Pricing

Pricing that grows with you

No upfront implementation fee. Subscription, revenue-share, or financed-implementation — pick the commercial model that matches how your business actually grows. Software stops being a CapEx shock and becomes a shared-upside partnership.

Three principles, non-negotiable

Everything below flows from these. If a commercial ask breaks one, we say so.

No upfront implementation

We don't invoice six figures on day one. Implementation is built into the commercial model — you start paying when you start getting value, not before.

Grow-with-you pricing

Pricing is indexed to the capacity you actually use — containers moved, trades captured, declarations filed, or a small share of trading revenue. When you grow, we grow with you. When you don't, we don't punish you.

Modular

Pick the product you need today. Add the other four when you're ready. One data model, one login, no re-implementation when you layer the next module on.

Three commercial models

Pick the one that maps to how you budget and scale.

Subscription

Transparent monthly, per-product

Flat monthly SaaS pricing on the smaller products where the scope is clean. Start immediately, cancel with notice, no professional-services minimum.

customs-compliance.aiFrom £14 / month
tradePhlo (self-service)From £200 / month
tradePhlo (hybrid / managed)Custom
Best for SMEs and teams adopting a single Phlo product.

Revenue share

Priced as a small share of your trading revenue

For strategic customers running opsPhlo or finPhlo across the business, we price the platform as a small percentage of your trading revenue. You pay more when you make more, less when you don't — and software stops being a cost that breaks in a bad year.

Best for mid-market and enterprise commodity traders replacing a legacy CTRM / ERP.

Financed implementation

Spread the build across a multi-year agreement

If you want fixed subscription pricing but can't stomach a large day-one implementation fee, we finance the implementation inside the commercial term. You start on a lower spread, step up at agreed milestones, and own the outcome at the end.

Best for customers with CapEx constraints who still want a classic SaaS contract.

Pricing questions, answered

Why isn't there a public price list for opsPhlo and finPhlo?
Because they scale with your business. A coffee trader moving 4,000 containers a year and a metals trader running a £500M book need different capacity — and would get a different price. A flat number on the website either overcharges the small customer or undercharges the large one. Talk to us and we'll size the spread against your volumes and give you a written proposal.
How does revenue share actually work?
We agree a percentage of your trading revenue that covers platform + support + ongoing enhancements over the term. The percentage steps with volume bands so you're not penalised as you scale. Implementation is absorbed inside the agreement — no day-one cheque. We've used this model with existing enterprise customers and are happy to share references under NDA.
What happens at renewal?
You keep what you're already paying unless your volumes have changed materially. We index annually to a disclosed benchmark (typically UK CPI) rather than opaque 8–10% uplifts that dominate enterprise SaaS. If you want to renegotiate scope — dropping modules, adding others — that's a one-hour conversation, not a rebid.
Can I see a contract before we talk price?
Yes. Send us your standard procurement questionnaire or a redlined SaaS agreement and we'll turn it around within a week. Our UK terms are designed to sit alongside ISO 27001 and standard enterprise data-protection clauses.
Is there a free tier?
customs-compliance.ai has a free tier for basic duty lookups. tradePhlo, opsPhlo, and finPhlo don't — the value only shows up with real data loaded in, and that's a proper engagement. We offer a 30-minute demo with your data in front of you instead.
