People bring ArchivesSpace in for archives and manuscripts repositories providing web access to collections, institutions managing digital objects alongside traditional archival materials, community-supported archival organisations seeking open-source solutions. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to ArchivesSpace are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for ArchivesSpace
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
ArchivesSpace runs on ubuntu linux, macos, windows, and is published by ArchivesSpace Community of New York, NY. The full record is on the ArchivesSpace review.
