The dembrane mark, drawn as a field of dotsPricing

We believe in simple, transparent pricing

dembrane offers three products: our event services, the self service dembrane platform, and user trainings for high risk implementations. We also offer scholarships for those who are less able to afford dembrane.

Event services

€1,250 event preparation

Intake, event design, workspace setup, themes and tags. Covers one event format — additional prep for multiple formats is quoted separately.

€1,250 per event day

We attend (in-person or remote), run live analysis, and deliver a structured report. Software, multilingual transcription, and event support included. Travel costs quoted separately.

We will do whatever we can to make your event a success.

Scholarships

We don’t want money to be the reason you can’t use dembrane, but we also don’t want money to be the reason dembrane fails. So we ask for reciprocity.

25%

The Stretch

For public-sector teams, educational institutions, and NGOs that need a nudge to get started.

In exchange: join the community and give us honest product feedback.

50%

The Split

For grassroots movements, student collectives, and partners who genuinely can’t cover the cost.

In exchange: beta test new features and help us find bugs.

100%

The Frontier

For people mapping domains we haven't seen — conflict resolution, indigenous knowledge, radical civic experiments.

In exchange: our logo at your event, a shared case study, and share pseudonymous insights.

Scholarships are for the non-private sector: grassroots movements, student collectives, NGOs, and public institutions. Mention scholarships during your intake call. We evaluate on need and novelty, not paperwork. Scholarships cover the use of dembrane and remote support; travel and on-site presence are quoted separately.

Training

Using AI in some participatory and democratic settings is classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act. Every team that uses dembrane for these use cases must complete a certified training before using their workspace.
