# A clearer pricing page

> The pricing page now leads with what researchers say, groups Pro by what you actually do, and states the free trial and money-back guarantee up front.

*Update, 15 October 2026: the trial and the Founding Scholar edition described here have changed. The edition closed once all 100 seats were claimed, and every new account now starts with seven days of Pro, no card. See [Every new account starts with 7 days of Pro](/changelog/seven-days-of-pro-for-everyone).*

We rebuilt the pricing page so the decision is easier to make in a minute.

## What changed

- **Proof first.** A researcher's own words sit above the plans, so you can see how Alfred fits real work before you look at a price.
- **Pro, front and center.** The plan most scholars choose is now the clear starting point, with everything it includes grouped by what you do with it: ask and verify, discover and track, write and submit.
- **No surprises at the button.** The free 3-day trial (no credit card required), the 7-day money-back guarantee, and cancel-anytime are stated right where you decide.
- **The price, in context.** A quiet note puts a month of Pro next to everyday costs, because a world-class research workflow should be within reach.

The Founding Scholar lifetime edition and the Campus plan for departments are still here, and every workspace still starts with a free trial.
