Pricing

You pay for submissions, not for people

Every plan includes a submission allowance and an unlimited number of editors, reviewers
and administrators. One submission covers a piece of work from arrival to decision, including every
revision of it.

Two units, and neither is a person

A project, and a submission

A project

One review programme. A journal, a grant call, a protocol series, a tender round or an internal
pipeline. Each has its own workflow, forms, staff and branding.

Your plan decides how many you can run. It does not decide what any of
them are allowed to do.

A submission

One piece of work, from arrival to decision. Every round of review and every revision of it are
included, so something that goes out twice and comes back twice still uses one.

What the allowance does not count

People. Editors, reviewers, administrators and applicants are
unlimited on every plan. A system that charges per seat quietly discourages you from involving the
right person, which is the opposite of what review needs.

Outcomes. A rejected submission uses
the same allowance as an accepted one, because the review happened either way.

If you go over it

Extra submissions are ten dollars each on every plan. Nothing is blocked and nothing closes. You
are told while there is still room rather than after the fact, and you are given time to settle.

Storage, data traffic and support are not metered at all, so the
allowance is the only number worth watching.

Plans

Three sizes, and the same product in each

The plan decides how many projects an account covers, how many submissions are included,
and the rate on anything you add. It does not decide which capabilities you get.

In every plan

Nothing is held back for a higher tier

The plan changes the scale. It does not change the software.

Onboarding

Guided setup. We configure your workflows with you, move your data, and train your team, rather than handing over a manual.

Unlimited people

Editors, reviewers, administrators and applicants. Pricing does not follow seats, so nothing discourages you from involving the right person.

Unlimited file storage

Submissions, figures and supplementary files, with no cap and no additional fee.

Unlimited data traffic

Submissions, revisions and correspondence, without anyone tracking usage.

Workflows and templates

Pre-configured and aligned to NISO standards, and yours to change afterwards.

Technical support

Email support from people who understand scholarly workflows, at no extra cost.

Every capability

All six, plus all sixteen roles. Nothing is held back for a higher plan.

A 30 day trial

Before any of this is decided.

Estimator

Work out the part we can already price

Every figure here is real, including the plan itself. Set your volume, tick what you
would use, and it adds up.



PeerPath add-ons
Third party integrations

One assumption to check. Production, Typesetting and
Publish are charged on accepted manuscripts only. Everything else per manuscript is charged on every
submission. That is how it should work, and it is worth confirming before this goes live.

Questions

What buyers ask about pricing

What counts as one submission?

One piece of work, from arrival to decision, including every revision and resubmission of it. Something that goes out twice, comes back twice and is finally accepted uses one from your allowance.

What is a project?

One review programme. A journal, a grant call, a protocol series, a tender round or an internal pipeline. Each has its own workflow, forms and staff, and the plan decides how many you can run.

What happens if we go over the allowance?

Extra submissions are ten dollars each. Nothing closes, nothing is blocked, and you are told while there is still room rather than afterwards.

Do rejected submissions use the allowance?

Yes. The review happened either way. Add-ons that only apply after acceptance are the exception, and those are charged on accepted work only.

Is it cheaper to pay yearly?

Yes. Paying annually works out at ninety nine dollars a month on Project against a hundred and nineteen monthly, and a hundred and ninety nine against two hundred and thirty nine on Portfolio.

Why do add-on rates fall as we grow, while integration rates rise?

Add-ons carry a real cost on every submission that uses them, and that cost dilutes with volume. Integrations are licensed per account, and a larger account covers more projects.

Is there a trial?

Thirty days, and you do not need to choose a plan to start one.

Is there a rate for societies, non profits or academic institutions?

To confirm. A large part of this market will ask, so it is better answered here than in a first call.

Can we change plan part way through a term?

To confirm.
