Per-seat plans for the teams turning research into commercialization decisions — university TTOs and corporate R&D scouts — with a premium PRO layer that adds signals which show their math. No “call us for a quote” games: the prices are on the page.
TTO and Corporate R&D are the base tiers. PRO adds the PRO Insights intelligence layer on top of either one.
University technology-transfer offices. 3-seat minimum — $4,500/yr entry; a typical 5-seat R1 office is $7,500/yr.
Sales-led — seats and procurement. Start with a free sample analysis, no commitment.
Corporate R&D scouts and strategic-intelligence teams. ~$3K/seat/yr; typical $30–75K at 10–25 seats.
Sales-led — for scouting teams. Volume and multi-year terms on request.
From $3,000 / seat / yr (TTO) · $6,000 / seat / yr (Corporate R&D)Proposed
The premium flagship. Adds the PRO Insights intelligence layer on top of a TTO or Corporate R&D base — for teams that want signals which show their math and a strategist that argues back.
Proposed pricing — twice your base tier. Talk to us about a PRO pilot.

PRO Insights — ten deterministic signal families (publication velocity, filing-window read, network concentration, funding posture, cross-domain bridges, disclosed-capital posture, year-over-year publication trend, industry-authorship share, talent mobility, and per-competitor filing pace) — each showing its math, its confidence basis, its sources, and a caveat where the data is thin. On top of them sits the Opus-powered strategist brief: the consensus view, a contrarian thesis, recommended moves with horizons, a scenario watchboard, and a “what would change our mind” panel. PRO turns on all ten families and the strategist brief on every analysis.
Every PRO Insights run — and every successful watched-topic run — records a dated observation into the longitudinal trend store, at most once per topic per day. From the second dated observation onward, PRO dashboards add a dated “Since the last observation” drift panel, and PRO owners’ weekly in-app digest carries a drift line on each paper- or grant-topic watch. Priced at twice your base tier (proposed pricing). See the full PRO showcase →

Discounts: up to 15% with annual prepay on TTO and Corporate R&D; up to 25% on Corporate R&D for 3-year contracts. PRO carries the same prepay terms as its base tier. All PRO pricing shown is our proposed pricing, not a locked rate.
Per-analysis cost is a useful frame for benchmarking against the alternatives.
| Approach | Time per analysis | Cost per analysis | Annual cost (12 analyses) | vs. AI ResearchPartner Corporate R&D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boutique consulting (BCG-style) | 4–6 weeks | $50K–$500K | $600K – $6M | ~10–100× more expensive |
| Patent intelligence (PatSnap, PatentSight+) | 1–2 hours / query | — | Enterprise, quote-only | patent-centric scope; we add grant programs, named PIs & university landscape |
| Internal scout team (1 senior) | 3–4 weeks / report | $15K–$30K loaded | $180K – $360K | ~5–10× more expensive at this volume |
| Generic LLM (ChatGPT Pro) | 5–10 min | $0–$5 | $240 / seat | cheaper but no synthesis, no citations, no decision artifact |
| AI ResearchPartner — Corporate R&D | ~7 minutes | $25–$125† | $30K (10 seats) | — |
† Analyses are unlimited on Corporate R&D, so the flat $30K/yr (10 seats × $3K/seat/yr) is the real cost — not a per-analysis charge. The per-analysis figure is that flat cost spread across a stated volume assumption of 2–10 analyses per seat per month (240–1,200 runs/yr): $30K ÷ 1,200 ≈ $25 at the high end of usage, $30K ÷ 240 ≈ $125 at the low end. The alternatives’ annual column assumes the 12 analyses/yr a manual team can realistically produce.
Analyses are stored against your account in our hosted infrastructure. Nothing is shared with third parties. Corporate R&D engagements add SSO and audit logs as onboarding commitments, plus the option for self-hosted deployment. Email team@airesearchpartner.com for our security overview.
Yes. The platform is designed for sensitive research topics — your analyses are not used to train external models, and you can purge any analysis from your account at any time. On Corporate R&D engagements we add contractual protections scoped to your team.
Every citation is verifiable — click-through links go directly to the source. We validate IPC codes, link patent numbers to the USPTO registry, and surface confidence indicators when something is an LLM-extracted pattern rather than a tool-grounded fact. The platform is opinionated; your domain experts are the validators.
Our patent corpus is USPTO — the full US patent corpus (assignees, inventors, IPC classifications, citation graph). We do not query EPO, WIPO, or national offices directly, so filing-window signals are US filings. Non-US context comes from authoritative web search for worldwide context — analyst notes, industry reports, and the open web — cited like every other claim, but not a substitute for an international patent database. If worldwide filing coverage is a hard requirement, tell us and we'll be honest about the fit.
No on both counts. We're an intelligence layer. For litigation-grade freedom-to-operate, you still want PatSnap or counsel. For TTO workflow (case management, agreements, royalties) you keep your existing case-management system — we handle the analysis layer.
PRO adds the PRO Insights layer on top of a TTO or Corporate R&D base. Our proposed pricing is twice your base tier — from $3,000/seat/yr for TTO teams, or $6,000/seat/yr for Corporate R&D. That's a proposal, not a locked price — talk to us about a PRO pilot.
Yes — send us a topic via the contact form and we'll run a real analysis for you, usually within 24 hours. No commitment. The dashboard is yours to keep.
TTO and Corporate R&D are billed annually per seat, with 30 days notice before renewal. PRO follows its base tier's billing. We don't believe in lock-in — if the product isn't working for you, we'd rather you leave cleanly than churn ugly.
API access is part of the Corporate R&D plan — programmatic dashboard generation, export, and Insights queries, so AI ResearchPartner plugs into your existing competitive-intel stack. It's currently in private beta with early partners; if you have a specific integration use case, email us and we'll talk.
We'll run a real analysis for you — usually back within 24 hours. The dashboard is more persuasive than anything we can write here.
Free sample analysis — no credit card, no sales call. Usually back within 24 hours.
