PAY FOR THE SAVINGS,
NOT FOR THE PROMISES
QubitBoost gates cut compute on real workloads. Production claims are hardware-validated on IBM Heron and Rigetti silicon, every number traces to an audit file, every dollar of pricing maps to a saving you can measure.

WHY THE PRICING IS SHAPED THIS WAY
Free for academia.
Citations are credibility. Your students become our enterprise customers. We are not running a tax on grant budgets.
Mid-tier for industry R&D.
A pharma PoC saves real money on compute. We charge a fraction of the saving, scaled by backends and seats.
Custom for production.
Production workloads need SLA, indemnity, and audit logs. Pricing is by deployment shape, not list price.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
What counts as commercial use?
Anything that generates revenue, supports product development, or delivers value to customers. Internal R&D at a company is commercial. A published paper is not.
I am at a company but only benchmarking. Do I need Enterprise?
No. Commercial R&D covers internal benchmarking and PoCs. Enterprise is for customer-facing production with SLA.
What is the mandatory citation for Academic?
We provide the citation text. You include it in any paper that uses QubitBoost-governed results. That is how peer review becomes our credibility.
Can I upgrade mid-license?
Yes, contact sales. We pro-rate.
What happens if I use Academic for commercial work?
The license voids. We may invoice retroactively at Commercial R&D rates. Do not do it.
How does Commercial R&D price scale?
Number of backends, seats, and execution volume. Most engagements land EUR 25k to 80k per year. Get a quote in 24h.
Do you offer a paid trial that converts?
7-day technical trial converts directly to whichever tier you sign.
