Pricing

These plans cover AECO Shield (App 1). Bid, Strategic, and Career are separate products in development — when each ships, it will have its own subscription and its own pricing.
For AI tool vendors
The AECO Shield registry is where AEC firms start when they evaluate a new AI tool. Listing your tool puts it in front of licensed professionals and firms actively comparing options — with your ACS assessment and Stamp-Safe™ badge as proof of compliance. It's distribution and credibility in one.
Beyond the listing, the same subscription gives you a remediation roadmap, US market-entry gap analysis, and an editorial review workflow — so what buyers see is a tool that has actually done the work, not a self-attested claim.
Distribution + credibility for AI tool makers in AEC.
$199
Per tool · monthly
Vendor listing is a paid tier. There is no free vendor option — the assessment produces US market-entry intelligence, and free access would let non-buyers extract that intelligence without contributing to the registry commons.

Billing FAQ
Pick a plan and start a 14-day free trial on Pro ($149/user/mo) or Firm ($799/mo). Card required to start the trial; you can cancel any time during the 14 days and no charge is made. Vendor listings ($199/tool/mo) are billed immediately — no trial. Enterprise is a direct sales conversation.
For Pro and Firm: a card is collected at signup, but no charge is made during the 14-day free trial — the first charge lands on day 15. Vendor is billed immediately at signup. Enterprise is invoiced under an annual contract. All payment handling is Stripe-hosted — we never see or store card numbers.
No. These plans cover AECO Shield (App 1) — the compliance app that's live today. Bid, Strategic, and Career are separate products in development; when each ships, it will have its own subscription and its own pricing. Nothing on your Shield plan changes when they launch. You may see them as 'Soon' pills in the app switcher once you're logged in — that's the app-family view, not an entitlement claim.
Yes — your audit trail and assessments carry across tiers, and firm-scope data (shared reports, FMP) migrates when a Pro user joins a Firm plan. Manage or change your plan any time via Settings › Billing, which opens the Stripe-hosted customer portal (update card, switch plan, cancel).
Audit records are retained per our published Quality Policy (currently 7 years). Cancellation does not delete historical audit rows; you retain read-only access to your firm’s audit trail for the retention window.
Yes. Every tier runs the same AECO Shield methodology (AI Compliance Score, v3.4) — same 22 questions, same 7 layers, same versioned calibration framework, same version stamp on every audit artifact. Tiers differ by scale, seats, reports, and support — never by rigor.
