Pricing

Pay for processing.
Keep every recovered byte.

Saar charges for completed processing, not for promises. Smart format-aware jobs are priced per job, large streams are priced per GiB, and failed jobs are free. Prices are in USD. Singapore prices include GST; tax is calculated at checkout where applicable.

How credits work

Only completed work counts.

Smart jobs

Files up to 512 KiB on Balanced or Maximum use the format-aware tournament. A completed job costs 1 credit on Balanced or 2 on Maximum.

Streaming

Larger files use resumable streaming. Fast, Balanced and Maximum consume 0.2, 0.5 and 1 credit per GiB of input respectively.

Restore and failure

Restore consumes 0.1 credit per GiB of encoded input. Failed, rejected and expired jobs consume nothing.

Hard stop

Processing stops at the included allowance. Customers can top up prepaid credits, or enable payable overage with a monthly USD cap.

Evaluation

A 14-day evaluation includes 10 credits and requires a card. It does not renew automatically.

Integrity

Every completed output is verified against the original bytes. Integrity checking is not encryption, authentication or a security certification.

Add-ons

Only when you need more.

Credit top-ups are self-serve. Seats, retention, priority queue, storage and egress are quoted or enabled with a plan; self-serve purchase for every add-on is still rolling out.

Credit top-ups

$0.12 per credit

Prepaid packs of 100, 500, 2000 credits. They expire after 12 months.

Seats

$15 per seat/month

For Business and Enterprise accounts, once shared organizations are available.

Retention

$10 per additional 30 days

Extend private output retention beyond the plan default.

Priority queue

$30/month

Licensing

Hosted and embedded are separate.
