Most customers pay between $1,500 and $3,000 per month (USD) for the platform, plus a one-off setup fee to build your model. Where you land depends on the size of your business, the complexity of your operating model, and the compute your model requires.
To put the range in context: a distributor carrying around 3,000 products on $30M in revenue sits in the middle of it. It is priced to the complexity of your operating model and the compute it requires, not per seat or per head.
Set against what it returns, the cost is small. Repricing a single loss-making customer or retiring one unprofitable product line usually covers a year of it. At Snell, the first model found $1.335M of negative contribution.
Why we don't publish fixed tiers
A profitability model doesn't fit an off-the-shelf tier. Two companies of the same size can have very different operating model complexity, very different amounts of data to integrate, and very different uses for the output. Fixed tiers either overcharge the simple cases or under-resource the complex ones.
Instead, we'll spend the call understanding your business, then send a proposal priced to it. No long quotation process.
How billing works
A one-off setup fee to build your model on your own data, then a monthly platform fee. Cancel at any time in the first three months. After that, the plan runs on an annual commitment. The setup ends with quantified improvement opportunities, each with a financial target, presented to the person who owns the budget inside those three months, so you decide with the result in hand.
