Frequently asked

Yes. Upgrades prorate immediately and you keep the new limits the same day. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal so you don't lose access mid-paper.

One agentic, multi-hop research run that ends with a synthesized memo and a citation list. Quick chats, single-paper questions, and re-runs of the same query within 24 hours don't burn a credit.

Always. Documents you upload are scoped to your projects, encrypted at rest, and never used to train shared models. Institution plans add custom retention and regional storage.

Yes — verified through SheerID with a current .edu email or student ID. The Student plan stays at its discounted rate as long as you stay enrolled, re-verified once a year.

You'll keep read access to everything you've already added, and we'll prompt you to upgrade or buy a top-up pack. We never silently delete your work.

All Deep Search credits and PDF capacity become shared resources for the team. The admin dashboard shows who's using what so power users don't quietly drain the pool.
