ORBIT for institutions

Shared credits, per-member spend tracking and department structure for labs, departments and universities. One pool your members draw from, with the institution's admin and ORBIT's support team seeing the same ledger.

How it works

• One shared credit pool for the institution — allocate to members or let them draw from the pool, at the institution's choice.
• Per-member spend tracked — every conversion, readiness check, cover letter and deck is recorded against who ran it and what it cost.
• Department structure — group members by lab, department or project, with spend visible per group as well as per person.
• Dual visibility — the institution's admin sees what their members spent, and ORBIT's support team sees the same rows for reconciliation and support. No hidden ledger.

What members get

• All ten ORBIT tools — discover, check, submit and present — from the same account, with no per-tool purchase. Four tools are free; six draw credits from the shared pool.
• Their own history and credits page, unchanged. Institutional membership does not alter what a researcher sees, only where the credits come from.

Not a second product, a second way to pay

Institutional access does not add tools, limits or workflows. It is the same ORBIT, billed to one place rather than to eight individuals. Talk to us about what your group needs and we will scope it in plain numbers — credits per month, member count, department shape and nothing else you did not ask for.

What institutional access costs

ORBIT charges institutions ₹200 once per member seat — an initiation fee, charged when a seat is opened and never again — and ₹150 per credit as the list rate. There is no annual licence and no per-tool purchase; credits sit in one shared pool and do not expire. Larger volumes are discounted, but the discount is agreed in conversation rather than published as a tier table, so an institution should ask rather than read a number off this page.

An institution can top its pool up online through Razorpay, the same checkout an individual uses, and a numbered invoice is issued against every top-up. For a pool large enough to sit above the usual per-transaction ceilings, the alternative stands: ORBIT raises an invoice and the institution pays it by NEFT or RTGS. Either way the seller's PAN appears on the invoice, as it must for tax deducted at source; the enquiry form collects only the buyer's own billing details, and no bank credential of yours is ever held by ORBIT.

What a member's privacy looks like inside an institution

An institution's ledger records who spent a credit, on which tool, and when — and nothing else. The table has no column that could hold a filename, a paper title, an abstract or a document, so no future endpoint or bug can leak one: a member's manuscripts are private from their own institution by the shape of the schema rather than by a query that has to remember to filter. An administrator sees spend; they never see what was written.
