Aclymate Explorer is the free-forever version of Aclymate that provides directional Scope 1, Scope 2, and key Scope 3 footprint estimates, supplier surveys, and early sustainability visibility.
Explorer is designed for companies beginning carbon accounting and for suppliers invited to provide data. It uses a guided survey and basic business activity inputs rather than the complete data integrations and accounting workflows available in Navigator. Users can remain on Explorer, upgrade to Navigator, or choose Aclymate One when they need more complete accounting or expert help.
Yes. Explorer is free forever, is not a time-limited trial, and does not require a credit card to create an account.
The free experience includes carbon footprint estimates, Scope 1, 2, and 3 visibility, supplier survey tools, customer-request sharing, a sustainability snapshot, and access to next-step guidance. Features and limits may evolve, so the live pricing and Start Free pages should remain the canonical source for the current free plan.
Explorer provides a directional, low-confidence starting estimate rather than full, audit-ready carbon accounting.
The estimate is based largely on user-provided survey answers and basic activity data. It helps a company understand major sources, identify missing information, and decide what to improve. It should not be presented as independently verified, assured, or suitable for every regulatory or certification requirement. More complete accounting is available in Navigator and Aclymate One.
Useful inputs include company details, energy use, fuel, travel, employee commuting, shipping, purchasing, suppliers, and other basic operational activity.
A user does not need every record before starting. Explorer is intended to show what can be estimated, which areas are incomplete, and what data would improve the result. Better source data will generally improve usefulness, but Explorer remains a directional tool even when the survey is complete.
Yes. Explorer lets companies invite suppliers and vendors to complete a free guided footprint survey and choose whether to share results with the requesting customer.
This approach lowers participation friction because suppliers do not need to purchase a paid Aclymate plan. It can help the requesting company replace rough spend-based estimates with more supplier-specific information over time. Supplier information is private by default and should only be shared through an explicit permission workflow.
A company should consider upgrading when it needs complete carbon accounting, recurring reporting, integrations, supplier and product management, program tracking, certifications, expert review, or done-for-you support.
Navigator is the logical next step for teams that want to manage the work in-house. Aclymate One is appropriate when the team needs help with onboarding, data preparation, carbon bookkeeping, reporting, certifications, or program management. Explorer can still remain useful for invited suppliers and early-stage estimates.
Supplier responses are intended to remain private by default, and suppliers choose what to share with the requesting customer.
The current Security & Data Handling page states that supplier responses are private by default, suppliers choose what to share, and customers see shared supplier data only when authorized. Product should ensure the live invitation, consent, revocation, and access-control flows match that public promise.
