Introductory pricing

A dollar goes a long way.

KnowStash runs on credits, and the unit is honest: 1 credit = one hour of video, fetched, indexed, and kept forever. Every subscription costs the same per hour. A bigger plan is a bigger allowance, never a better rate. Top-ups are the walk-up rate, double what a plan pays, for when you need a few more. You start with free credits either way.

Every plan includes everything: the extension, the web app, monitors, and all model presets. Plans differ only in how many credits arrive each month, never in what an hour costs. Prices are introductory while we're in beta, and shown before VAT / sales tax. Checkout adds your country's rate. Subscriptions renew automatically each month until you cancel; cancel anytime and you keep your plan and its credits to the end of the paid period.

Top-ups

Need a bit more? Top up any time.

One-time credit packs at the walk-up rate: double a plan's price per hour. No subscription needed, they stack with any plan, and credits never expire.

$10 + tax One-time 5 hours Top up

$20 + tax One-time 10 hours Top up

$50 + tax One-time 25 hours Top up

Running out every month? A plan buys the same hours at half the price, so upgrading costs less than topping up. One-time purchases. Nothing renews. Prices shown before VAT / sales tax.

Teams & B2B

Monitoring at scale for products, markets, and research desks, with invoiced billing and help designing your monitors. From around 200 credits a month we sign volume agreements: $0.90 to $2.00 per credit depending on the volume committed, invoiced through Paddle. Ask us for the pricing sheet.

The meter

One credit = one hour of video.

Stashing is the hour-priced part; once a video is stashed, notes on it are cheap: one credit writes about ten standard notes on a one-hour video. These are today's introductory rates; the app always shows the live price before you run anything.

Action	Costs
Stash a videofetch + index: makes it note-ready and keeps it forever; what's already stashed is never charged again	1 credit / hour of video
Write a note · standardthe everyday preset, ~10 notes per credit on an hour-long video	0.10 credits / hour of source
Write a note · premiumdenser sources, more careful writing · the deepest preset	0.60 credits / hour of source
Update an existing notemerges new material into the same versioned document	2× the note rate
Monitor checkhourly is the fastest cadence ≈ 0.24 credits per day; what it finds is billed at the normal stash & note rates	0.01 credits / check
Newsletter issuea monitor that emails you a written roundup of a queue's new notes; flat per issue sent · 0.40 credits with a premium write-up · a quiet window sends nothing and costs only the check	0.10 credits / issue

Everything is prorated by video length: a 10-minute video stashes for ≈ 0.17 credits, and a standard note on it costs ≈ 0.02 credits, under a fifth of one credit, all in.

Back of the napkin

What do 5 credits look like?

The learner

Around 25 ten-minute tutorials, stashed and noted: a whole course's worth of watch-later, turned into a searchable library.

≈ 0.18 credits each

The deep dive

A two-hour lecture, stashed, with a premium note: the careful write-up you'll actually reread. Room left over for follow-ups.

≈ 3.2 credits all-in

The market watch

A monitor on your keyword, checking every two hours, all month, plus the stashes and notes for what it catches.

≈ 3.6 credits / month + finds

Five credits is five hours of video. Every plan prices those hours the same; bought as a one-off top-up they're the walk-up rate.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

What exactly is a credit?

The unit everything is priced in: one credit is one hour of video, stashed. You spend credits in fractions: a standard note on a ten-minute video is about 0.02 credits, a monitor check 0.01. Your balance and a per-action spend history are always visible in the app.

Subscription or top-up: which should I pick?

A subscription is the cheaper hour: every plan prices video at the same rate, and a top-up is the walk-up rate: double that. So pick the plan that matches what you actually watch, and if you keep running out, move up a plan rather than topping up. Top-ups are for the occasional overflow; they're one-time, they stack with any plan, and nothing renews.

Why doesn't the biggest plan get a discount?

Because there's nothing underneath to discount. Most of what you pay goes straight back out: to the model that actually watches the video, and to the payment processor's cut of every transaction. So the price per hour sits close to what an hour costs us. A bigger plan buys a bigger allowance at the same honest rate instead of a better one. Commitment is the one thing that moves the number, and only for businesses: from around 200 credits a month we price between $0.90 and $2.00 per credit depending on the volume committed, invoiced through Paddle. Write to sales@knowstash.ai for the pricing sheet.

Do credits expire?

No.^* Credits roll over until you spend them, subscription credits included. There's no monthly reset and no use-it-or-lose-it.

^* That's today's policy, and it's locked in for what you've already bought: if we ever introduce expiry windows, they'd apply only to credits bought after we announce them, never to a balance you already hold. The likely shape is a few months for subscription credits and about a year for top-ups, since a monthly allowance and prepaid credit aren't the same thing. Either way you'd get advance notice, here and by email.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You keep your plan and its credits until the end of the period you've paid for, and your remaining credits never expire. Cancelling stops future renewals, nothing else. You can resume any time before the period ends.

Who handles my payment details?

Paddle, our merchant of record. They run the checkout, store the card, handle VAT and invoices. Your card details never touch our servers.

Are prices shown with or without tax?

Without. Prices here are before tax, and checkout adds your country's VAT or sales tax on top, itemized on the invoice. Buying in Europe you pay in euros; everywhere else in dollars, at the same numbers. Businesses with a valid EU VAT ID enter it at checkout and pay no VAT (reverse charge).

What about refunds?

Every purchase carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. The details are in our refund policy.

What are the model presets?

Two levels of note-writing horsepower: standard for everyday notes, and premium for denser sources or when you want the more careful write-up. Every feature works on both. Only the depth and the price change, and you pick per note.

We're a company. Can we get invoicing or a bigger allowance?

Yes, and the terms are published rather than negotiated case by case. Self-serve prices are fixed for everyone: $1 per credit on any plan, $2 per credit as a one-time top-up. From around 200 credits a month we also sign volume agreements, priced between $0.90 and $2.00 per credit depending on the volume committed, invoiced through Paddle, our merchant of record. Write to sales@knowstash.ai for the written pricing sheet, with a line about what you want to watch.
