Pricing
- $2.50 per scan on Qualia — the default and only available model right now. Charged once when a scan completes; failed scans are never charged. (Mary is temporarily unavailable.)
- The first $2.50 of usage each month is free — exactly one Qualia scan — then scans debit your prepaid deposit. See Pricing.
- Consumer (dashboard) plans are metered: Free 1, Pro 60, and Studio 150 scans. The API itself is usage-based and requires a paid plan to mint a key.
Lenses
- 4 selectable lenses:
attention,memory,purchase_intent(a.k.a. Buy / Not Buy), andmanipulation. There is noemotionlens. See Lenses.
New: wallet endpoint
GET /v1/walletreturns your spendable balance — deposit, this month’s free credit, the per-scan price, and an estimate of how many scans you can still run — so an agent or script can check funds before submitting. Read-only; it never debits. See Check your wallet.
Expanded manipulation outputs
When a scan is scored under themanipulation lens, the manipulation block (on both GET /v1/scans/{id} and POST /v1/analyze) now adds:
pbi— the Prefrontal Balance Index (vmPFC − dlPFC): how reward/emotion-driven the response is relative to deliberate reasoning.threat— the headline threat verdict shown in the UI (label,severity,color,note).population— a directional population-impact projection (per_ten,per_ten_thousand) — a model estimate, not a measured outcome.timeline— the per-second guard-down timeline (exposure = reward − effort − alarm).
conversion_risk, risk_band, cognitive_sovereignty_index, sovereignty, quadrant, circuits, mechanisms, peak_moment, and tactics. See the full shape in Get a scan.
Other
- 3-minute video cap. Clips longer than 3 minutes are rejected up front (no GPU spend, no charge). Trim or split before submitting.
- One-line MCP / CLI install. Wire Sapient into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP agent with a single command, or run scans from the terminal with the CLI. See Connect an agent.
