Pricing
Free for researchers.Disclosed for everyone else.
Kvantiq Studio is pre-revenue in 2026. We don’t publish institutional or enterprise list prices because honest pricing for a scoped engagement needs a conversation. We do publish what every engagement includes, and the rules sponsorship lives under.
Researcher
Individual researchers, students, developers
- All public challenges and benchmarks
- Multi-SDK submission (Qiskit, PennyLane, Braket, OpenQASM, CUDA-Q, Cirq)
- Kvantiq Bench Score with confidence intervals on every axis
- DOI-citable submission records via Zenodo
- CLI access and public leaderboards
Institution
Most-askedUniversities, research groups, national labs
- Everything in Researcher
- Organization accounts with member management
- Private challenge spaces for internal evaluation
- Bulk submission throughput and reserved evaluation capacity
- Methodology consultation and dataset onboarding support
Enterprise
Industry teams evaluating quantum readiness for a real workload
- Decision-grade quantum feasibility assessment for your workload
- Custom benchmark design under Kvantiq Evaluation Protocol
- Published findings (your call: public or under NDA) with reproducibility receipts
- Cross-vendor comparison across the SDKs and hardware paths that matter to you
- Quarterly re-evaluation cycles to track the field as hardware improves
Sponsorship
Vendors funding evaluation of their own systems
- Funding pays for the work — never the conclusion
- Same methodology as unfunded evaluations of comparable claims
- Results published regardless of outcome, including unfavourable findings
- Disclosure on every published result and on the public funders page
- Methodology never modified at a sponsor’s request
Why no published list price?
Decision-grade quantum benchmarking is scoped per workload. A defensible price for evaluating, say, VQE on a 50-qubit problem on three hardware vendors is not the same number as a Layer-2 gate-fidelity sweep on a single device. We will give you a fixed price in writing after a 30-minute scoping call.
Why is sponsorship a tier?
Because pretending it doesn’t happen is what makes vendor-funded benchmarks lose credibility. We follow the Underwriters Laboratories model: funding pays for the work, never the conclusion. Every sponsorship is disclosed on every published result, and findings are published regardless of outcome. The full text is in the Independence Policy.
What does an engagement actually look like?
See the enterprise page for the four-stage engagement lifecycle (Discover → Scope → Pilot → Cycle), or read Trust for the security, data, and reproducibility posture every engagement inherits.
