FAQ

Questions researchers ask before they subscribe.

Can I try Kasvu Discovery for free?

Yes. The Explorer plan is free forever with no card required, and includes 150 KDU per month, all 20+ science features, sub-agents with confidence scoring, and systematic reviews of any size. Paid plans additionally come with a 30-day free trial on your first subscription, and you can cancel anytime.

What is a KDU?

A KDU, or Kasvu Discovery Unit, is the credit the platform spends when it does work for you. Every action draws from your monthly allocation, and heavier analyses cost more than simple lookups. Plans include 150 to 1,500 KDU per month, and Enterprise is unlimited.

Who qualifies for the Academic plan?

University researchers and PhD students with a verified institutional email address. Academic costs €19 per month, includes 350 KDU, and adds PDF report export, slide deck generation, and PRISMA with citation export. It covers non-commercial research only, and non-institutional emails route through a manual approval queue.

What does the Researcher plan include?

Researcher costs €49 per month, or €35 per month billed annually, and includes 1,000 KDU per month. On top of Academic it adds patent search, Hot Targets competitive intelligence, patent watchlists with alerts, and shareable query links. No institutional email is required.

What is the difference between Professional and Team?

Professional costs €325 per month per license, includes 1,000 KDU, and adds a priority queue, publication-ready exports, and priority support. Team costs €659 per month for up to 10 seats, includes 1,500 KDU per seat, and adds collaborative projects, a shared Canvas workspace, usage analytics, and private data uploads.

How many data sources does Kasvu Discovery query?

More than 60 integrated biomedical databases, spanning genome, transcriptome, proteome, phenome, therapeutics, ontologies and literature, and visualization. Kasvu Discovery queries them live rather than relying on frozen training data, and links every claim to a real PMID, NCT identifier, or database record.

How is Kasvu Discovery different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT answers from a training set frozen at a cut-off date. Kasvu Discovery runs live queries against 60+ research data sources through specialist sub-agents, cites every claim with a PMID, NCT, or database record, and generates publication-ready figures such as Manhattan and volcano plots.

Does Kasvu Discovery sell my research data?

No. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Selling your personal data is not part of the business. Your queries, uploads, and findings are treated as your work, with access limited to what is needed to operate, support, and secure the platform.

What is included in the Enterprise plan?

Enterprise is quoted per organisation and is built for pharma, large biotech, CROs, and hospital systems. It includes unlimited KDU and adds SSO and SAML with HIPAA support, audit logs, custom agents, API access, an on-premise option, and a dedicated customer success manager.

Is it cheaper to pay annually?

Yes. Annual billing brings Academic to €14 per month billed at €164 per year, Researcher to €35 billed at €423, Professional to €234 billed at €2,808, and Team to €474 billed at €5,694. That saves 28% against paying month to month on every paid plan.
