What is Humata?
Humata is an AI tool that answers questions about documents you upload, with answers linked back to the source text. It runs as a web app (app.humata.ai) and offers an embeddable widget and an API.
Who it's for
Humata's site points to researchers, analysts, educators and teams that work with long documents such as technical papers. Groups larger than 10 users are directed to Enterprise sales.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- Humata says answers include cited links into the source files, and that you can upload as many documents as you want and ask unlimited questions.
- The Team plan lists OCR for images and scanned text, department and folder-level permissions, and response personalization; Expert and Team list chat support.
- Humata's site says it offers an embeddable widget to put its PDF AI on a webpage, and links an API from its navigation.
- Humata's security page says it does not use user data to train its AI models, and describes TLS 1.3 in transit and application-level encryption of access tokens and keys.
- Humata's security page says it is SOC-2 Type II compliant and that third parties run penetration tests; the pricing page also lists a SOC-2 certificate for Enterprise.
- Per-page overage rates are published: $0.02 a page on Expert and $0.01 a page on Team once the monthly allowance is used.
Limitations
- Usage is metered in pages: Free includes 60 pages a month with no extra pages, Expert 500 and Team 5,000, with extra pages at $0.02 and $0.01 each. The pricing page says usage is measured by pages accessed and questions asked per month, but gives no question quota.
- The home page says Free covers up to 60 pages and up to 10 answers, but the pricing page lists no answer limit. The pricing page prints the Expert price split as 9 and 99 without a decimal point, while the home page says $9.99 a month. Confirm which applies.
- OCR, folder permissions and response personalization are listed only from the Team plan up; the SOC-2 certificate, uptime SLA and early access only on Enterprise. Single sign-on (Okta, Google, SAML) is listed as coming soon.
- Humata's pricing page says billing is a monthly subscription and does not list annual billing. The FAQ names a Student plan charged $0.02 a page, but the pricing table shows no Student plan or price. Supported file types and file size limits are not stated; only PDFs are mentioned.
- The terms of service say purchases are non-refundable except as required by law, and give a broad license to use submitted content for service provision, promotion and other purposes. The security page says document data used for the model is not retained beyond 30 days, dashboard data is kept until you request otherwise, and it describes encryption as both SHA 256-bit and AES-256 and lists storage vendors differently in two places.
