company. Adding people does not raise the bill.
    
*   02
    
    ## One fixed monthly price
    
    You know what you pay before you start. It's fixed each month, so you never pay more.
    
*   03
    
    ## Setup is included
    
    We connect your sources, load your documentation and leave the assistant running.
    
*   04
    
    ## You pay for what you use
    
    The bill tracks how much your team uses Referent, not your headcount.
    

0205Factors

## What your price depends on

*   ### How much you will use it
    
    We estimate monthly queries from how many people will use it and how often.
    
*   ### What you want to connect
    
    The volume of documentation and the number of systems that have to be integrated.
    
*   ### If you need custom automations
    
    Referent can automate work inside your software, even systems other tools can't reach.

0505FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

01Do you charge per user?

No. You can give access to the whole company without the price going up. If you are comparing us with tools that charge per licence, our model works out better the larger the team.

02Is there a lock-in or a setup fee?

There is no lock-in and setup is included. Custom automations are the only thing quoted separately, always at a firm price agreed before we start.

03Where is our data processed?

By default, processing runs on global infrastructure and inference may take place outside the EEA. If your data has to stay in the European Union, we offer an EU-region configuration on request. Either way, we sign the corresponding data processing agreement.
