Why is Fieldnote paid from day one?
Paid signup keeps the platform focused on serious research work. You pay for a tool that treats your data as something you own — never as something to be monetised behind your back.
Can I evaluate before committing?
Yes. Signing up creates a demo workspace seeded with a sample project and synthetic responses, so you can explore the designer, the field runner and Margin with realistic data. The demo workspace is for evaluation — pick a plan when you are ready to collect real data.
Who owns the research data?
Your workspace does. Fieldnote stores and processes responses on your behalf, never sells them, and never uses them to train models. Export everything as CSV or JSON at any time.
Where is my data stored?
On Fieldnote's servers hosted with Hetzner in Germany, served over HTTPS, with routine backups. Hosting and residency arrangements for institutional buyers are agreed per engagement on the Sovereign plan.
What export formats exist today?
CSV and JSON. Responses export together with the instrument version they were collected on, so your analysis stays traceable. More formats are on the roadmap.
How is Margin charged?
Each plan includes a daily Margin request quota — see the plan cards. The quota resets at midnight. Margin runs on Gemini and typically replies in a few seconds.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, anytime, with prorated billing. Moving up takes effect immediately; moving down takes effect at the next billing cycle.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Export your projects as CSV or JSON before you go — or after: we retain your data for 30 days following cancellation so you can re-activate, then delete it permanently.
Does Fieldnote handle respondent PII?
Projects can be flagged as capturing personally identifying data, which is surfaced across the workspace so the team handles those responses with care. Institutional requirements — retention schedules, residency, review-board paperwork — are agreed per engagement on the Sovereign plan.
Do you invoice in Naira?
Yes. Nigerian customers can pay in Naira; institutional buyers are invoiced through Data Druid Tech Services Limited.
Ready when you are.
Pick a plan, create your workspace, and you'll have your first instrument deployed before lunch.
