A real evaluation with your own catalog sample. We help your team run an actual acquisition cycle on Libramind — discovery to export — and measure the results.
Librarians do hundreds of searches per acquisition cycle. Counting them creates anxiety and pushes the wrong behavior — staff "saving" queries to stay under a cap. Libramind is priced by collection size, named users, and modules. Search is unlimited at every tier.
Search freely. Decide carefully. The platform pays for itself in selector time saved, not by counting clicks.
What shapes your quote
Three things — none of them "AI queries".
We aim for a price your CFO can defend and your acquisitions team won't notice. Here's the math behind it.
01
Collection size
How many titles you actively manage — the catalog Libramind keeps fresh, monitors for new editions, and matches against requests.
02
Named user seats
How many librarians, selectors, and admins need their own login with workflow assignments and approval roles. (Patrons don't count — that's free.)
03
Modules & integrations
Which features you turn on (MARC export, AI justifications, advanced analytics) and what your stack looks like (ILS, LSP, SSO, audit, data residency).
Pricing FAQ
Common questions before the call.
Is there a free trial?+
Two free on-ramps: a self-serve Sandbox Demo with sample data, and a guided Pilot (30–60 days) with your own catalog sample. Both are free. We don't do credit-card-required 14-day trials — libraries don't buy that way.
How many AI searches do I get?+
Unlimited at every paid tier. The Sandbox Demo is capped at 50 searches over 30 days so we can serve many evaluators at once, but every Essential, Professional, and Enterprise plan has unlimited search. We don't meter usage.
Do you charge a percentage of our acquisition budget?+
No. We charge a flat subscription. Some library vendors tie pricing to your acquisition spend — we think that creates a conflict of interest (their incentive is to nudge you toward more purchases). Libramind's revenue doesn't depend on what you buy.
Can we move between tiers later?+
Yes. Upgrade at any time and pay the pro-rata difference. Downgrade at renewal. We don't lock libraries into multi-year contracts unless you want one (some institutions request a 3-year price lock — happy to do that too).
What about consortia pricing?+
Consortia and state networks get a custom Enterprise plan with central administration and per-library cost-sharing. Talk to us — we've shaped this for groups from 5 to 200+ branches.
Why don't you publish prices?+
Because no two libraries are the same. A 12-branch public system and a single-campus college can both fit the Professional tier — but the right price for each is meaningfully different. We'd rather have a 30-minute call and quote you accurately than publish a number that's wrong for your library.
