One price for the lab, not one per person.
Founding labs run free for three months, set up by me.
That covers a lab of up to about twenty-five people. If yours is bigger, write to me and we agree the number before you start. It stays one price for the whole lab either way — there is never a charge per person.
What a ten-person lab costs on other tools.
Monthly price for ten people, from each vendor's own pricing page.

Your results do not live here.
PetriHub runs the week around the science. The science itself stays in your notebook and your drive, and this links out to it.
It is not an ELN or a LIMS.
Your notebook keeps the experiments. This keeps the week around them: who is in, what is booked, whose turn it is, what ran out.
Files stay where they are.
Papers, sheets and slide decks are links. PetriHub holds the link and who has read it, never a copy of the file.
Buffer recipes yes, raw data no.
A recipe that scales to a volume belongs here. Your images, your reads and your unpublished results do not.
Members sign in with a name and a PIN.
There are no email accounts to create or administer, and no personal data beyond a name and a role.
