How billing works

If you expect to process more than 3,150 pages (about 125 SOPs), Pro costs less than Core.

✓Core bills monthly. $5 for each page you process that month. Stop or upgrade anytime.
✓You’ll know before you run out. Email alerts go to users and admins as prepaid pages run low.
✓Pro is prepaid. Buy 3,750 pages plus add-on blocks in one purchase. No subscription.
✓Access never stops. Once prepaid pages are used, extra pages bill monthly at $5 each.

Your page count sets the price. These examples use our planning estimate of 25 pages per SOP.

Trying AICA on a first batch of documents

Pricing questions answered

What counts as a page?

Each page of a document you run through an AICA analysis. A 25-page SOP uses 25 pages, so a short work instruction costs less than a long policy.

Do I have to sign an annual contract?

No. Core bills monthly with no minimum. Pro and Enterprise are prepaid packages, not subscriptions, and you decide when to buy the next one.

What happens when my prepaid pages run out?

Your access continues. Extra pages bill monthly at $5 each until you buy a new package or add-on block. Email alerts warn users and admins before you reach the end.

How do I avoid a surprise bill?

Ask us to cap the pages your account can process, on any plan. The Usage Overview dashboard shows pages used at any time, and admins see the whole organization.

Can I buy page blocks on Core?

No. Page add-ons come with Pro and Enterprise. Most Pro customers add pages when they buy, sized to the year’s audit plan, since larger blocks cost less per page.

What are FDA Group expert hours?

Time with an FDA Group consultant to review your report, discuss root causes, and plan remediation. Pro includes 5 hours. Need more, or on Core? Flex Sessions are $450 each.

What does onboarding include?

A kickoff call with your team, on every plan. Bring your first batch of QMS documents and we’ll run the first analysis with you, then follow up with user guides and check-ins.

Which regulations does each plan cover?

Core covers FDA regulations in 21 CFR for pharma and biologics. Pro and Enterprise add European and Canadian regulations, plus unlimited seats. Core includes 5 users and 1 admin.
