Why We Added the Essential Plan

Forensic OSINT was originally built for elite investigators and digital forensics professionals who needed bulletproof evidence capture for court. But we heard from many solo investigators, private sector analysts, and small units who wanted something in between — more power than the Free plan, but not as extensive as ELITE.

So we created the Essential plan.

It gives solo professionals, researchers, and smaller agencies access to the most important tools at a price that makes sense:

✅ Unlimited captures
✅ Digitally signed & timestamped PDF reports
✅ Comment expansion
✅ Advanced key value extractions
✅ Case management (limited)
✅ Continuous capture
✅ Search text in screen captures (Fall 2025)
✅ PDFs will soon support full-text search & OCR (Fall 2025)

Is Essential Right for You?

If you’re:

• Investigating online content and need to preserve it correctly
• Presenting evidence in court or reports
• Working solo or in a small unit
• Upgrading from the Free plan

...then Essential was built for you.

What If You Already Use PRO or ELITE?

PRO plans are retired but will continue working as long as your subscription is active. You’re free to stay on it or upgrade at any time.

ELITE users get everything in Essential — plus advanced tools like team sync, Subject Dossier, advanced captures, and future AI features.
