The research tier

For looking, not for applying.

Credits are for the research half: asking questions, drafting documents, pulling a title. Appraising a site is free. If you are making an actual application you want the fixed fee instead, and it is not a subscription either.

What costs what

Priced by what it actually costs us.

A question is one credit because a question is one retrieval and one generation. A Land Registry official copy is forty because it is a real seven pound disbursement to HM Land Registry, not an AI action at all.

The site appraisal is not on this list. Drawing a boundary, every constraint that touches it, the route your scheme needs, the documents that route requires, the approval likelihood and the written verdict are free, and they cost no credits.

Packs

Buy them when you need them.

There is no monthly plan behind this. You buy a pack, it does not expire, and if you never buy another one nothing stops working.

The free surface stays free whether you ever buy a pack or not. The map, every layer, every council profile and your council’s submission checklist cost nothing and are not metered.

Asked and answered

What people check first.

Do credits expire?
No. Not after a month, not after a year, not if you stop using the site.
Is there a subscription?
No, and there never has been. Packs are one-off purchases.
What if I run out mid-question?
An action that costs more than your balance is not started, so you are never left with a half-finished answer you have paid for.
Do I need credits to make an application?
No. An application is a fixed fee, quoted and itemised before you pay. Credits are for the research half only.

Start with the free half.

3 questions with no account, and 25 credits if you make one. Neither costs a card.
