Scout is the free tier of Brand Atlas. It is the entry point: enough to populate the eight standard sections, hold the brand record in one place, and invite a small team to read it. Scout is free for as long as you use it; there is no time limit.

​
What Scout includes

  • The eight standard sections. Logo & Identity, Typography, Colour System, Applications, Strategy, Voice, Photography, Social. The full set, on the same surface they appear on Keeper and Guardian.
  • Team seats. One brand owner plus two team members. Team members have read access.
  • Brand record history. The brand record’s change history is retained for 30 days. Older history is rolled off.
  • Guest Passes. One active Guest Pass at a time. Useful for a single vendor or partner.
  • Search. Full-text search across populated sections.
  • Email support. Community support, answered as time allows. Premium tiers receive priority.

​
What Scout does not include

  • Horizons. Scout does not support creating Horizons. The atlas is the eight standard sections only.
  • Update Requests. Team members on Scout can read but cannot raise Update Requests. The atlas is read-only for them.
  • AI assistants. Neither Henry nor Oswald is available on Scout.
  • Long-term version history. Beyond 30 days the brand record’s history is not retained.
  • Multiple Guest Passes. Only one Guest Pass can be active at any time.

​
Who Scout is for

Scout is the right tier in three cases:
  1. Evaluation. You want to see whether Brand Atlas suits the brand before paying for it. Populate the standard sections, invite one team member, see how it works.
  2. A single-team brand. A small operation where one or two people are involved with the brand and a working request channel is not needed.
  3. An archive use case. The brand is stable; the atlas is being used as a clean, structured record of an identity that does not change often.
Scout is the wrong tier when a team larger than two needs to engage with the brand actively. The lack of Update Requests is the constraint most teams hit first.

​
What happens when you outgrow Scout

The most common moment is when a team member starts raising change requests by email. That is the signal that Update Requests would solve a real problem, which is the moment to consider Keeper. Upgrading takes effect immediately. The atlas, its team, the brand record, and the Guest Pass are all preserved.

Pricing

Scout is free. There is no trial period, no credit-card requirement, and no obligation. The tier exists to make sure the case for paid tiers is made by the product, not by a paywall.
