PRICING
Kelden saves real money on real plants, so we price per site against the savings we unlock, capture a fraction of the gain, and leave you the rest. The ROI is clear in the first conversation, with no opaque token pools to decode.
THE PRINCIPLE
We capture only a fraction of the value we unlock and leave you the rest. When a plant saves several million a year, that split makes the business case obvious and still builds a strong, durable partnership.
You keep the majority
The savings stay on your bottom line
We capture a fraction
Our recurring fee
HOW PRICING WORKS
Transparent and per site, so a single plant and a multi-unit refinery never pay the same.
Platform subscription
A predictable annual fee for access, scaled by the number of sites or units and the capability you enable. A baseline of usage is included.
Metered consumption
Compute, optimization runs, and AI inference above your included baseline are metered, so heavy usage scales fairly and never erodes the partnership.
Optional value-share
Prefer an outcome-based deal? Pair a lower base fee with a share of jointly measured savings. Offered selectively, only where measurement is airtight.
THE UNIT OF PRICING
Value lands at the site, or at the process unit on larger assets, so that is where we price. It scales naturally with your size and stays simple to explain.
The Kelden way
One price per site or process unit
Transparent and easy to forecast
Scales with the size of your operation
The old way
Opaque token pools to decode
Hard to forecast year to year
Confusing to compare across vendors
HOW TO ENGAGE
Every engagement is anchored to your own measured savings, so the numbers are discovered on a real plant, not set in a spreadsheet.
STEP 1
Proof-of-value pilot
A paid, time-boxed pilot on one unit that quantifies the savings, credited toward your first annual contract on conversion.
STEP 2
Single site
An annual platform subscription for one plant, with a baseline of usage included and consumption metered on top.
STEP 3
Enterprise
Multi-unit accounts on multi-year agreements with a standard annual escalator, for retention and predictability across every site.
OPTIONAL
Value-share
A lower base fee paired with a share of jointly measured savings, offered where attribution is clean and de-risking the deal helps you sign.
WHY IT ADDS UP
Every enterprise conversation starts from the savings measured on your own plant. The fee follows the value, so the business case is real before you commit.
Documented value
Process optimization commonly unlocks seven-figure annual savings per site.
Measured on your plant
The pilot quantifies the savings on a real unit, so the figure is yours, not a claim.
ROI you can defend
You keep the large majority of the gain, every year, with the math clear from day one.
Bring one real optimization problem. We will quantify the value first, then price against it, so the ROI is clear before you commit.
