Start here

Extraction runs on the Easting service, so every surface starts with an account. There is no offline mode and no key to bring: the service holds the model and the prompt, and your key is what identifies you to it.

Start free gives you three documents and takes no card. They never expire. A $30 document pack holds ten credits on the same terms, for anyone who meets a legal description a few times a year.

In QGIS you can do the whole thing without opening a browser: Easting → Settings… → Start free collects an email, a company and a role, and writes the key straight into your QGIS profile.

The key is shown once and looks like east_live_…. Nothing on our side can recover it, because only its digest is stored. Lost it? Mint a replacement at your account page; the old one keeps working until you revoke it.

A sign-in invitation for app.easting.ai arrives by email, so one account opens the browser, QGIS and the API.

Then pick a surface

	good for
The browser	Nothing to install. Read a document, review it, place it, export.
QGIS	You already have a project, layers and a CRS, and want the parcel to land in it.
The API	A pipeline, a nightly job, or your own interface over the top.

Same account, same quota, same files out. A document read in the browser bills exactly as one read in QGIS.
