Priced on answers hosted, not on how hard you work in one month
Everything that decides whether an answer is any good — Company Brain, Theme Canvas, the Answer Machine, Search Console and analytics — is in the free plan. What you pay for is scale, branding, conversion and the team around it.

Self-serve. If you want us to do the first sprint, that is Managed.
Managed
You would rather we did it. We run the first sprint and keep it moving.
- A first sprint: Company Brain, Theme Canvas, your first batch of answers live
- A monthly session to add new answers and optimise the existing ones
- Reporting written by a person, not a dashboard export
- Everything in Pro
Scoped per company — the first sprint is real work on both sides.
Answer AgentAI
An assistant on your hub that only says what you published.
- Answers from your published answers, and links to the one it used
- Hands over to a person when it cannot find one — never invents
- Logs every question it could not answer, with the trend behind it
- Question insights feed straight back into what to answer next
- Captures the lead inside the conversation
The rest of AnswerLink costs us something when you publish. The Agent costs us something on every visitor who talks to it — so it is priced on its own rather than hidden in a plan.

The questions we would ask
Why is the limit answers hosted rather than answers per month?
Because an answer keeps working after the month you wrote it. A monthly quota charges you for the burst of effort and nothing for the asset it produced, which is backwards. Twenty-five answers is enough to find out whether this works for your market; five hundred is more than most companies will ever have questions for.
Why is the Company Brain in the free plan?
Because charging for the research would mean selling worse answers to smaller companies. Everything that decides whether an answer is any good — your confirmed knowledge, your themes, the real questions, the pre-publish checks — is in Free. What you pay for is scale, branding, conversion and the team around it.
Why is the Answer Agent priced separately?
Different cost shape. The rest of AnswerLink costs us something when you publish; the Agent costs us something on every visitor who talks to it. Folding it into a plan would either make the plan expensive for companies who never switch it on, or make us quietly ration it. Forty-nine a month on any plan, included in Managed.
What do I actually get in the Managed first sprint?
We sit down and build the Company Brain with you, map the Theme Canvas, and get a first batch of answers written, checked and live on your domain. After that it is a monthly session: what came in through search and the Agent, what to answer next, what to improve, and a written report. Scoped per company, because the first sprint is real work on both sides.
Do you charge per user?
No — plans include a number of users rather than metering them. The product is built around a person confirming records and approving answers; charging for the second reviewer would be charging you to use it properly.
What happens to my answers if I leave?
They are on your domain and they stay there — you export the pages and the hub keeps serving until you point the CNAME elsewhere. Your leads export too. There is no version of this where your content is hostage to a subscription.
How honest are you about what is finished?
Every feature on this site carries its state, and so does this table. Anything marked Planned is not shipped and is not invoiced as though it were.
Prices exclude VAT and are shown in euros. AnswerLink is built and run by M7 in the Netherlands.
