Self-Hosting vs Cloud
While our cloud-based Lite and Pro tiers offer seamless accessibility, the self-hosted version is designed for organizations with strict compliance requirements, sensitive intellectual property, or massive data volumes. By moving your library to your own server, you ensure:
- Full Data Sovereignty: Your PDFs and metadata are fully in your possession.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meet your institutional and corporate privacy standards.
- Cost Efficiency: Scale your collection to a large number of PDFs at a lower cost.
All the Pro Features, Under Your Control
Self-hosting doesn’t mean sacrificing power. You get the complete Pro feature set, including our AI-powered PDF chat and summaries, integrated search of literature and patent databases. Advanced features like OCR, OIDC/SAML2 SSO authentication, and detailed activity logs come standard.
Technical Simplicity
We’ve built I, Librarian Pro to be as easy to maintain as it is to use. The software is delivered as a fast, statically compiled Go binary and can be deployed in minutes using containers. Whether you are an IT professional or a tech-savvy researcher, installation is straightforward and reliable.
Flexible Licensing
We believe in giving you alternatives that fit your budget. Choose between a 1-year license at $36 per user or a perpetual license for an introductory price of $126 per user. Perpetual license does not expire and is great for long term projects.
