Event services
€1,250 event preparation
Intake, event design, workspace setup, themes and tags. Covers one event format — additional prep for multiple formats is quoted separately.
€1,250 per event day
We attend (in-person or remote), run live analysis, and deliver a structured report. Software, multilingual transcription, and event support included. Travel costs quoted separately.
We will do whatever we can to make your event a success.
Pro
A year of dembrane, paid once. A full seat for each person who works with dembrane's AI, free for everyone who follows along, or the organisation licence for everyone.
Full seats
For the people who work with the AI
Set up projects, ask what was said, make and publish reports. As many events, hours and participants as you like, all year.
€2,160 a seat a year
Observers
Everyone else
Read projects, conversations and reports, without the AI. As many observers as you like.
Free
Organisation licence
For everyone at your organisation
Everyone has a full seat, under fair use, with single sign-on. Priced by the size of your organisation; the calculator works out yours.
From €4,800 a year
No cap on events, hours or participants. Dynamic rate limits keep the platform fair for everyone and never cut off a conversation that is already recording. Add a full seat at any time, pro rata. Once your seats would cost more than your organisation licence, the licence is the cheaper choice. Prices exclude VAT.
Scholarships
We don’t want money to be the reason you can’t use dembrane, but we also don’t want money to be the reason dembrane fails. So we ask for reciprocity.
25%
The Stretch
For public-sector teams, educational institutions, and NGOs that need a nudge to get started.
In exchange: join the community and give us honest product feedback.
50%
The Split
For grassroots movements, student collectives, and partners who genuinely can’t cover the cost.
In exchange: beta test new features and help us find bugs.
100%
The Frontier
For people mapping domains we haven't seen — conflict resolution, indigenous knowledge, radical civic experiments.
In exchange: our logo at your event, a shared case study, and share pseudonymous insights.
Scholarships are for the non-private sector: grassroots movements, student collectives, NGOs, and public institutions. Mention scholarships during your intake call. We evaluate on need and novelty, not paperwork. Scholarships cover the use of dembrane and remote support; travel and on-site presence are quoted separately.
Training
Using AI in some participatory and democratic settings is classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act. Every team that uses dembrane for these use cases must complete a certified training before using their workspace.

Basics · 2 hours · Async
Up to 5 participants included. Additional participants at €60 each. Covers responsible use of AI in participatory settings, platform walkthrough, and workspace setup.
Live, online — €675
Intermediate · 2 hours · Remote

In-person — €2,500
Advanced · 4 hours · On-site
Up to 10 participants included. Additional participants at €195 each. Deep dive into methodology, hands-on practice with real scenarios, and workspace configuration for your context.
Trainings cover certification for a year. As AI capabilities are advancing rapidly, annual recertification is required to maintain EU AI Act compliance.
