Flexible plans
Transparent and fair pricing is our mantra. Get started right away with a starter package. Or build your own plan, with a long list of always-included features. Two words sum it up: great value.
01
Priced for your budget
Value for money means paying a fair price for what you need. Start with a basic plan and scale from there. And if you're still not sure (or fancy a discount) drop us a note.
02
AI in every plan
LightRocket combines human governance with the power of artificial intelligence. So, whatever your plan, AI features like tagging and facial recognition are always included.
03
Training and Support
We take the service part of software very seriously. The approach is and personal and collaborative. Sharing decades of experience and know-how. We're always happy to help.

03
We build what is missing
Something missing? Something we could do better? Tell us and we’ll work out how to add it.
Who built it
Lightrocket isn’t just a business. It’s our passion. For over two decades we’ve been evolving and solving media management challenges for clients around the world.
01
Over 20 years in the making
Our founders are media professionals. They've invested their first-hand experience, and passion, into building world-class software.
02
Straight answers
If LightRocket is the wrong fit for what you are describing, you will hear that on the first call rather than the fourth.
03
An ever-evolving project
LightRocket is as much a project as a product. Work never stops on improving and evolving what we've built.
Always improving (even after you buy)
New features arrive through the year and land on your system without a migration, a new licence or a day of downtime.
01
Upgrades are included
Core improvements ship to everyone. There is no old version you get left behind on because you bought in the wrong year.
02
Your requests get built
Most of what we add started as a customer describing something we could do better. Tell us how we can improve.
03
Nothing to reimport
Updates apply to your existing library in place. Your files, keywords and permissions stay exactly as they were.

From one of our co-founders
We’re a small team driven by a passion for what we do, and by a strong belief that we can always do better. For us, small is beautiful because it means we can keep our style personal. And we can evolve with an agility that ensures we are always on the cutting edge.
