Member+

Member+ is the middle annual plan, at $10,000/year — for organizations that keep their own copy of OpenAlex, or push enough API traffic that the Member budget is tight. It includes everything in Member, plus the benefits below. To buy or ask questions, email sales@openalex.org.

Everything in Member, plus:

$100/day API budget

Every day, your organization gets $100 of API usage — worth $36,500 over a year, a 73% saving compared to buying the same usage pay-as-you-go.

Daily sync

Keep your own copy of OpenAlex fresh, two ways: a complete daily snapshot — the whole database, rebuilt and published every day — and sync filters on the API that return everything new or changed since any date. See Sync for how it works, including how deletions and merged entities behave.

Basic support

Ticket-based help from our team for critical API bugs that have a clear resolution. (Data-quality issues aren’t covered at this tier — for full support on all issues, see Partner.)

Also included (from Member)

The admin dashboard, community representation, and — for academic and government institutions — the affiliation editor and Unsub access. See the Member page for details on each.

Add-ons and upgrades

Any plan can add the PDF sync service — persistent sync of our full open-access PDF archive to your own storage. Need a larger budget still, full support, or power-user accounts? See Partner.
