Cloud and Dedicated are billed monthly in US dollars. Annual billing and payment by bank transfer are available on request.

All three options use the same open data format. Start on Cloud, move to Dedicated, or self-host later, or the reverse. Your data is always portable, always yours.

One application, three ways to run it

The same OpenCryo, the same release train, the same open data format. What changes is who runs it and where it lives.

  • Bringing your existing inventory across from spreadsheets or another system
  • Configuring intake, release, dispatch and destruction protocols to your SOPs
  • Agreement and consent templates in your wording
  • Portal branding on your own domain, and email from your domain
  • Payment provider and subscription setup
  • Onboarding sessions for your staff
