Pricing · draft
No tier based on the number of assets, no surcharge per notation, no module sold separately. You pay for authors — the people who read do not count, and there is no limit on them.
Solo and Atelier can be tried for 30 days, no credit card. To subscribe, an order form and a bank transfer on invoice: write to us, we answer within one business day. Card payment is coming. They can also be subscribed online, by card: choose the billing period and the number of authors. Studio and Cabinet, or payment by bank transfer on an order form: write to us.

Prices excluding VAT: per year and paid once for Solo; for the team plans, per month with no minimum term, or per year with a 10% discount. An author is someone who creates or modifies; viewing, commenting and exporting consume no licence. The applicable conditions are in the terms of sale.
For an architecture or modelling course: a class link creates one workspace per student, the teacher hands out assignments, collects submissions, grades them and publishes the grades after the deadline. Pricing on request, depending on the institution and the number of students. Write to us.
Because one euro a month filters, and that is its only purpose. A free sign-up costs nothing to abandon: you end up with thousands of empty workspaces, a clogged support queue, and no signal at all about what anyone actually cares about. Twelve euros a year do not protect our revenue — they protect your attention and ours.
In exchange, Solo is not a crippled version: the thirty-one canvases, the repository, the checks and the complete export are all there, with no notation held back. What is missing are the functions that only make sense as a team, and the agent workshop, which costs money on every call.
Because an architecture tool at a few euros a head reassures nobody. A manager who has to defend a choice to their IT department needs a credible budget line, not an expense hidden in overheads — and a price that looks too good raises the question of what happens in two years.
The benchmark is simple: enterprise architecture suites are negotiated an order of magnitude above this table, standalone modelling tools an order of magnitude below. We are in the middle, and that is exactly where the product sits.
We would rather say it here than at the third meeting.
Cartano does not plug into ServiceNow, Azure or your CMDB yet. The repository is filled by CSV/JSON import, or by hand. If your first need is to synchronise an existing inventory, an architecture suite will serve you better today — tell us, and we will tell you so too.
Having 200 records confirmed by 200 owners, with reminders, is not tooled for. It is on the plan; it is not here.
No ready-made library of business capabilities by industry. The meta-model is extensible without development, but you start from your own taxonomy.
The agent workshop runs on your own model key, or on ours at cost, re-invoiced. No hidden margin on tokens.
Your choice, for Atelier, Studio and Cabinet: monthly, with no lock-in, or yearly, with a 10% discount. Solo is paid yearly. You leave when you want, with your data — the complete export is a function of the product, not a favour.
Someone who creates or modifies a document. Viewing, commenting and exporting consume no licence: readers are unlimited and free, on every plan, Solo included.
You export the entire workspace — documents, repository, layouts — in a documented format, and the Git mirror hands you files that are readable without Cartano. The round trip is verified by our tests, not merely promised.
In France, at OVH, by default. On a dedicated instance or against your own database on the Cabinet plan. We document the latency, the outbound traffic and what it costs.
Yes: 30 days, no credit card, for Solo and Atelier — start the trial. At the end, without a subscription, the workspace becomes read-only: everything stays viewable and exportable for thirty days, then the space is deleted (you are warned 48 hours beforehand).
For Studio and Cabinet we would rather offer a thirty-minute demo on your own cases: an unaccompanied trial of an architecture product often ends in an empty workspace and a distorted opinion.
By bank transfer, on invoice, at thirty days — on an order form. Solo is paid once for the year, €12 excl. VAT. Card payment will be offered soon.
Solo and Atelier are paid online, by card, through Stripe: you choose the number of authors and the period — monthly, or yearly with a 10% discount. Solo is paid once for the year, €12 excl. VAT. Studio and Cabinet, or any plan paid by bank transfer: on an order form and invoice, at thirty days — write to us.
Beyond ten authors, yes. Let's talk.
