Pricing
Manual chemist/associate triage on a single patent typically runs $300–800+ in billable time. Our automation carries near-zero marginal cost, so we pass that through — your first report is free.
Instant Compound Check
Look up a specific patent, or search your own compound for structurally similar matches and the patents they're linked to — fully automated, delivered live. No human review in the loop, so it's priced like software.
- ✓Patent lookup or compound structural search, your choice
- ✓Cross-patent scaffold matches, tiered by similarity
- ✓Delivered live — under a minute, no waiting
- ✓Downloadable data (JSON)
Standard Report
A full structure-extraction or coverage report on a specific patent. Anything flagged for review gets our own real chemist sign-off before you see it — this is where our actual time goes, priced accordingly.
- ✓Full genus/species, Section 3(d), or FTO triage report
- ✓Needs-review items get human sign-off, not just a flag
- ✓24-48h turnaround
- ✓Full HD structure images + data + sources, packaged
Portfolio Retainer
Ongoing monitoring across a portfolio or compound class — new matching patents flagged as they publish, plus priority turnaround on ad-hoc reports. For teams tracking a space continuously, not one-off.
- ✓Recurring alerts on new matching patents
- ✓Priority turnaround on Standard Reports
- ✓Direct line to review findings together
- ✓Cancel anytime
Every report includes an explicit “what we claim / what we don't claim” section — we identify chemical structures and their relationship to claimed scope, not legal conclusions like infringement or validity.
How we compare
Every claim below is sourced from each company's own public pricing pages and product posts as of September 2026. Where a competitor doesn't publish something, we say so instead of guessing.

1. ChemAxon's cheminformatics business now operates under Certara branding; its LinkedIn updates redirect there as of 2026.
2. Source: patsnap.com/pricing and eureka.patsnap.com, accessed September 2026. Higher usage tiers go up from there.
3. ChemAxon/Certara's Markush tools generate compound variants from a genus (enumeration) — a different task from checking whether one specific compound falls within a genus claim, which is what our Markush Coverage product does.
We couldn't find published self-serve pricing for IPRally, Clarivate Cortellis, or ChemAxon/Certara — if that's changed, let us know and we'll correct this.
