Pricing
Priced by the people who change canon. Free for everyone who relies on it.
DragonKeep is licensed per editor seat. Writers, designers, QA, localization, and producers who only need to read, search, and check the record use it free.
Design Partner Pilot
$500
one project · credited in full toward your first annual license
- Canon-risk audit of one agreed corpus, with cited findings
- Hands-on onboarding for your team
- Direct influence on the roadmap
- Success criteria agreed before we start
- Founding partners lock today's seat pricing for two years
Studio
$25
per editor seat / month, billed annually · $30 billed monthly · three-seat minimum
- Viewer seats free — the whole studio can read, search, and get cited answers
- Only the people who change canon need a licensed seat
- Runs on our managed cloud deployment — nothing to install
- Cited Q&A, contradiction checks, governed ChangeSets, audit history

Enterprise & self-hosted
Custom
annual contract · seats only, your own model providers
- Self-hosted deployment on your infrastructure
- Bring your own inference: your API keys or local models
- Multiple titles, studios, or an inherited franchise corpus
- SSO, residency, and support scoped to your environment
- Same product as cloud — teams graduate without migration
The pilot fee is credited in full toward your first annual license — if you convert, the pilot cost you nothing extra. Final invoice timing, deployment, acceptance criteria, and service terms are confirmed in the order form.
DragonKeep Systems
Systems: early access, same structure.
DragonKeep Systems — governed technical documentation — is in early access with design partners. It follows the same model: $39 per dev seat / month billed annually ($49 monthly), viewer seats free, with an included pool of validation runs per seat. CI and automation runs beyond the pool are metered. Self-hosted enterprise deployments run on your own model providers with no metered component.
A real stop option
Buy the next step only when the last one worked.
Stop after the pilot and keep the audit findings. Stop at renewal and export everything. At each close, project content follows the contracted export or deletion path. The reason to stay should be the product, never the exit cost.
Read the pilot scopeSeparately scoped or not standard
- Bespoke integrations beyond the scoped import and export paths
- 24/7 service levels outside enterprise agreements
- SSO/SCIM and custom identity work outside enterprise scope
- Custom residency, hosting, or model-provider costs
- A guarantee that every possible contradiction will be found
Where we are
This is founding pricing, and we say so.
DragonKeep Studio is in its pilot stage. We work with a limited number of design partners at a time, every partner pays, and every partner shapes the product. Prices will rise as the product matures — design partners lock today's rate for two years. No silent scope expansion, no surprise line items.
