KinetiRO Sim is in beta. The price is not set yet, and it will be published here before the beta ends — no quote to request, then or now.
Full access to all functions, for the duration of the beta period, on every account.
No cap on stored projects. Every export format — the PDF drawing,
the Excel mass balance, the project file. It is issued as a
complimentary licence rather than a trial, so nothing expires in a
fortnight. Sealed .eaqua files are the one thing not
included, because they are still being built.
There is no payment method to enter, because there is nothing to charge yet. An email address is the whole of it.
Reports of incorrect results. The recommended method of assessment is to model a plant whose performance is already known and compare the result. KinetiRO publishes the defects its own verification identified in its own code; an addition to that record is less costly than an undetected error.
The verification recordAn account is required to design and calculate. Exporting is part of a licence, and every beta account is licensed until 1 November 2026. The condition is stated here rather than encountered after an hour of unsaved work.
The table states the plans as they will apply after the beta. For the duration of the beta every account holds the Team column.

The price, and the billing terms that go with it — payment methods, billing period, cancellation, and what happens to stored projects when a licence lapses — are published together, before the beta ends. Publishing a price without those is publishing a price that changes at checkout.
Nothing, in the software. Pro and Team unlock exactly the same capability. There is no feature held back from Pro to justify Team, and no feature held back from Team to justify something above it, because there is nothing above it.
The difference is who holds the licence and who administers the seats. On Pro the licence belongs to the engineer. On Team it belongs to the company: an administrator assigns seats and takes them back, and the database refuses to assign more seats than the company has bought, so an over-assignment fails at the server rather than being caught by the interface.
We say this plainly because the usual reason a tool has three tiers
is that the middle one was made worse on purpose. Ours was not, and
the place to check that claim is entitlements.js, which
has exactly two plans in it and treats every kind of licence — a
beta grant, a purchase, a company seat, a complimentary licence — as
the same answer with different words on screen.
A Team licence does not today give colleagues a shared project workspace
Projects are stored on KinetiRO's server under the account that
creates them, encrypted so that KinetiRO cannot read a design
unless the user shares it, and no other user's account can reach
them, so there is nothing shared for a seat to reach; the
calculation itself runs in the browser. Team administers seats,
and that is all it does today. Sealed .eaqua files
are intended to be how a deliverable moves between people, and
they are not built yet either — so the honest answer is that
there is no built-in way to hand work to a colleague right now.
The free plan is not a demonstration with functions withheld. It provides unlimited calculation, every unit operation, every design check and every reference sheet, with five stored projects and no export.
A student verifying a textbook problem, an operator evaluating the effect of a two-day reduction in sludge age, and an engineer checking a proposal received from a third party incur no charge. An organisation issuing a document for which it is accountable requires unlimited storage and an export it can issue under its own name. That is the boundary between the two.
None of the above applies during the beta, when every account holds all functions. It is stated here so that the eventual boundary is known in advance.
Full access for the duration of the beta period, no payment method required, and a price published before the beta concludes.
