Pro is for the plant engineer, the sourcing manager and the contractor who reads. Desk is for a team. Institutional is for the developer, the fund or the OEM strategy group that wants the data itself: every row with its history and source filing, alerts when a filing changes one, the API and the MCP server for the firm, an onboarding call and analyst access. Institutional is $1,500 a month or $15,000 a year per firm, by card above or by invoice from hello@open-factory.com.
Group and corporate discounts on Pro: 20 percent for five or more seats. No trial. Cancel any time.
Paying by card
Pro, Desk and Institutional check out on Stripe and your account opens the moment Stripe sends you back, with the first API key shown once. The receipt, the card and cancellation are on the manage page. Desk asks for the seat count at checkout, one to fifty, and prices four or more at 25 percent off. Institutional is per firm with up to 5 keys, and can be invoiced instead: write to hello@open-factory.com.
Questions
Is there a trial?
No. The free part of every article is the trial.
Can my team share a seat?
Pro is per person; five or more seats get 20 percent off. Desk is per seat with 25 percent off at four or more. Institutional is per firm.
What is in Institutional that is not in Desk?
The data itself: the turbine order register row by row with its history and source filings, the bid-tab award rows, every lead-time edition, an email alert when an 8-K changes a tracked row, and the API and MCP server with up to 5 keys for the firm, plus an onboarding call and analyst access.
What happens right after I pay?
Stripe sends you back to this site, your account opens on the spot with your first API key shown once, and the full articles, the API and the MCP server unlock for that key. A welcome mail with the example calls follows. No waiting on us.
How do I pay?
Card, through Stripe, for Pro, Desk and Institutional; the buttons above open checkout. Desk seats are chosen at checkout and four or more price at 25 percent off automatically. Institutional can also be invoiced: write to hello@open-factory.com. Cancel any time from the manage page.
