Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about plans, features, and how ConductCognition fits into your research workflow.
Who is ConductCognition for?
Academic, nonprofit, biotech, pharmaceutical, CRO, health-tech, and sponsored research teams running browser-based cognitive studies.
What is included in the free tier?
Free Researcher is free to start: building studies, previews and practice runs are free, and every account gets 10 free participants on any of the 547 tests. After that, each participant costs $0.99 for academic and nonprofit research. The free plan includes up to 3 active studies, one researcher, automated scoring, norms where supported, the Study Quality Monitor, score and trial-level CSV exports and the two-study comparison CSV.
How does pay as you go work?
Every account gets 10 free participants. After that, free academic accounts pay $0.99 per participant on any of the 547 tests: each participant uses one credit, once, however many tests they take. Credits come in packs of 25 for $24.75, 100 for $99, 500 for $399, 2,000 for $1,299.
What does Academic Research unlock?
Academic Research is $249 for one year or $599 for three prepaid years. It includes all 547 tests, 300 participants per year, trial-level CSV and Clock Drawing JSON exports, participant pages in eight languages, adjustable task settings, and normative comparison where source-backed support exists. Participants beyond the yearly allowance use credits.
What do the larger plans cost?
Academic Department is $1,999 a year ($4,799 for three prepaid years) for 3,000 participants a year and 10 researchers. Academic Institution is $6,499 a year ($15,599) with unlimited participants under fair use. Commercial Research is $1,499 a year ($3,599 for three prepaid years) for 1,000 participants a year and 3 researchers, Commercial Team is $3,499 a year ($8,399), and Enterprise / CRO starts at $9,999 a year.
How does commercial pay as you go work?
Commercial and sponsored research can pay $2.49 per participant instead of buying a yearly plan, for any of the 547 tests, with scores, norms where supported and trial-level export. Each participant uses one credit, once, whatever the number of tests. Commercial credits come in packs of 25 for $62.25, 100 for $249, 500 for $999, 2,000 for $2,999, and need no eligibility statement.
Who qualifies for academic pricing?
Academic and nonprofit pricing, including academic credit packs, is for independently funded, publication-oriented work that is not commercially sponsored, used for product development or regulatory submission, or restricted for a for-profit sponsor. Sponsored university or hospital studies use commercial pricing: a commercial plan or commercial credit packs.
Is this a clinical diagnostic product?
No. ConductCognition is designed for research use only and should not be used as a diagnostic or regulated-clinical system.
Can we pay by purchase order or institutional invoice?
Yes. Department, Institution, Commercial Research, Commercial Team, Enterprise, and all three-year licenses use a PO or invoice quote. Academic Research one-year licenses and participant credits, academic and commercial, can also be bought by card. One-year Academic Department, Academic Institution and Commercial Research licenses can also be bought on conductscience.com.
