Priced for the value you put on top.
SWORD is infrastructure. You pay for what you consume, scoped to what you actually need — not a flat seat count, not a coverage gate that punishes you for changing objectives or the next new client’s demands. Anyone can sign up self-serve. Better yet, pick up the phone, and we’ll find the right fit for you, even if it doesn’t fit neatly on the public rate card.
Different relationships. Same SWORD underneath.
Different customers need different relationships with SWORD. A solo analyst kicking the tires doesn’t need what a GRC platform deploying it across their stack needs. A team that wants to build doesn’t need what a team that wants the data managed for them needs. Same product underneath; three ways to engage with it.
SWORD Self-serve
A few clicks and you’ve got unfettered access.
Sign up online, scope your sectors and jurisdictions, and start querying SWORD the same day. Pay as you go, with monthly consumption allotments included. Upgrade or downgrade as your needs change.
Best for: solo operators, individual analysts, evaluation phases, building proofs of concept.
SWORD Data Access
Enterprise consumption, your whole team covered.
Same production data through any integration mode – MCP, REST API, webhooks, flat file. No per-seat pricing, no seat-count math, no penalty for onboarding more users. Get every analyst, engineer, and decision-maker into the platform; we’re priced on what they pull, not on how many of them there are.
Best for: teams, GRC platforms, product builds, multi-jurisdiction operations, anyone with real volume.
Managed Intelligence
We’ll do the hard work for you.
Some clients don’t want to build queries, maintain configurations, or staff someone to translate regulatory needs into data specifications. They want a curated feed that just shows up — and someone on our end keeping it tuned. That’s what this is.
Best for: clients with complex or evolving requirements, distribution-heavy workflows, anyone who’d rather rent our expertise than learn the data themselves.
How SWORD pricing works
You pay for consumption. Not seats, not coverage scope, not feature catalogs. The meter is what you actually pull from the feed. Heavier integrations cost more than lighter ones. Fair, transparent, and impossible to outgrow.
Scope is set in conversation, not by a paywall. No region gates, no sector locks, no "premium" data hidden behind extra contracts. If you needs change – a new client jurisdiction, a sector expansion, a use-case pivot – the consumption pattern changes with you. The price follows.
Predictable when it matters. Enterprise contracts include monthly allotments sized to expected use, so your CFO sees a stable invoice. Consumption meters in the background for renewal conversations, not surprise bills.
Terms that fit the deal, not the catalog. Upgrade, downgrade, scale up, scale down. Term length, ramp structure, and commercial flexibility are part of the conversation – not boilerplate you have to swallow to get a fair rate. We build the contract around how you actually want to use SWORD.
Common questions
What counts as consumption? The data you actually pull out of SWORD – alerts retrieved through the API, downloaded query results through the platform, content generated by AI features. Heavier integrations and richer use cases consume more; lighter use consumes less. Your invoice reflects what your team actually used last month, not what your contract said you might use someday.
Will my bill be predictable? Yes. Enterprise contracts include a monthly consumption allotment sized to your expected usage, billed at a fixed amount. The meter tracks your actual consumption in the background so your account team can right-size the plan at renewal. If you run hot for a few months, we have that conversation early — not at invoice time.
Can I actually sign up online? Yes. Self-serve plans are real — credit card, sectors and jurisdictions scoped, working SWORD access the same day. No sales gate, no hidden friction. The conversation path exists because most teams get a better-fitted deal with one, not because we’re keeping self-serve behind a wall.
What happens when I outgrow self-serve? Your usage dashboard will show you before we will. When your consumption pattern suggests an enterprise plan would save you money, we’ll reach out — or you can book a call yourself whenever the use case grows beyond a credit-card purchase.
Why isn’t there a published rate card? Because the honest price for a hedge fund shipping global risk-scoring is not the honest price for a five-person compliance consultancy. A public rate card would either be too high for real buyers or too low to fund the work properly. The conversation lets us price fairly to the use case rather than default to a headline number nobody actually pays.
What about contracts and terms? Self-serve plans are month-to-month, credit card, truly self-service. Enterprise contracts are bespoke – term length, payment cadence, MSAs, NDAs where applicable, and procurement requirements are all part of the conversation. We’ve signed contracts with global banks, GRC platforms, and public-sector buyers; we know what your procurement team will ask for.
Let's price the deal that fits.
Bring your use case, your stack, and the sectors and jurisdictions that matter. Thirty minutes is enough to figure out whether we’re the right fit, what the consumption pattern looks like, and what shape of plan makes sense. If we’re aligned, we move fast from there.
