Pricing

Coming soon

KinetiRO Sim is in beta. The price is not set yet, and it will be published here before the beta ends — no quote to request, then or now.

What the beta gives you

Full access to everything, for the whole beta period, on every account.

Everything unlocked

No cap on stored projects. Every export format — the PDF drawing, the Excel mass balance, the project file. It is issued as a complimentary licence rather than a trial, so nothing expires in a fortnight. Sealed .eaqua files are the one thing not included, because they are still being built.

No card

There is no payment method to enter, because there is nothing to charge yet. An email address is the whole of it.

What we are asking for in return

Tell us where it is wrong. Give it a plant you already know the answer to and see whether it agrees with you. We publish what our own verification found wrong in our own code, and adding to that list costs us less than being wrong quietly.

The verification record

An account is required to design and calculate. There is no anonymous mode, and we would rather say so at the door than let you build for an hour and then meet a wall.

What each plan will include

This is the shape of the plans after the beta, not what you get during it — during the beta every account has the Team column.

One product, two ways to hold a licence, and a free plan that is a working tool. Pricing is not set yet.

The price, and the billing terms that go with it — payment methods, billing period, cancellation, and what happens to stored projects when a licence lapses — are published together, before the beta ends. Publishing a price without those is publishing a price that changes at checkout.

What Pro and Team do differently, which is less than you would expect

Nothing, in the software. Pro and Team unlock exactly the same capability. There is no feature held back from Pro to justify Team, and no feature held back from Team to justify something above it, because there is nothing above it.

The difference is who holds the licence and who administers the seats. On Pro the licence belongs to the engineer. On Team it belongs to the company: an administrator assigns seats and takes them back, and the database refuses to assign more seats than the company has bought, so an over-assignment fails at the server rather than being caught by the interface.

We say this plainly because the usual reason a tool has three tiers is that the middle one was made worse on purpose. Ours was not, and the place to check that claim is entitlements.js, which has exactly two plans in it and treats every kind of licence — a beta grant, a purchase, a company seat, a complimentary licence — as the same answer with different words on screen.

A Team licence does not today give colleagues a shared project workspace

Projects are stored in each engineer's own browser, so there is nothing shared for a seat to reach. Team administers seats, and that is all it does today. Sealed .eaqua files are intended to be how a deliverable moves between people, and they are not built yet either — so the honest answer is that there is no built-in way to hand work to a colleague right now.

What sealed files will do

What the free plan is for

Not a demo with the useful parts removed. Unlimited calculation, every unit operation, every design check, every reference sheet. Five stored projects, and no export of any kind.

A student checking a textbook problem, an operator asking what happens if the sludge age drops two days, an engineer sanity-checking a proposal somebody put in front of them — none of them should pay us anything, and none of them will. A firm issuing a document it will be held to needs unlimited storage and needs an export it can put its name on. That is where the line is, and it is the honest place for it.

None of that applies during the beta, when every account has everything. It is here so you can see where the line will fall before you invest an hour.

What a licence will not include

  • Support with a response time attached. We aim to reply to email within two working days. That is a target, not a service level, and we would rather publish a modest one we keep than a stronger one nobody is staffed to hold. Write to sales@kinetiro.com about licences and billing, or contact@kinetiro.com about anything else.
  • Training, or engineering review of your design. We are not going to look at your flowsheet and tell you whether it is right; that is the work of an engineer with liability, and we do not take design liability. About
  • A shared workspace. Not built. See above.
  • Anything the tool does not model. Steady state only, no cost estimating, no civil or electrical design. The list is on the product page and it is not hidden. What it does
