How Much Does Cruxly Cost: Plans and What's in the Free Tier
Guest access, the free Study plan, and Pro — what's in each and how to tell which one you actually need.
Cruxly has three tiers of access. The breakdown logic for video, documents, and contracts is identical across all three. The difference is how much of it you get per day and what file sizes it covers. Here's exactly what's in each tier and how to tell which one fits your workload.
Full Cruxly breakdown: pricing and comparisons
Guest access: testing the service before you sign up
Without an account you get one breakdown a day: video up to 60 minutes or a file up to 5 MB, two chat questions per breakdown. That's enough to upload your own real document or clip and see the actual result instead of a demo example on the site. The limit is tied to your session and resets the next day.
Study: free permanently, not a one-week trial
Register with an email, no card required, and Study opens up: three breakdowns a day, files up to 15 MB, video up to 120 minutes, four chat questions per breakdown, saved results in your account. The key word is "permanently" — this isn't a trial that turns into a paid plan after a week, it's a standing free tier. Three breakdowns a day is enough for a lecture a day during exam season, or one work document as it comes in.
Pro: ₽299 a month
Billed monthly with no annual plan, cancel at any point. Pro removes the daily cap on breakdowns and chat questions, raises files to 300 MB and video to 420 minutes (seven hours), and unlocks export to PDF, DOCX, and Markdown. There's no hidden charge for any individual feature: everything above is included in that same ₽299, nothing gets bought separately.
What isn't tied to any specific tier
The price is the same no matter what you're analyzing: YouTube video, a regular PDF, or a contract in legal mode. Legal mode isn't a paid add-on — it's the "This is a legal document" checkbox in the analysis settings, available on every tier within that tier's own document-length limits. Export to a file is the one feature genuinely gated to Pro rather than to the size of your limits.
What counts against the daily limit
One breakdown of one video or one file counts once toward the daily cap, regardless of its length within the plan's limit. Chat questions are counted separately, tied to a specific breakdown rather than to the calendar day: two per breakdown on guest access, four on Study, unlimited on Pro.
Which tier actually fits
Guest access with zero registration steps is for a one-time check of the service on your own document, before deciding whether to keep using it. Study, with its three breakdowns a day, covers coursework or occasional document work: a lecture a week, a couple of reports a month. Pro is for when video and documents are daily work and a three-breakdown cap starts getting in the way by midday — in that case the subscription pays for itself within the first week of use.
Where to check the live numbers
The prices and limits in this article match what was true at publication, but it's worth checking the pricing page directly for the current numbers: live values can change before this article gets updated.
The difference between Cruxly's three tiers is limits, not stripped-down functionality: the same breakdown logic for video, documents, and contracts works whether you're signed in or not, on the free plan or on Pro. Start with whichever tier covers what you actually need today: guest access for a one-off check, Study for regular coursework, Pro for daily work.
