How much does AuViScan cost?
Nothing. Right now.
An open letter on pricing
We are three Nigerian engineers who incorporated AuViScan in March 2025. Today we have 947 free beta users and three small enterprise pilots that pay us about $5,800 a month.
The honest answer to how much does AuViScan cost for an individual or a small team is: nothing, right now.
When we publish prices, every beta user who logged in at least once gets the founding rate locked at -50% for twelve months.
When we ship paid tiers (target Q4 2026, conditional on our AWS Activate Portfolio credit application landing) we will publish Starter, Pro, Business, and Enterprise pricing in roughly the range you would expect for a moderation API. We have not committed to numbers. We will not, until the day we ship them.
What we will commit to: every beta user gets the founding rate at half off our public prices for twelve months from launch day. No tricks, no upsells, no auto- conversion to a tier you did not pick. You helped us build this. You get the founding rate.
Enterprise is the only exception. If you run a platform with real moderation volume and want a contract before public pricing exists, write to us today. The conversation is open.
Bootstrapped. No pre-seed, no angels, no grant cycle. Just three founders and a CLI prototype that grew up.
AuViScan is not a funded company. We have an approved AWS Activate Founders-tier credit (modest, mostly burned through already), three enterprise pilot contracts at about $5,800 a month that cover the cloud bill but not yet our salaries, and a Portfolio-tier application pending. The Portfolio credit is what decides whether we can serve every user who has signed up, or whether we have to gate new beta seats while we hand-tune the queue. If you are an AWS person reading this and you can move that application along: please do.
For the open beta the price is zero. For enterprise the conversation is open today.

A standard tier ladder, priced in the range you would expect for a moderation API. We will not publish numbers until the day we ship them.
Plain-language answers.
What does "free during beta" actually mean?
Free. No card on file, no trial countdown, no paywall. You can use every feature including highlights, custom policies, and the audit log. We rate-limit at the platform level if a single user pushes pipeline-scale traffic during beta, but otherwise: it is free in the plain English sense.
When will you actually start charging?
Target Q4 2026. Conditional on our AWS Activate Portfolio credit application landing in time. If it slips, we will email you with a new date before we charge anyone.
What does the founding rate cover?
Every beta user who logged in at least once during open beta gets -50% off our public prices, locked for 12 months from launch day. No tricks, no upsells, no auto-conversion to a higher tier. If you helped us build this, you pay half.
Do you do enterprise contracts now, before launch?
Yes. Three are already running at roughly $1.8-2.2K/mo each. Each platform gets a tuned policy, an SLA, and a direct line to Femi. If you want to be the fourth, write to founders@auviscan.com.
Where can I see your eventual prices?
Nowhere yet. We have not committed to numbers. Once we have a shippable model we will publish on this page and email every beta user two weeks before it goes live.
Why aren’t you charging now?
Two reasons. One, we want feedback loops without payment friction. Reviewers will tell us more about a verdict if they did not pay for it. Two, we are bootstrapped from founder savings and applying for AWS Activate Portfolio credits. Until those land, our infrastructure is not ready to handle paid SLAs.
