Aligned Incentives Pricing

Uploading, segmenting, and listing your Arcula is free. We charge a tiered platform fee on revenue generated through subscriptions and access (fees decrease at higher volumes). Enterprise arrangements are available on request.

Publishers can also mark an Arcula as Exclusive, signaling contractual intent that the packaged knowledge is distributed only via Arculae.

Optional Verification

Optionally, you can have your Arcula verified. Our system evaluates uniqueness against public sources and all existing platform Arculae, generates a detailed description, and awards the Trusted badge. Verification is priced per semantic unit and capped per asset; we confirm the estimated cost before running.

In practice, pricing should track a few core drivers: uniqueness, utility, provenance, freshness, structure, and demand. Arculae helps surface these signals and turns retrieval usage into measurable value.

Access pricing is set by each publisher individually: per request, per month, or as a one-time license. We provide evaluation access so you can validate quality and relevance before committing.

Usage-based access lets you align spend with real agent value. If an Arcula becomes a recurring dependency, switch to a subscription or license model that matches your retrieval volume and compliance needs.
