The beta price, and what we promise about it

BasinDesk is in beta. Beta users pay $100 a month. The price goes up to $500 a month when BasinDesk leaves beta, and we decide when that is. Every subscriber gets one month's advance notice before their rate goes up. Until that notice has run you keep the rate you have. It is in the Terms, section 4.6.

What a subscription covers

Every unit whose first filing reaches the Ohio docket in a calendar month you are subscribed, starting with the month before you join. Somebody who joins today has every unit first filed in October 2026 and November 2026, and each later month while they stay. Your first two months (the month you join and the month before it) stay open for as long as you stay, and every later month is added to them. Those units are open in full, owner list included, for as long as you stay subscribed. The free month covers the same units a subscription would.

The back catalog

A unit first filed earlier than that, or in a month you were not subscribed, is locked. Everyone sees its name, operator, county, status, first filing month and hearing date, and its page says what is inside before you pay. "Add this unit" opens it for your organization for as long as your account is open, with or without a subscription.

If you stop

The units your subscription or your free month covered close. If you come back, the months you were covered open again, and the months you were away are back catalog. Units you added stay open either way.

A unit that holds nothing beyond its basic facts is never sold: its page is open to everyone.
