Roam Research plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $15/month | 9 | Entry tier |
| Believer | $500/5 years | 2 | +$485/5 years, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Pro
$15/monthThe entry tier. It covers unlimited graphs, unlimited blocks, daily notes, bidirectional links, block references, queries.
Believer
$500/5 yearsOver Pro, this tier adds:
- All Pro features

People bring Roam Research in for research notes, writing projects, personal knowledge management, academic work, creative thinking. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Roam Research are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Roam Research
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: 2 tiers between $15/month and $500/5 years, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Roam Research against the tools that do have one before committing.
Roam Research runs on web, ios, macos, windows, and is published by Roam Research Inc of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Roam Research review.
Roam Research pricing questions

- Not on the record we hold. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Pro and Believer on Roam Research?
- Believer costs $500/5 years against $15/month, and adds all pro features, cost effective long-term subscription.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is all pro features, cost effective long-term subscription. It costs $500/5 years against $15/month for Pro. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

- Does Roam Research charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Roam Research prices current?
