AI CostGuard

This page is in English; the product is not. The directory entries, the customer portal and the contract annexes are in German, and contracts are governed by German law. What that means.

KI-Radar · Pricing

Looking things up is free. Proving it is not.

Checking which AI tools meet which requirements costs you nothing — the full directory, no usage limit. You pay when we build your AI register under the EU AI Act, keep it current, and issue the record that goes with it.

Who each offer is for

This list is ordered by who you are, not by what things cost. You know your situation; working out which tier fits is our job. Everything we offer is here — including what costs nothing, and what we only do once.

What you buy here is the evidence layer of your AI governance: register, classification under the AI Act, verified vendor statements and a dated record. Approval workflows, policies and the duties for high-risk systems are not part of it — set out on the home page.

Companies that use AI

Does someone at your company have to be able to prove which AI you use? If the answer is yes, you need a maintained register and a dated record. If it is no, you need the directory — and nothing else.

Vendors of AI tools

Your tool is in the directory — is the entry right? It was created from public sources without your involvement. You can evidence it or dispute it; the assessment itself stays ours.

Your situationWhat fitsPrice, net
The entry is there anyway. It should be correct. Vendor programme — verified profile, document changelog, right of objection with evidence review €290
/ year
I want the claims checked against the original documents. In-depth review — DPA, processing location, training commitments, certificates €990
one-off
Independence principle. A vendor can commission a review — never an outcome. Assessments are not for sale. Inclusion in the directory is and remains free and independent of any participation in the vendor programme. That is why this sits next to the price rather than three sections further down.

The three tiers in detail

For anyone who already knows they need the register. What differs is the scope of application, not the set of services.

Founding terms. For contracts concluded before 31 December 2026, these prices are guaranteed for 24 months from the start date — including through the first renewal. Beyond that, existing contracts are protected: price adjustments apply only to newly concluded contracts.

What is in which tier

The dividing line is not volume. It is the register: looking things up is free, the maintained record is not.

What you do not get

This is here because vendors who leave it out have to explain it expensively later.

Not legal advice

We record, monitor and document. Classifications under the AI Act are professional assessments to prepare your own decisions. Binding assessment remains with your legal counsel.

No promised saving

If a vendor changes its prices you get a note. Whether a switch suits your use case is not part of this contract.

No warranty for third-party statements

We reproduce what was publicly demonstrable at the time of checking — with date and source. The vendor's own statements remain authoritative.

No completeness without you

A register contains what you tell us about. Tools we never hear of cannot be recorded — which is why we ask when setting up.

Common questions

Why is the directory free?

Because it is only worth something once many people look into it. The review work happens anyway. What you pay for is not the lookup but your own register: built, maintained and provable.

How is it billed?

Annually in advance by invoice, payable within 14 days net. No card payment, no direct debit. Monthly payment is available on request with a 10 % surcharge — €273.90 for Pro and €649.00 for Max.

How long does the contract run?

12 months from the start date, renewing by a further 12 months unless terminated with three months' notice to the end of the term. The free KI-Radar account has no commitment.

Can prices rise during my term?

No. Adjustments apply only to newly concluded contracts — your contract keeps the prices of the price list version in force at signature, which is named in the contract. Changes take effect at renewal at the earliest and are notified three months in advance; you can then terminate within four weeks. For contracts before 31 December 2026 prices are additionally guaranteed for 24 months.

What if we have more than five entities?

Each further entity beyond five costs €129 net per month. The consolidated group roll-up covers them.

Where is our data processed?

Your register data does not leave the European Union — operated from a data centre in Finland, notifications through a provider in Germany. For payment processing we use Stripe; only invoicing data goes there, never anything from your register. The full list is at subprocessors (in German).

What happens to our data if we terminate?

Within 30 days of the end of the contract you can request all data in a common, machine-readable format, and the issued records additionally as PDF. After that they are deleted.

Starting costs nothing
