Specialist workflow coverage: Axial and lateral pile, pile-group, pile-cap and section analysis
Deep Excavation Suite
Embedded-wall soil-structure interaction & staged construction
1 analysis, on top of the 165 included with every plan

Honest answers
No SOON badges. No fine-print surprises. If something doesn't answer your question, email hello@terrabrains.ai.
How does the 1-month free trial work?
New workspaces begin with a 1-month trial of the Team feature set. A card is required to start the trial, but you are not charged for 30 days. Before the trial ends, choose a paid plan in Settings → Billing or cancel before the charge date. Cancellation and data-handling terms are governed by the Terms and Privacy Policy.
What happens after the month?
Choose a paid tier (Solo, Studio, Team, or Enterprise) in Settings → Billing before the trial charge date. If you cancel before that date, you pay nothing. Subscription, cancellation, and data-handling terms are described in the Terms and Privacy Policy.
Annual vs monthly — what's the real difference?
Annual billing saves 17% — you pay for 10 months and get 12, billed as one annual invoice. Monthly billing is more flexible at the published monthly rate.
What if I exceed my quota mid-month?
Quotas are hard limits at the database level — the trigger refuses the write if you're at the cap. The UI surfaces a warning when you hit 80% of any limit (active projects, seats, AI queries). You can upgrade instantly from /settings/billing — the change takes effect on the next API call, no downtime, no migration.
Refunds and cancellation
Cancel at any time from /settings/billing — your subscription stays active until the end of the period you've paid for (so a monthly cancel keeps access until the next bill date, annual until the anniversary). We don't prorate refunds on partial months. If something goes wrong on our end, email hello@terrabrains.ai and we'll work with you to make it right.
Can I export my data if I leave?
Yes — AGS 4.x and DIGGS 2.x export is available on every paid tier (and the Student tier). You can export supported project data and download files available in your workspace. Audit-chain hashes can be exported so a third party can independently verify provenance.
How does the Enterprise plan work?
Enterprise is self-serve at $1,999/mo for the whole organisation: 50 seats included (then +$50/seat), unlimited projects, the 165-analysis base catalogue (the 48 specialist analyses in the 4 optional packs are priced separately), AI features, full SHA-256 audit-chain export, and SSO sign-in (Google / Microsoft). A draft DPA and custom procurement can be discussed with us. Single-tenant or on-prem deployments require a separate written scope.
What about volume discounts?
Volume discounts are built into the per-seat pricing. The /pricing calculator shows the effective per-seat price live as you move the slider. Stacks with the 17% annual discount.
