Plans & limits
BioSkepsis meters usage with a single monthly allowance, and each plan is a multiple of it. This page explains what each plan includes, what draws down your monthly allowance, and how credits keep the agent working once you pass a limit.
#Plans at a glance
Every plan runs the same agent: it searches across 40M+ papers in the life-science literature, screens for relevance, and synthesises a cited brief. Plans differ in the size of the monthly usage allowance, given as a multiple of the Basic allowance, and in a handful of workflow features. Prices are shown per month and exclude applicable taxes; Plus is also available annually at €180 a year.
| Plan | Price | Monthly usage allowance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Free | Basic allowance | Students & curious minds |
| Plus | €18 / month | 3x Basic | Master's & PhD students |
| Pro | €75 / month | 13x Basic | Postdocs, PIs & healthcare pros |
| Team | €125 / mo (3 seats), then €37 / extra seat | 9x Basic / seat | Research labs & R&D groups (min. 3 seats) |
| Organization | €150 / seat / month | Pro limits per seat | Pharma, biotech & institutions |
#What each tier adds
- Basic (free): a monthly usage allowance for full, cited research runs, semantic literature search, AI relevance screening, the Literature Landscape graph, hypothesis and methodology generation, all smart-select filters, file & image attachments, and a personalized Research Feed with email alerts.
- Plus (€18/mo): everything in Basic, 3x the Basic monthly usage allowance, no monthly cap on mechanistic links, landscape narratives, hypotheses and methodologies, up to 10 foundational papers per search, 25 saved clusters, and credits to work past your allowance.
- Pro (€75/mo): everything in Plus, 13x the Basic monthly usage allowance, and unlimited saved clusters.
- Team (€125/mo for 3 seats, then €37/extra seat): everything in Pro, with 9x the Basic usage allowance per seat, a minimum of 3 seats, member invitation and management, shared billing under one subscription, and volume pricing (seats 4 and up at a lower rate).
- Organization (€150 per seat / month): the Pro usage limits for every member, one contract, one invoice and one member list, onboarding and training, and priority support in Cyprus business hours, with a first response within 4 hours for the most severe problems.

#What counts toward your limits
A research brief is one full agent run: the agent searches the literature, screens papers for relevance, and produces a cited synthesis. Every run draws on your monthly usage allowance, and how much it draws depends on how broad the question is and how long the answer runs, so the allowance is the quantity every plan is sized around.
Within and around a brief, a few other quantities are metered separately:
- Follow-up questions: continuing a conversation after a brief is delivered draws on the same monthly usage allowance as research runs.
- Mechanistic links, landscape narratives, hypotheses, and methodologies: Basic includes one of each per month; Plus, Pro and Team have no monthly cap on them, and they draw on the usage allowance.
How far an allowance goes is an estimate, not a fixed counter. Actual mileage depends on the complexity of the question, how many follow-ups you ask, and how long each response runs: a short, tightly scoped question consumes less than a broad one with many follow-ups.
#Monthly allowances by feature
The table below shows the concrete per-plan limits. Values that are identical across plans are ceilings applied to a single research session regardless of tier.
| Feature | Basic | Plus | Pro | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly usage allowance | Basic | 3x Basic | 13x Basic | 9x Basic / seat |
| Max papers discovered per research session | 1,000 | 1,000 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| Results per query (Interpretation) | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Results per query (Literature Review) | 50 | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| Full-text papers added to Sources | 70 | 70 | 70 | 70 |
| Follow-up questions | Included | Included | Included | Included |
| Mechanistic links, landscape, hypotheses and methodologies | 1 each a month | No monthly cap | No monthly cap | No monthly cap |
| Smart-select filters | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Mechanistic links table | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Landscape Narrative | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Attachments | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Export report | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Personalized Research Feed | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
The Interpretation and Literature Review caps limit how many results the agent pulls per query during a session, while the session-wide ceiling of 1,000 papers and 70 full-text sources bound how much evidence a single brief can gather.
#Credits
Every paid plan, Plus, Pro and Team, can buy credits. When you reach a monthly limit the agent does not have to stop: research beyond your included allowance draws down a credit balance you have already bought, so your work continues.
- You buy before you spend. Credits are prepaid, so there is no bill arriving later for usage you have already had.
- Only usage past your allowance costs credits. Everything included with your plan stays free, and your allowance resets each month.
- You set the ceiling. Turn on automatic top-ups and set a monthly limit for them, so top-ups stay inside the budget you choose.
- Basic does not include credits. The free plan is capped at its monthly allowance; to continue past the limit, upgrade to a paid plan.
#Managing your usage
A few practices keep your allowance going further and your bill predictable:
- Scope questions tightly. Because usage scales with question complexity, response length, and follow-ups, a focused prompt spends less of your allowance than a broad one.
- Batch follow-ups within a brief. Continuing an existing conversation draws on the same monthly usage allowance as everything else, so consolidating related questions into one session is more efficient than starting new briefs.
- Upgrade or change billing period in your account. Plan changes, downgrades, seat adjustments, and switching between monthly and annual billing are all handled in the billing portal from your account settings.
