Humata
Ask questions across your files and see the cited passage behind each answer
Overview
Humata is a document Q&A tool from Austin-based Tilda Technologies: upload PDFs and files, ask questions across them, and get summaries and answers that highlight the cited source passage. It offers web embeds and an API, and is priced by pages per month, from a free 60-page tier to team and enterprise plans.

- Answers to questions asked across many uploaded PDFs and files at once
- Citations that highlight the exact source passage behind each answer

Humata does one job cleanly: answers across your uploaded files, each tied to a highlighted passage you can check. Expert at $9.99 a month for three users and 500 pages is cheap, and Team adds OCR for scanned files and folder-level permissions. Its own benchmark claims a lead, but it was run by Humata against older models.
The page meter is the catch: past the allowance every page costs extra, and the free tier is small. Good value for researchers and small teams reading dense documents; heavy users should price it against assistants that now read files too.
What we found
Humata is a document question-answering service run by Tilda Technologies Inc., which trades as Humata from Austin, Texas. It went live in early 2023, when the Internet Archive first captured humata.ai and its web app, and was started by chief executive Cyrus Khajvandi and chief technology officer Dan Rasmuson, a former Labelbox co-founder. In October 2023 it announced a $3.5 million seed round from Google's Gradient Ventures, ARK Invest, M13 and angel investors. It has no connection to Humata Health.
The workflow is simple: upload PDFs and other files, ask questions across them, and get answers that highlight the cited passage, so a claim can be checked against the page it came from. It also summarises and compares documents, can be embedded in a web page to answer visitors from your files, and has a documented API. In September 2025 Humata published a RepLiQA reading-comprehension benchmark ranking itself first against models such as GPT-4 and Claude 3 Sonnet; that is the vendor's own test, run against models already a generation old.
Pricing is metered by pages and billed monthly. Free covers 60 pages a month for one user, and the homepage adds a cap of 10 answers. Expert is $9.99 a month for up to three users and 500 pages, then $0.02 a page. Team is $49 per user a month for up to ten users and 5,000 pages, then $0.01 a page, with OCR, folder and department permissions and response personalisation. Enterprise is quoted and adds a SOC 2 certificate and an uptime SLA. The FAQ still mentions a Student plan the pricing table no longer shows.
Earlier versions of this page quoted a review score, a Trustpilot rating and complaints about accuracy and re-upload charges; none could be read or traced today, so they are gone. Humata remains a focused, cheap way to question a stack of papers with visible citations, but general assistants now read files too, and heavy users should watch the page meter.
