Turn web page saves into private, monitorable, evidence-ready records.
Guest is the fastest way to preserve a public page. Pro adds private archives, URL monitoring, feed monitoring for new articles, diff checks, email notifications, evidence-pack downloads, and archive management for records that need review or handoff later.
Pro is not just more storage. It is a different workflow.
What you actually get in Pro
Each feature matters because it solves a different point where a saved page becomes operational work.
Private archives
Keep sensitive pages inside your own workspace instead of exposing them as public archive URLs.
Use this when the page contains client material, internal context, sensitive notices, or anything you do not want publicly visible.
Often used by legal, PR, compliance, and client-facing teams.
URL monitoring and change tracking
Keep watching the same URL so you can catch updates, removals, and wording changes without checking by hand every day.
Use this for terms, pricing pages, announcements, product pages, public profiles, and takedown-prone pages.
Often used by compliance, research, sales enablement, and competitive intelligence.
New article archiving and feed monitoring
Watch RSS or Atom feeds from blogs, note, and owned sites. When a new article appears, Kiroku starts a fresh archive automatically and can notify your registered email address.
Use this when an article may be edited or removed shortly after publication, or when you need to preserve every new post from a known source.
Often used by researchers, PR teams, compliance teams, and anyone tracking blogs or note creators.
Evidence-ready output
Package the page, screenshot, saved time, and archive context so the record is easier to review later. Every save — Guest or Pro — automatically gets an external RFC 3161 timestamp, so the moment of capture is verifiable by a third party. Downloading the evidence pack itself is Pro only, and Pro unlocks that proof even for archives you saved earlier as a Guest.
Use this when the archive must be sent to counsel, leadership, clients, or anyone who was not there at the time.
Often used for internal escalation, legal review, PR response, and formal recordkeeping.
Archive management in one place
Move archiving from loose folders and browser tabs into a dashboard you can revisit repeatedly.
Use this when archiving becomes a repeat workflow instead of a once-a-month emergency task.
Often used by teams running recurring monitoring or multi-person investigations.
Guest and Pro serve different jobs
Fast public archiving
For quick public saves when you just need a page archived now.
Operational archiving
For pages that need privacy, repeat monitoring, managed workflows, or evidence-ready review.
The strongest fit is not 'people who save more.' It is people who need a stronger workflow.
Legal and compliance
Monitor terms, disclosures, and notices. Keep sensitive captures private. Hand off structured records when review is needed.
PR and communications
Keep a reliable record of announcements and public statements, then package the archive when escalation happens.
Research and investigations
Track the same URL over time, compare changes, and keep the investigation record organized.
Sales, strategy, and competitive tracking
Watch pricing pages, feature pages, and announcements so changes are captured before they disappear.
Not 'more storage.' It is the moment a record has to hold up against someone who was not there.
A service you rely on quietly updates its terms of service. Three months later, a dispute surfaces and you need to show what the terms said on the day you agreed.
A social post or press page containing harmful content is deleted after screenshots start circulating. You need to prove what was actually posted — to your legal team, to platform support, or to your own PR response.
A real estate listing, job posting, or product page you acted on quietly changes — price, conditions, or description are different from what you saw when you made your decision.
Because loose in-house capture breaks down when the page needs review later.
$12 / month compared to what Pro actually replaces
vs. a single legal consultation
A one-hour initial consultation with a lawyer in Japan typically starts around ¥5,000–¥10,000, and formal representation often starts at ¥100,000+ for retainer. If a clean archive saves even one round of 'please find the original page,' Pro usually pays for itself the first time it is used.
vs. in-house archiving time
If one person spends 30 minutes a week manually screenshotting, labeling, and filing captures, that is around 26 hours per year. Pro replaces that manual workflow with a dashboard and structured saves.
vs. records you cannot produce
The most expensive record is the one you needed but never saved. The purpose of Pro pricing is to make a real-time save cheap enough that the decision to archive happens before the page is gone.
Save now as a Guest. Turn it into evidence months later.
Every manual save — Guest or Pro — automatically gets an external RFC 3161 timestamp at capture time. The original save moment is cryptographically anchored even if you never pay for Pro. If you later decide you need the evidence pack, upgrading unlocks downloads for your past Guest saves with the original capture time preserved.
This is the most important feature to understand about Kiroku: the value of a save increases with time. The earlier you start saving, the bigger the archive Pro can unlock for you later.
Start with Guest. Move to Pro when the archive becomes ongoing work.
The right upgrade point is usually when privacy, repeat monitoring, or reviewability matter more than just saving one page.
Free entry point
Best when a public save is fine and you want to archive a page immediately.
$12 / month
For teams and operators who need privacy, repeated monitoring, archive review, and structured handoff.
Questions people ask before upgrading
A screenshot seems enough. What does Kiroku actually add?
A screenshot preserves how a page looked, but not the URL, the full HTML, the save time verifiable by a third party, or the surrounding context. Kiroku bundles those together, and every save gets an external RFC 3161 timestamp automatically so the moment of capture is verifiable without relying on your own clock or file metadata.
I saved something as a Guest before. Can Pro still give me the evidence pack?
Yes. Every manual save — Guest or Pro — automatically gets an external RFC 3161 timestamp the moment it is captured. Becoming a Pro user unlocks the evidence pack download for those saves too, with the original capture time preserved. This is the core reason to save early: the retroactive value is only available because the timestamp was attached at save time, not at download time.
Is this actually usable as evidence in court?
Kiroku is designed to make digital captures easier to explain and verify. The RFC 3161 timestamp token in the evidence pack can be independently verified with openssl against the TSA's public certificate. Whether that is admitted as evidence depends on the case, jurisdiction, and counsel's strategy — Kiroku does not replace legal advice. The right way to think about it: Kiroku makes the record cleaner and more defensible, not automatically legally decisive.
What is included at this price?
Private archives, URL monitoring with change detection, feed monitoring for new article archiving, email notifications, diff views between versions, evidence pack download (including retroactively for past Guest saves), and the archive management dashboard. There is no feature tier above Pro — the monthly price is the full product, and it applies to the entire workspace you use.
Can Pro archive new articles from blogs or note automatically?
Yes. Pro can monitor RSS or Atom feeds from blogs, note creator pages, and owned sites. Existing feed items are treated as already seen when you register the feed, and new article URLs found later are archived automatically. Each feed is checked about every 15 minutes, and email notifications can be turned on or off per feed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, Pro is a monthly subscription with no lock-in. If you cancel, the archives you captured while on Pro remain in your account; the Pro-only capabilities (evidence pack download, URL monitoring, private archives) simply stop being available after the current period ends.
