Pricing
Priced for a collection, not an institution.
Your plan covers the books and image storage across every library you own. Splitting your collection between libraries uses the same shared capacity.
Books and image storage are shared across all libraries you own.

Beyond 10,000 books
Pay as you go starts with Ultra. Add capacity in 1,000-book blocks at $2 per block each month, or $20 per block each year. The cap grows only when a block is added; existing books remain visible and exportable if you later reduce capacity. Capacity block checkout is being prepared.
Regional pricing is applied automatically where it applies.
01
Never gated
Four things you never pay for.
- Export, always
- Every book, every note, every loan — complete, on any plan, whenever you want it. Your catalogue is yours.
- Sharing down to zero
- Whoever you invite gets their own account for free. Nobody has to pay to read the shelf you built.
- Your public page
- Every library can have a public page. Paid plans drop the badge and take a custom address; the page itself is never the thing you buy.
- Nothing is ever deleted
- Past a limit you cannot add — but everything already catalogued stays visible, editable and exportable. No hostages.
02
How the limits behave
The rules underneath the table.
A cap is only fair if you know exactly what it does before you hit it. These four decide that.
- Past a limit, nothing disappears
- You stop being able to add. Everything already catalogued stays visible, editable and exportable, forever. Over-limit data is never deleted and never hidden behind a paywall later.
- An import shows you the whole file
- Bring in a file of 812 books on the free plan and Lektava reads all 812, lands the first 50, and tells you the other 762 are waiting. You see the real size of what you would be buying.
- The free plan is the trial
- No fourteen-day clock counting down from the day you signed up. Take a year over your first fifty books if that is how long it takes.
- One plan covers the library
- The owner pays; everyone invited joins free and keeps their own account. A member seat does not eat into anything they do with their own shelves.
Fifty books is a real catalogue.
Start there. Decide about the rest when the shelf makes you.
