Terms of use

Reference

The terms that apply when using BenchLM rankings, tools, research, downloads, embeds, Data access, and paid Radar subscriptions.

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Agreement

These terms apply between you and the operator of BenchLM. By using the site, you agree to these terms and the privacy policy.

Informational service

BenchLM publishes public benchmark, pricing, runtime, and editorial information for research and model selection. It is not professional, legal, financial, security, or procurement advice. Verify important decisions against original sources and your own evaluations.

Data limitations

Benchmarks can be incomplete, revised, contaminated, or unsuitable for a particular workload. Pricing and availability can change. BenchLM may correct, re-rank, add, or remove data as evidence changes and does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Permitted use

You may read, link to, and quote BenchLM with attribution. The public website dataset, including website downloads, benchlm.ai/api/data exports, and the data behind website rankings and charts, is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0: non-commercial use is permitted with a credit and a link. Commercial use, including redistributing the data or building a product or service on it, requires a separate license from BenchLM, available through the contact page. Embeds may run on any site, commercial or not, while their attribution stays visible.

You may not disrupt the service, evade technical limits, misrepresent BenchLM results, remove attribution from an embed, or use automated access in a way that materially degrades availability.

Data access

The dedicated Data service at data.benchlm.ai/v1 and its MCP endpoint has separate terms from the website downloads. Free, Data Pro, and Data Research are access plans for queries and internal analysis within your account’s plan limits. This access applies to the fields returned by the dedicated Data service, including final BenchAlign outputs and available source measurements.

Commercial display or republication of BenchLM-owned outputs or the compiled feed on a customer-facing website, application, or product requires a separately agreed commercial display license. Redistributing that material through an API, downloads, or resale requires separately agreed scope. Paid Data subscriptions add reads and available history; they do not include a commercial display or redistribution license. Individual quotations with attribution and standard attributed embeds keep the permissions stated above.

Keep attribution and the source notices and license information supplied with numerical responses. Epoch AI measurements are supplied under CC BY 4.0; the available BullshitBench v2 CSV measurements are supplied under MIT. Retain the required credits and license notices, and identify changes where the source license requires it. Publisher licenses determine redistribution rights. Independently licensed publisher measurements retain their commercial-use and redistribution rights under those licenses; the separate agreement requirement for BenchLM-owned outputs and the compiled feed does not replace or restrict those rights.

Access does not grant rights to every upstream benchmark dataset. History and source coverage vary. Check the service’s coverage responses before relying on a particular source or period.

Data subscriptions and cancellation

Data Pro is $49 USD per month and includes the latest three rolling UTC calendar months of available history. Data Research is $249 USD per month and includes all available retained history without an age cap. Coverage varies by source and date; a plan does not create missing records. Both paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe and renew monthly until canceled. Manage or cancel your Data subscription through the billing portal in your Data account. Cancellation stops future renewals; paid access continues through the end of the current paid period unless the law requires otherwise. Radar and Data keep separate API keys and allowances, including when purchased together.

Third parties and affiliates

External products, providers, and affiliate destinations are controlled by third parties. BenchLM is not responsible for their services or terms. Commercial relationships do not determine benchmark scores or rankings; see the affiliate disclosure.

Radar subscriptions and cancellation

Paid BenchLM Radar plans are billed in advance through Stripe and renew automatically at the monthly or annual cadence shown at checkout until canceled. You can cancel at any time from Radar's Billing page or Stripe's customer portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues through the end of the current paid period unless the law requires otherwise.

Refund policy

Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable and BenchLM does not automatically provide prorated refunds or credits for unused time after cancellation. BenchLM will review requests involving duplicate charges, billing errors, or other circumstances where a refund is legally required. You can request review through the support chat in Radar or the contact method below.

Approved refunds are issued through Stripe to the original payment method. Your bank or payment provider controls when the credit appears. Canceling a subscription and requesting a refund are separate actions; a refund does not necessarily cancel future renewals unless BenchLM confirms the cancellation.

Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, BenchLM is provided “as is” without warranties, and its operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from reliance on the service. Rights that cannot legally be excluded remain unaffected.

Governing terms and contact

Applicable law and mandatory consumer protections continue to apply. Questions may be sent to hello@benchlm.ai.
