Aiera Pricing 2026 with Aiera API Pricing and Seat Cost

Aiera does not publish pricing. It sells through a demo and a sales-quoted contract, with seat licenses for its dashboard, per-feed pricing for its API and custom enterprise packages. No dollar figure for an Aiera seat exists on the public record, from Aiera or from any buyer. The one hard number is in Aiera's own SEC filing: revenue of $5 million to $25 million, which across the nearly 200 client firms Harvard Business School counted in 2024 implies roughly $25,000 to $125,000 per client a year. This guide sets out what can be verified, what cannot, and what the cheaper ways to cover earnings calls actually cost.

How much does Aiera cost?

There is no list price. Aiera's website routes every buyer to "Request A Demo" for enterprise pricing, and the Aiera app on the Apple App Store is a free download that states it is only accessible by Aiera customers. What you can put in a budget today is a short list of facts with very different weights:

The honest answer to the headline question is a range, and a wide one. A single analyst seat will sit well below the per-client average, because that average includes large banks and funds with many users and API feeds. But nothing in the record suggests Aiera is a consumer-priced product, and nothing lets you check a quote against what another buyer paid.

Does Aiera publish pricing?

No, and it has not for several years. From at least mid 2024 until late 2025, Aiera kept a pricing page that described three ways to buy without naming a single amount: a dashboard sold "pay-per-user," an API sold "pay-per-feed," and enterprise components on custom pricing. The page promised "flexible pricing" from enterprise packages to per-seat options. That page has since gone, and the current site offers a demo form in its place.

A 2024 Harvard Business School case on the company, which Aiera hosts on its own site, confirms the front end is "sold as seat subscriptions" and reports seat churn below 5%. It also describes a client base that is about 80% buy-side and net revenue retention of about 140%, which means existing clients were expanding their spend by roughly 40% a year. That is the profile of a product sold to institutions and grown by adding seats inside them, not one built to be bought by an individual with a credit card.

Did Aiera ever have individual pricing?

Yes, briefly. Archived copies of Aiera's site from 2020 and 2021 show "Start Trial" and "View Pricing" buttons leading to a self-serve pricing page inside the dashboard. The archived application code from February 2021 shows plans named Basic, Plus and Premium, paid by card, priced per user, with monthly or annual billing, an annual discount, a default 7-day trial and "Cancel anytime." Accounts with more than 20 seats were pushed to an Enterprise quote.

The dollar amounts themselves were loaded from Aiera's servers and never made it into any archive we could find, and no user report of those prices survives on Reddit, Wall Street Oasis or review sites. So if you read that Aiera "has an individual plan," the tense is wrong. It had one, it was retired, and what replaced it is a sales conversation.

What Aiera's SEC filing reveals about the price

Aiera is private, but it has filed ten Form D notices with the SEC since 2018. The one filed in May 2025, alongside its Series B, is the only public document anywhere that sizes the business: it reports revenue in the $5,000,001 to $25,000,000 band and $17.5 million sold of a $25 million offering. The round was backed by ten Wall Street research firms, among them Bank of America, Barclays, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Evercore, Jefferies and UBS, with Third Bridge and Microsoft alongside. HSBC's own 2025 annual report lists Aiera as an associate in which it holds 2.90%.

Put the filing next to the case study. Nearly 200 client firms against $5 million to $25 million of revenue gives an average of about $25,000 to $125,000 per client a year. Treat that as a bound, not a quote: the two numbers are a year apart, the revenue range is wide by design, and some of that revenue comes from content and API licensing to the same banks that invested. What it does settle is the order of magnitude. Aiera is priced in the same tier as institutional research tools, not the $30 to $300 a month tier of retail platforms.

Is Aiera free?

No. SourceForge lists Aiera with a "Starting Price: Free" and a free version, and that is the source of most search snippets saying Aiera is free. It does not survive a check. The mobile app is free to download, but its App Store listing has no in-app purchases and says it only works for Aiera customers. There is no free tier on Aiera's site and no self-serve signup. Aiera does offer demos, and historically offered trials, but access runs through an account.

How much does Aiera API access cost?

Aiera prices its API per feed, and it does not publish what a feed costs. Its developer documentation issues API keys through your account representative. The same account gates the newer AI routes: Aiera launched an MCP server for Anthropic's Claude in October 2025 and listed an app in ChatGPT's app directory in 2026, and both require you to connect an existing Aiera account. As with Daloopa's API and MCP pricing, the connector inside the assistant is free to find and the data behind it is not.

If what you actually need is the numbers out of the earnings release rather than the call itself, that is a much smaller job: you can convert the release PDF to an Excel spreadsheet and keep the tables in your own model without a per-feed contract.

Cheaper ways to get earnings call coverage

Aiera's edge is live event coverage: real-time audio and transcription across more than 45,000 events a year, human-reviewed transcripts and AI summaries of each call. If you do not need the live part, several tools publish prices for transcripts and summaries after the fact:

The AlphaSense figure comes from Vendr's purchase data, and our AlphaSense cost guide explains how far individual contracts spread around that median. Koyfin sells transcripts from its Plus tier up and discounts annual billing. BamSEC, now owned by AlphaSense, is the cheapest published way to read a transcript next to the filing it refers to.

Is Aiera worth it?

It can be for a buy-side team covering dozens of names through earnings season, where hearing a guidance change ten minutes before the transcript lands is worth real money, and for sell-side and IR teams that need every event in a sector monitored at once. The 140% net revenue retention in the Harvard case suggests clients who adopt it keep adding seats.

It is hard to justify for one person. A retired self-serve plan, a sales-only process and a per-client average in the tens of thousands of dollars all point the same way: Aiera is priced for a desk, not a desk chair. Ask for a written quote that names the seat count, the term, the event universe and any API feed before you compare it with anything else.

What one analyst should buy instead

Start from the job. If you need live audio from every call in your coverage, you need an event platform such as Aiera or Quartr, and you should get both quotes. If you need the read on what a quarter means for a company, the call is one input among several, and the faster route is a structured view of the whole company.

That is what Investables.ai does. Enter a ticker and the research card lays out what the business does, the key market figures and comparables, the bull case, the bear case and the risks, for $49 to $249 a month with no sales call. Our AI earnings call analysis page shows how the card prepares you for a call, and on Pro and Team it links the latest earnings release. If you are comparing AI research platforms more broadly, the same quote-only pattern runs through Hebbia's seat pricing and Rogo's cost per seat, and in each case the data licenses behind the tool matter as much as the tool.

The short version

Aiera has no public price and no self-serve plan. It sells dashboard seats per user, API access per feed and enterprise packages on quote. Its only disclosed financial figure, $5 million to $25 million of revenue across roughly 200 client firms, implies about $25,000 to $125,000 per client a year. Claims that Aiera is free come from one directory listing and are wrong. For transcripts without live coverage, BamSEC and Koyfin publish prices under $100 a month. For a structured first read on a public company, a research card costs less than any of them.
