Research & search · pricing
ConceptSeek suits researchers, students and journalists who need exact, timestamped passages across many videos, podcasts and PDFs instead of a generated summary.
ConceptSeek has no permanent free plan. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and after that you pay. The three paid tiers are priced per month but billed annually: Starter at $7.5, Pro at $15.8 and Max at $32.5. What changes between them is capacity, measured in libraries, sources per library and monthly credits, since searching consumes credits.
Starter gives you 5 libraries, 20 sources per library and 1,000 credits per month, with cross-library search limited to 2 libraries. Pro raises that to 25 libraries, 80 sources per library and 3,000 credits, and makes cross-library search unlimited. Max offers unlimited libraries, 500 sources per library, 10,000 credits, a priority processing queue and early access to new features. There is also an optional one-time $25 Supporter contribution.
