Founding pricing
Priced so every institution can belong.
One activation fee, one low monthly subscription, no per-volunteer charges. Founding-cohort pricing is locked in for charter members.
Cataloging-only tools like PastPerfect (~$50/mo) or CatalogIt ($54–96/mo) charge similar money for collection records alone. Essentials starts under both — and includes digital exhibits, a 3D tour, loans & conservation tracking, and an AI Museum Coach they don't offer at any price.
