Included in every tier

Enterprise-grade by default.

Every Archipath deployment ships with the same governance, security, and intelligence features. The tier you pick determines scale and enterprise services — never which controls protect your data.

In most cases, names, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, and card and account numbers are masked before your company's prompts reach the AI provider.
Custom sensitive-term blocklist
Prompts are sent only through provider APIs whose business terms prohibit training on your data.
Immutable compliance audit trail
Multi-provider AI · Claude · GPT · Gemini · Bedrock
4-tier intelligent cost routing
Action approval workflow
Knowledge base with document upload
Response caching · cost deduplication
LLM-as-judge quality evaluation
Versioned routing rules
HSTS · CSP · AES-256-GCM at rest
Managed deployment (we run the infra)
Dedicated instance per company · cloud isolation is not automatic
TOTP two-factor authentication
Replacement value

One platform replaces five vendors.

Today, assembling Archipath's capabilities means buying 4–5 separate tools or building custom. The math speaks for itself.

Governance layer · Credo / Holistic$50–150K
Data connectors · custom dev$25–100K
PII protection · separate tool$20–50K

Beyond the platform

Three things customers care about most.

For many firms, routing lowers model-provider spend; the methodology engagement helps customers get value from the AI Index and Institutional AI layers.

BYOK · bring your own keys

Direct provider relationships

You maintain direct contracts with AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, AWS Bedrock). You control your API keys, your usage, your provider relationships. Archipath is the governance layer — not an AI reseller.

Routing that lowers model spend

Measured, not promised

Archipath routes simple work to lightweight models and reserves premium models for work that needs them. Your actual savings depend on your workload mix, provider pricing and quality bar. We baseline your spend in the first measurement period and report the difference.

Exstrata · 90-day engagement

$25–75K · structured rollout

The proprietary AI-SDD methodology for AI adoption. 90 days, three phases: foundation, gates and governance, then scale and prove. Measurable outcomes, board-ready metrics.

FAQ

Common pricing questions.

Most questions land on the same six things. The short answers are below; the long version is a 30-minute walkthrough.

Why flat pricing instead of per-user?

Governance only works when it covers your entire firm. Per-seat pricing creates an incentive to restrict who gets access — leaving unprotected employees using ungoverned AI with no audit trail. Flat tier pricing means every employee gets governed AI. Your tier is based on firm size; everyone is in.

Who pays for the LLM API costs?

You do — directly. You bring your own API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, AWS Bedrock) and maintain your own contracts. Archipath is a license for the governance, routing, and connectivity layer, not an AI reseller. Routing is designed to lower provider spend; we measure the effect with you rather than quoting a fixed percentage.

How is Archipath deployed?

This release expects a dedicated routing instance and independent storage for each company. The software does not create cloud isolation by itself, and customer-cloud containment is not assumed. Day 1: log in and add API keys. Week 1: configure roles and review the first compliance logs.

Is there a free trial?

We run a design partner program for early adopters: 30–50% off Year 1 in exchange for case study and reference rights. We also run 30-minute live demos where you can see retrieval, connectivity, action approval, and compliance logging in action. Book a walkthrough to get started.

What if we outgrow our tier?

Upgrading is seamless. Data, configurations, audit history, and knowledge base carry forward. Moving from Professional to Enterprise is a contract change — nothing technical changes in the deployment.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Multi-year commitments, large user counts, and multi-deployment agreements all qualify for custom pricing. Strategic tier customers receive fully customized terms.
