Materials Platform for Data Science OÜ

Materials Platform for Data Science OÜ is an Estonian company that operates MPDS, a web-based materials data platform. According to its official website, the platform provides access to curated materials data through both a graphical user interface (GUI) and an application programming interface (API). The open-access tier offers search across more than 15 criteria, analysis tools and interactive plots, distinct phases and prototypes, and roughly 50,000 datasheets drawn from about 20,000 articles, with GUI access limited to under 5% of the full dataset. Logged-in users can reach open data through the API at no cost. The paid GUI full-access tier expands the offering to detailed visualizations, detailed data display and datasheets, export in more than five formats, high-quality redrawn phase diagrams, and full references and DOIs, covering about 3 million datasheets from 400,000 articles. It is priced at €1,900 yearly per account, with payment handled by a third-party processing partner. The API full-access product is sold as software as a service with machine-readable data, regular API and data updates, documentation, support and tutorials, support for the Optimade standard, and access to the MPDS materials ontology; it includes GUI full access and starts at €9,500 yearly for academia. An Enterprise tier adds unlimited GUI and API full-access accounts, early access to new data, integration into third-party products, OAuth and LDAP integration, managed cloud or local installation, and dedicated R&D as a service. The company describes its data as peer-reviewed and derived from journals, supported by more than 1,000 full-time academic manpower years of editorial work, its own ab initio calculations, and its own machine learning. MPDS is therefore positioned as a specialist data infrastructure provider for materials science research and industrial R&D rather than a general-purpose software vendor. Its customers are academic institutions, research groups and enterprises that need structured, machine-readable materials data and ontology support. The platform is accessible worldwide through its website, and the company is registered in Estonia.

Materials Platform for Data Science OÜ is an Estonian company that provides a materials data website, as described in its Wikidata entry. The company operates the MPDS platform, which is accessible at mpds.io. Publicly available information about the company's founding date, founders and corporate history is limited; the evidence available describes the product and its data coverage rather than a detailed corporate timeline. The platform has developed a tiered access model. An open-access GUI tier allows users to search by more than 15 criteria, use analysis tools and interactive plots, and view distinct phases and prototypes, drawing on about 50,000 datasheets from about 20,000 articles, with GUI access representing less than 5% of the full dataset. Logged-in users can access open data through the API for free. A paid GUI full-access tier expands coverage to about 3 million datasheets from 400,000 articles and adds detailed visualizations, detailed data display and datasheets, export in more than five formats, high-quality redrawn phase diagrams, and full references and DOIs, priced at €1,900 yearly per account. The API full-access product is offered as software as a service with machine-readable data, regular API and data updates, documentation, support and tutorials, Optimade standard support, and access to the MPDS materials ontology, including GUI full access, starting at €9,500 yearly for academia. An Enterprise tier adds unlimited GUI and API full-access accounts, early access to new data, integration into third-party products, OAuth and LDAP integration, managed cloud or local installation, and dedicated R&D as a service. The company states that its data is peer-reviewed and sourced from journals, supported by more than 1,000 full-time academic manpower years of editorial work, its own ab initio calculations, and its own machine learning. This combination of editorial curation, first-principles calculation and machine learning is central to how MPDS differentiates its data offering. The platform is used by academic and industrial researchers who need structured, machine-readable materials data, phase diagrams and ontology support. Because the company is registered in Estonia and sells subscriptions worldwide through its website, its operating market is effectively global, with pricing differentiated between general and academic users.
