Pricing.
ASSESS and verification are free. Every asset, every environment, every caller — $0, no account, unlimited. Scoring is a calculator, not an attestation; credentials are what we charge for. Both tools are on the homepage. Platform, PAYG and Audit are priced in US dollars; Exposure is a European services engagement priced in euro.
Exposure (services engagement)
The Exposure Review service — a structural review of the AI licensing arrangements you have already signed. Priced in euro and sold separately from the platform — different product, different buyer. Available in Europe only; not currently offered in the USA.

PAYG (per rights manifest, per license)

How a license is placed on the Low / Medium / High / Premium-edge ladder above. For one-off or low-volume issuance without a bundle subscription; ~98% of expected volume sits on the Standard path.
What low / medium / high complexity means.
Most real-world rights configurations land in Medium or High. Low is for genuinely simple, single-jurisdiction, no-condition licenses — uncommon in regulated procurement and almost never the shape of content that needs LicenseFoundry's attestation in the first place.
| Complexity | Definition | Example | Per-license |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 1–2 rights, uniform jurisdiction, no scope conditions, general content | Public-domain illustration, train: yes |
$0.13 |
| Medium | 3–5 rights, single jurisdiction lens (EU OR US OR California), basic scope conditions, general content | Stock photo for training with attribution required, no commercial sub-license | $0.85–$1.25 |
| High | 5–7 rights + multiple scope conditions, multi-jurisdiction lens, OR regulated-sector content (health, financial, defence) | Industry photography, audit-trail required, EU + US + California lenses | $1.50–$2.50 |
| Premium-edge | High + children's data, biometrics, or Article-9 special categories | Educational imagery with COPPA + GDPR-K + minor-consent metadata | $2.50–$3.25 |

Overage rules.
License overage above bundle total → auto-upgrade with
proration (Model B) when sustained. Premium-edge issuance
without allowance (Starter only) bills at PAYG rate
($2.50–$3.25/license) for one-off use; sustained usage
triggers a soft upgrade prompt to Growth. Hard constraint:
licenses ≤ credentials in any period — you
can't license content you haven't credentialed.

Standard (automated): LicenseFoundry attests that (a) the issuer's identity has been verified; (b) the rights claims have been reviewed against the asset metadata and any corroborating evidence the publisher supplied via automated cross-reference; (c) no red flags appeared in our automated pre-issuance check. Does not include human review of specific rights claims, render legal opinion, or indemnify against third-party claims.
Named-Analyst Review: includes all elements of Standard plus (a) review by a named LicenseFoundry analyst; (b) written commentary on edge cases; (c) sign-off by the named analyst.
Qualified-Counsel Review: includes all elements above plus (a) legal review by qualified counsel; (b) multi-page attestation document suitable for use as evidence; (c) named-analyst and named-counsel sign-off. Indemnification terms negotiated per contract.
