The idea
A Folio plan designed for universities, writing centres, and research departments. Centralised billing, managed seat allocation, and usage reporting for administrators. One license covers the department — no individual subscriptions needed. Students and researchers get access through their institution, the same way they access journal databases or writing labs.
Why it matters
Academic institutions already pay for writing and research tools. A department-wide Folio license gives every student and researcher access to AI-powered writing assistance, source management, and citation formatting without the friction of individual signups and payments. For writing centres, it means being able to recommend a single tool that covers the whole workflow.
Where we are
On our radar for post-launch. Building institutional features — admin dashboards, seat management, SSO integration — takes dedicated effort. If you're at a university or department that would be interested in early institutional access, reach out to hello@usefolio.co. We'd love to hear what your needs look like.
