Why is Abstract CA being taken offline?
Our mission at Abstract was always to create a regulatory agent that allows our users to identify and influence meaningful legislation. After much consideration, we have decided to sunset Abstract CA because its older infrastructure no longer supports the level of performance, innovation, and security we strive to provide.
Furthermore, the operating cost of Abstract CA exceeds our revenue, and we do not want to inflate costs for our CA customers at a time when costs are rising rapidly everywhere else. After much consideration, we have determined that the new Abstract Enterprise is our best path forward as we strive to provide the highest quality product possible.
I am an active user of Abstract CA. What comes next?
You may continue to use Abstract CA either until your contract is up, or until Summer 2025, when Abstract CA is taken offline. We'll be reaching out to users individually as your contract renewal date approaches, so please keep an eye out for correspondence concerning your renewal within the next few months.
You may also choose to cancel your Abstract CA subscription before your renewal date. Please reach out to Abstract Support to cancel your subscription.
What is Abstract Enterprise? How much does it cost?
The next version of Abstract offers an enterprise-grade workspace, with analysis, reporting, and generative AI features built-in. We’ve rebuilt and redesigned this next generation of Abstract from the ground up with a brand new team, while expanding our available coverage for jurisdictions beyond California.
To show our appreciation for your support over the past few years, we are prepared to offer our Abstract CA customers one year of Enterprise at the same rate you pay for Abstract CA (an up to 95% discount). This will include unlimited seats and a dedicated member of Abstract’s Client Partner team to make the switch easy.
Can I export my Bill Lists (Reports)?
