Partner

Partner is the top annual plan, starting at $20,000/year — for organizations building on OpenAlex at scale. Partner pricing starts at $20,000 but can be higher depending on your exact needs and use case; it includes everything in Member+, plus the benefits below. To scope a Partner plan, email sales@openalex.org.

Everything in Member+, plus:

$200+/day API budget

Every day, your organization gets $200 or more of API usage — worth $73,000+ over a year, a 73% saving compared to buying the same usage pay-as-you-go. The exact budget is sized to your needs as part of your agreement.

Full support

Full ticket-based support from our team, for all issues — API and data alike.

For academic & government institutions

On top of the academic/government benefits every plan carries (the affiliation editor and Unsub access), Partner adds:

3 power-user accounts

Grant extra-high API limits to three users in your organization — for the researchers or engineers who push the hardest.

5 hours of consulting per year

Five hours of expert advice, training, and exploration from our team, customized to your needs.

Also included (from Member and Member+)

A daily-sync pipeline for your own copy of the database, the admin dashboard, and community representation. See Member and Member+ for details.

Add-ons

Any plan can add the PDF sync service — persistent sync of our full open-access PDF archive (more than 50 million documents) to your own storage. Contact sales for a quote.
