What does '10 min/day active use' mean on the Free plan?

The 10-minute daily timer on the Free plan only runs when you are actively using a lab tool, such as loading a model, running a pricing calculation, or interacting with a chart. Browsing the platform, reading research, or viewing community content does not count towards this limit, and the counter resets daily at midnight UTC.

Are there student discounts available for Auster?

Yes, Auster offers free unlimited access for students. You can verify your .edu email address to gain full access to all features and labs, supporting coursework, thesis research, and interview preparation with professional tooling.

What is the difference between the Starter and Pro plans?

The Starter plan provides 60 minutes of daily active use, the ability to save workspaces, and data export features. The Pro plan offers unlimited active use, deeper historical data, API access, priority support, and the ability to publish research to the Research Stage.
