Platform Pricing · September 2026
Seven working systems for motor groups, regulated practices, training providers and advisers — priced for South Africa, the United States, the euro area and the United Kingdom. Every tier, rate and add-on is on this page. No quote form between you and the number.
Dealer sites, learners, representatives, advisers or exams — never a flat fee that punishes a small team or a headcount audit that punishes a growing one.
Published rates hold for the contract term. Discounts are rules, not negotiations: longer term, more products, lower rate.
All seven run as live sandboxes at costusworx.co.za/demo — the real systems, signed in by role. No trial signup.
Dealer network operations
Sales, stock, trade pool, rebates and OEM oversight for a whole dealer network in one branded environment — replacing the spreadsheet pack that arrives three days after the month closes.
Motor groups from a single rooftop to a 100-site network, and OEMs who want governed visibility across a franchised dealer body.
| Tier | Dealer sites | Base / month | Per dealer / month | Worked example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 – 10 | R 2,500 | R 850 | 5 sites — R 6,750 |
| GrowthMost groups | 11 – 30 | R 4,500 | R 700 | 20 sites — R 18,500 |
| Enterprise | 31+ | from R 8,500 | from R 600 | 60 sites — R 44,500 |
| Network size | Per dealer / month | OEM dashboard |
|---|---|---|
| Under 20 dealers | R 700 | Optional add-on, R 3,500 / month |
| 20 – 50 dealers | R 580 | Included in the rate |
| Over 50 dealers | R 450 | Included, plus a dedicated success manager |
Tenant setup, branding, data import and training. Growth adds migration and 30-day hypercare; Enterprise adds a project manager and integration scoping.
The test we hold ourselves to: DealerPulse pays for itself if it saves each dealer 1.5 hours a week. Benchmarking, stock analytics and OEM reporting are what you get beyond that.
Training & certification
A mobile-first learning platform for organisations that have to prove their people were trained — with certificates that carry a verifiable number and a completion record an auditor can read.
Employers running induction, compliance and skills training: dealer networks, franchise groups, contractors with site-access requirements, and training providers selling courses onward.
| Tier | Active learners | Base / month | Per learner / month | Worked example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | Up to 50 | R 1,200 | R 28 | 40 learners — R 2,320 |
| BusinessMost used | 51 – 250 | R 2,500 | R 22 | 150 learners — R 5,800 |
| Enterprise | 251+ | from R 4,500 | from R 16 | 600 learners — R 14,100 |
Proctoring is included from the Business tier upward.
Tenant setup, branding, learner import from your staff register or a CSV, role-to-course mapping, and administrator training.
What it replaces: the training spreadsheet, the folder of scanned certificates, and the week someone spends rebuilding both before an audit.
Compliance management
One platform, any regulated profession. Phase 1 covers South African insurance under the FSCA's Fit & Proper requirements — every representative's deadlines tracked from their DOFA, with a competence register you can hand to the regulator.
FSPs and their Key Individuals — insurance brokerages, and the F&I desks in motor dealer groups where every consultant is a registered representative.
Outside South Africa, CompliPath needs a regulatory vertical for the local regime — FCA in the UK, SEC/FINRA in the US, IDD/MiFID II in the EU. Those are roadmap. The rates below are indicative, for planning, and are not sellable as available today.
| Tier | Representatives | Base / month | Per rep / month | Worked example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Practice | 1 – 10 | R 950 | R 145 | 6 reps — R 1,820 |
| GroupDealer groups | 11 – 50 | R 1,950 | R 115 | 30 reps — R 5,400 |
| Network | 51+ | from R 3,500 | from R 90 | 80 reps — R 10,700 |
Only South African insurance (FAIS / BN194) is available today. Every other vertical is a planned phase.
FSP setup, representative and KI records, DOFA capture, migration of the current cycle's CPD history, and role training.
Where the money actually goes today: a Key Individual assembling the competence register by hand, every cycle, from certificates in an inbox. CompliPath is priced below what that costs in their time alone.
Financial advice — South Africa
Answer the one question a client actually asks: if I retire on this, how likely is it to last? A thousand simulated retirements drawn from real South African market history, with SARS tax and Regulation 28 applied inside every run.
South African financial advisers and planning practices who currently run retirement sustainability off a spreadsheet with a single growth assumption.
This edition is built on SARS tax tables, Regulation 28 draw limits and South African market history, so it is sold in Rand only. UK advisers want Retire UK. US and EU editions are roadmap; the foreign figures shown are indicative planning numbers, not live prices.
| Plan | Per month | Simulation paths | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adviser | R 495 | 500 | One adviser, unlimited clients, PDF and CSV record-of-advice export |
| PracticeMost practices | R 1,250 | 1,000 | Up to 5 advisers, strategy comparator, branded client reports |
| Enterprise | R 2,950 | Unlimited | Unlimited advisers, white-label PDF, bulk client import, priority support |
No onboarding fee. Annual prepayment saves 15%.
Financial advice — United Kingdom
The same engine, rebuilt for the UK market: 25 years of FTSE All-Share, gilt, SONIA and ONS CPI history, HMRC Income Tax computed inside every run, and the full wrapper set from SIPP to State Pension.
FCA-authorised advisers and planning firms replacing an Excel drawdown model with an auditable, UK GDPR-compliant workflow.
Retire UK is billed in Pounds by Stripe. Figures in other currencies are conversions at the mid-market rate for reference only — your card is charged in GBP.
| Plan | Per month | Simulation runs | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | £ 35 · R 763 | 500 | Core simulation, PDF reports, fund search by ISIN or SEDOL |
| ProfessionalMost firms | £ 65 · R 1,417 | 1,000 | Everything in Starter, plus the strategy comparator and CSV export |
| Enterprise | £ 130 · R 2,834 | Unlimited | Everything in Professional, plus white-label PDF, bulk import and priority support |
Billing handled by Stripe with UK Strong Customer Authentication.
Assessment integrity
An online exam whose certificate you can stand behind. Every session is watched for the behaviour that undermines a fair result, recorded as timestamped evidence, and handed to a reviewer with a risk rating beside the score.
Anyone whose certificate has to mean something — accreditation bodies, training providers, colleges, and OEM or compliance functions certifying a dealer network.
| Plan | Per month | Exams included | Additional exams | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay as you go | — | — | R 185 each | Occasional assessment. Minimum purchase 25 exams. |
| ProfessionalTraining providers | R 1,450 | 100 | R 125 | A regular intake with a recurring exam calendar |
| Institution | R 3,900 | 500 | R 85 | Colleges and accreditation bodies at volume |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | — | Network-wide or national certification programmes |
An exam counts once it is submitted and marked. Started-and-abandoned attempts are not billed.
Automated proctoring tools are commonly quoted at $3 – $6 per exam, hybrid record-and-review around $6.50, and live human proctoring $12 – $13. CentreForge sits at the automated end on price while giving you the whole exam platform — question bank, marking, certificates and the reviewer console — not an add-on that watches someone else's quiz.
Closed travel network
A members-only network where every property has been independently graded before it can be listed, and a vetted agent can send a matched, secure proposal in under ten minutes. Operators pay. Agents do not.
African lodges, hotels and safari operators who want qualified group business, and the vetted travel agents — anywhere in the world — who place it.
Properties are African and are invoiced in Rand by default; operators billing through an offshore entity can be invoiced in the currency shown. Agent membership is charged in the agent's own currency.
| Portfolio | Per property / year | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | R 12,000 | Listing opens once an independent grade is on file |
| 2 – 5 propertiesMost operators | R 9,500 | Each property graded on its own merits |
| 6 or more | R 7,500 | Portfolio agreement, single annual invoice |
The booking fee applies to confirmed bookings only. Agents never pay a commission to the platform.
The moment an agent believes a grade was influenced by money, the network is worth nothing to them — and then it is worth nothing to operators either. Grading independence is written into the platform's founding documents, which is also why the commercial model keeps the two apart.
Commercial terms
Two models, depending on whether you are rolling a platform out across an organisation or subscribing as a practice.
| Model | Products | Standard term | Month to month | Longer term |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contracted platform | DealerPulse, Learn, CompliPath, Hey Mandy | 12 months, invoiced monthly in arrears | +20% | 24 months — −10% |
| Subscription app | Retire ZA, CentreForge | None — cancel any time | Published rate | Annual prepay — −15% |
| Subscription app | Retire UK | None — cancel any time | Published rate | — |
Applied to recurring platform fees across the whole account, on one agreement and one invoice.
A free IT audit is the usual starting point — no cost, no obligation.
