Pricing
Every price on this page is a starting price for the MVP: the first working version of a tool on one agreed process, before any major change. Scope changes are quoted separately, in writing, before work starts. Prices exclude 5% VAT and the Microsoft licences you already pay for.
01 · The four tools
Each price covers the process work, the build in your Microsoft 365, training, documentation and handover for the MVP. Pick a subscription or buy the tool outright.
Requests and approvals, gate by gate.
The MVP: one request type (for example a price change) with its gates, owners, evidence and clocks, and a hand-off to your ERP agreed in your scope.
One promotions plan: lines, mechanics, supplier funding and margin.
The MVP: one season plan with funding and margin checks and one approval route.
One gated record per product, from brief to shelf.
The MVP: one product category from brief to shelf, with its gates and a clean record for your ERP or PLM.
Enquiries, consent and follow-ups in one place.
The MVP: one enquiry board with consent recorded and follow-ups on a clock you set.
02 · studio, the creative service
studio is a service, not software, so it is priced by project and by month. studioCRM is the software that sits beside it.
Positioning, identity, website or packaging artwork, one agreed brief.
Ongoing updates to your site and campaign material.
03 · The bundle
The three tools share one process register, one set of owners and one record trail, so building them together costs less. The saving is passed on.

g8tes keeps the IP. Updates, Microsoft 365 change tracking and support are included. 12-month minimum term. The licence ends when payments stop. Your data and configuration are always yours.
You own the delivered tool for life. The price includes the build, training, handover and a warranty. Support after the warranty is optional and quoted separately. Your data and configuration are always yours.
04 · SME package
The same tools for small and medium businesses, with set limits and a lower price.
05 · Subscribe or buy
A monthly or annual fee. It includes the tool, updates, Microsoft 365 change tracking and support. g8tes keeps the product IP and licenses it to you while you subscribe. You tailor the workflow, not the core product. Your data and configuration are yours.
A one-off fee for lifetime ownership of the tool delivered to you: your configuration, your workflow and its documentation, with a perpetual licence to the g8tes core it runs on. Change it, extend it and keep using it without us. Support after the warranty is optional and separate. Your data and configuration are yours.
Trial, pilot, subscription, handover and outright purchase are defined in our Terms of use. A pilot on real work runs under a short statement of work with success criteria, named users, data terms, dates and a conversion decision.
06 · Why these prices
We don't just build a software layer. We write your process down first, in a process register and a RACI matrix, fix the gaps on paper, then build the layer that runs it. ISO-aligned by design: aligned, not certified.
The code underneath is a repeatable product, already built, tested and documented. You pay to tailor it to your process, not to build it from scratch.
Hours no longer spent chasing, supplier funding found before the promotion runs, approvals that take days instead of weeks. We work it out with your own figures, and state the assumptions.
Starting prices are set to sit within a manager's usual approval limit wherever we can, so a first tool rarely needs a full tender. Where your rules call for one, we respond in full.
One process, one conversation, one honest answer. We reply within 48 hours.
