Detailed Review
Climatiq approaches carbon accounting from the data layer. Its own pages describe a calculation engine and a database that, by its own count, holds over one million emission factors, with products for sustainability teams (Studio) and for developers (API).
The contracting party is Climatiq Technologies GmbH, registered at the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg under HRB 230334 B with a registered seat in Berlin. Its terms are written for business customers only.
Studio products and API
PCF Studio calculates product carbon footprints, and Data Studio gives access to the emission factor collections. The API toolkit is meant for embedding calculations in other software, and the about page names integrations with Celonis, Salesforce, Oracle, IFS and IntegrityNext.
Prices on the page
Few carbon vendors publish numbers. Climatiq lists a free Starter plan for non-commercial use with five basic PCFs, Data Pro at €3,000 per year for one user, and PCF Pro from €4,900 per year with 25 auditable PCFs, branded exports and ISO 14067 audit documentation. API access sits in the custom Enterprise plan.
Premium datasets such as ecoinvent, IEA and CarbonMinds are listed as additions, so the real cost depends on the datasets you need.
What it is not
Climatiq is a calculation and data product. The pages read do not describe a CSRD report builder or a workflow for collecting data from every site, so teams usually pair it with their own process or another tool.
Limitations to Consider
Climatiq is a data and calculation layer, not a full inventory and reporting suite. API access requires the custom Enterprise plan, Data Pro is a single-user licence, and premium datasets cost extra. The hosting location is not stated on the pages read. For a complete inventory with reduction planning, compare Plan A or Normative.
Who Should Use Climatiq
Consultants, product teams and software vendors that need documented emission factors and PCF calculations from a German contracting party.
