ArchivEra Pricing

Pricing Built Around Your Archival Collections, Not a Generic Price List

ArchivEra serves single-repository archives and multisite, multinational collections alike—we know that no two archives are configured the same way. Read on to learn what’s available to ArchivEra clients, what actually shapes a quote, and how to find your starting point.

ArchivEra has affordable solutions for archives of every size and budget, with pricing tailored to each institution’s scope and requirements. Cost is based in part on the number of staff who need access and their required access levels, rather than simply the size of your collection or the features you use. This accommodates the needs of large organizations, while giving small teams access to a powerful collections management system. Essentia Program pricing begins as low as $2,500 USD/year; fully-featured pricing begins at $7,500 USD/year.
