Plans & pricing

scite subscription price

Prices exactly as scite charges them. Your card is billed in the same currency, and the conversion is quoted before you confirm, nothing is hidden in the spread.

PayFar charges no monthly fee on the card, you pay scite only.

Your privacy

With a PayFar card, nobody needs your scite login

Every other route asks you to hand over your scite username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead, you pay scite yourself, from your own account.

Resellers and shared accounts

They pay on your behalf: with access to your account

  • They ask for your scite email and password to pay for you
  • You wait hours: sometimes a day, for someone to process the order by hand
  • A middleman fee on top of the exchange rate, never itemised
  • One card funds dozens of accounts: they get flagged together

PayFar

You pay, yourself؛ we only issue the card

  • With the card you pay yourself: no username or password is ever handed to anyone
  • Pay scite the moment you decide to: the charge clears instantly, at 3am if you like
  • No extra payment fee: just the rate of the day, shown before you confirm
No credentialsYour account never leaves your hands

Nobody logs into your scite account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.

InstantSeconds, not hours

You enter the card at scite checkout and the charge settles from your balance in seconds. No order queue, no operator, no waiting for business hours.

No hidden feeExactly what the service charges

scite charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.

Payments that go through

What makes a scite payment go through

1Usage bills arrive after the usage

Cloud platforms charge at month-end for what already ran. If the card fails then, scite does not negotiate, resources get suspended with your data inside them. A card that reliably clears is infrastructure, not convenience.

2One card, the whole stack

Domains, compute, storage, CI minutes, the odd developer licence, a working card consolidates the entire bill. The alternative is a different borrowed workaround per vendor, each with its own way of expiring.

3Free tiers still want a real card

Most platforms, scite included, ask for a valid card just to unlock the free allowance, it is their spam filter. A personal Visa passes that check without spending a cent until you actually use something.

Questions

Buying a scite subscription: common questions

How much does a scite subscription cost?

scite plans: Basic $20/mo, Basic $144/yr, Pro $50/mo, Pro $480/yr, Team (8 seats) $250/mo. Prices are exactly what scite charges; PayFar adds no monthly card fee, and the conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.

How do I buy a scite subscription with a Visa card?

Open a PayFar account; the virtual Visa card is issued in under 3 minutes. Top up at least $20, enter the card number, expiry and CVV at the scite checkout, and set the billing country to the one on your PayFar profile. The charge clears in seconds.

How much balance should I keep for scite?

A comfortable margin over last month's bill. Usage billing means the exact figure moves; the balance just has to stay ahead of it, and a low-balance alert does the remembering.

Does the card survive the small card-verification charge?

Yes: the $0–1 authorisation platforms use to test a card is standard Visa behaviour, and it voids itself within a few days.

Can my side project and my client's account share the card?

Technically yes, but give the client project its own top-ups and keep the statement clean, future-you, reconciling an invoice, will be grateful.

Get a card that scite accepts

Open an account, top up in rial or crypto, and pay scite yourself, no reseller, no shared login.
