Persefoni supports organizational carbon accounting and sustainability reporting. Evaluate how your source records become calculations, how reviewers can reproduce a result and what the selected plan exports. A free entry plan should be assessed against the required data controls and reporting deliverables before wider rollout.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
Teams building a repeatable carbon inventory from operational and supplier data, with reporting and assurance evidence to scope. Official pages differ on the release status of some audit and reporting controls. Confirm availability in the proposed account; a reporting template does not guarantee regulatory compliance or independent assurance. Framework coverage of the free report builder also differs between the pricing page (CSRD, ISSB and CDP) and the reporting page (CSRD first, others coming soon); confirm the live frameworks.
Persefoni Pro is worth evaluating when a single user needs a recurring carbon inventory and its included outputs meet customer requests. Advanced is more defensible when custom data ingestion and collaboration justify the proposal; it is less suitable as a replacement for operational incident or permit management.
Published price: Free Pro plan. Sources checked .
Vendor visuals—not a QHSEtech hands-on test.
Persefoni serves businesses as well as financial institutions. Pro and Advanced have different commercial and data-management scopes; financed-emissions requirements need separate evaluation.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Organizational carbon inventory | Documented by vendor | Scope 1, 2 and 3 calculations are documented; assess the required activity categories and accounting boundary. Calculation detail and release-status qualifications |
| Supplier data exchange | Depends on scope | Pricing distinguishes responding to requests in Pro from sending and responding in Advanced. The supplier page retains a coming-soon label; confirm the live account workflow. Plan comparison and free-plan conditionsSupplier engagement and release-status label |
| API and Integration Hub ingestion | Depends on scope | The plan comparison places APIs and Integration Hub in Advanced, distinct from Pro forms and bulk uploads. Plan comparison and free-plan conditionsIntegration Hub |
| Calculation traceability | Depends on scope | The measurement page describes formula, conversion and factor visibility, with Pro release qualifications. Reproduce a calculation in the offered account. Calculation detail and release-status qualifications |
| Review controls and activity history | Depends on scope | Pricing lists review and audit controls, but measurement copy retains forthcoming labels for Pro logs and Advanced approval or period controls. Resolve availability before acceptance. Calculation detail and release-status qualificationsPlan comparison and free-plan conditions |
| Disclosure review record | Documented by vendor | The report builder describes attachments, activity tracking and report locking. Confirm the required framework and permissions. The pricing page says the free report builder covers CSRD, ISSB and CDP, while the reporting page says it initially supports CSRD with ISSB, CDP and other frameworks coming soon; this is a conflict to resolve in writing, so confirm which frameworks are live in your account before relying on the builder.

| Plan-specific reporting exports | Depends on scope | Narrative report preparation and detailed metrics or methodology exports have different entitlements. Demonstrate the exact purchased output. Plan comparison and free-plan conditionsReporting workflow and framework availability |
| AI-assisted anomaly detection | Depends on scope | PersefoniAI is described as detecting statistical anomalies in large footprint datasets. Treat flags as review prompts rather than validation or assurance, and test thresholds, false positives and reviewer disposition. PersefoniAI anomaly detection and Copilot — checked 29 September 2026Plan comparison and free-plan conditions |
| Net-zero scenario modelling and target tracking | Depends on scope | Net-Zero Navigator generates reduction scenarios and tracks progress against targets. The product is labelled Advanced and pricing lists it as an add-on, so confirm entitlement and scenario assumptions. Net-Zero Navigator scenarios and target tracking — checked 29 September 2026Plan comparison and free-plan conditions |
| Operational waste and water tracking | Documented by vendor | Plan comparison documents location-level tracking for waste generation, hazardous waste, water withdrawal source, consumption and disposal or discharge destination. This is activity tracking, not proof of permit compliance or complete environmental workflows. Plan comparison and free-plan conditions |
Also watch for: Some product pages retain coming-soon labels that need reconciliation.
Free Pro plan; Advanced by proposal
Pro is a permanent free plan, not a time-limited trial. Its published base scope is single-user; selected exports, extra users and support can require upgrades. Advanced requires a proposal. Itemize the required report outputs, integrations, data volume, onboarding and support rather than treating free access as the price of the full programme.
Pricing sources checked : Checked against the vendor's published pricing. All five selected plan and product sources were accessible. Free Pro and Advanced ingestion distinctions were rechecked; conflicting coming-soon labels remain for supplier, audit and reporting scope. No Advanced amount was established.
Pro for an initial organizational inventory; Advanced for more configurable programmes. Reporting exports, connectors and specialist financial-services needs must be named in the agreement.
Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.
No disconnected calculation or mobile-capture workflow was established in the reviewed sources. Test interrupted uploads, saved drafts and recovery for your actual data-collection process; bulk upload is not evidence of an offline app.
The plan comparison distinguishes Pro responses from Advanced sending and responses. The supplier product page still shows coming soon, so demonstrate availability rather than relying on the headline.
No. Measurement and pricing pages retain inconsistent release labels. Ask for the actual account to demonstrate logs, review and period controls and record the agreed availability.
No. The reporting page describes locking reports, while the measurement page separately qualifies advanced data controls. Demonstrate both if the process requires them.
A received response is not independent assurance. Ask how evidence, estimation methods, exceptions and reviewer decisions are retained for your intended supplier process.
Disconnected operation was not established by the reviewed pages. Demonstrate interrupted uploads and recovery; file ingestion does not prove an offline application.
