Pricing
What does Ferrite enterprise software cost?
For a long time, building your own software felt out of reach on cost, which is what pushed so many teams toward buying the closest product and shaping the business around it. Pricing is where that changes and the build side of the decision becomes real. You pay once to build the application, you own what we make for you, and the figure follows the work involved rather than the number of people who will use it. Infrastructure stays visible at cost, and Ferrite Care, our ongoing coverage once the software is live, is entirely optional.
| What you pay for | How it is priced |
|---|---|
| Focused workflow buildA single internal workflow with a handful of roles, a modest amount of data, and only a few systems to connect to. | $15,000 to $40,000, one-time |
| Connected operational buildSeveral roles and connected systems working together, with operational reporting, outside users, or controls that need real attention. | $40,000 to $95,000, one-time |
| Business-critical buildComplex operations that run on sensitive data and many integrations, where availability matters and the business risk is real. | $90,000 to $180,000+, one-time |
| InfrastructureThe cloud, databases, storage, and networking your application runs on, in your own environment. We can host and operate it for you instead if you would rather we did. | Billed at cost, itemized. No markup. |
| Regulatory engineeringControl mapping, evidence, and framework integration for the applications that call for it, scoped to what each one actually needs. HIPAA support is planned. | Scoped per application at Blueprint |
| Ferrite CareOptional ongoing coverage: monitoring and the maintenance we take care of for you, along with an included Spark, our name for a single governed change to a live application. It comes in two tiers, one for a small business and one standard. | From $500 / month, per application |
| ChangeA Spark is a single, governed change to your application, with an outcome, a scope, and a delivery date all agreed up front before we begin. | Fixed-price per Spark; one Care Spark included monthly |
Starting ranges are planning guidance, not quotes. The Application Blueprint sets the final scope and fixed Build price. Run the estimate for your application.
Ferrite Care
Ongoing coverage, sized to the business.
Care is a service you can start and stop, not a fee that keeps your software switched on. If you end Ferrite Care, the application keeps running and your license stays active, because the two are not tied together. There are two tiers, one sized for a small business running a single application and one for a larger operation running several, and both are optional and priced per application.
Care Essentials
Small businessFrom $500
per month, per application
Keeps a single application healthy and up to date without asking you to commit to a full operations plan. It is built for a lean team running one application we have delivered.
- Application and Core monitoring
- Core runtime and security updates
- Break/fix support
- Backup and recovery verification
- One Care Spark each quarter
The Care Spark included each quarter covers one small improvement to something the application already does, or to one of its integrations. Anything larger gets its own fixed-price scope.
Ferrite Care
StandardFrom $1,500
per month, per application
Keeps the full operating foundation current and keeps your Smiths, the Ferrite engineers assigned to your application, close at hand and familiar with how it runs.
- Everything in Care Essentials
- Compatibility maintenance for the integrations in the agreement
- Authentication, API-version, and connector fixes in scope
- Release management
- One Care Spark each month
The Care Spark included each month covers one small improvement, and it resets at the start of the next month. New integrations, migrations, and redesigns are scoped separately.
Applications that need round-the-clock response or a tighter recovery commitment can move up to mission-critical coverage on a custom SLA. Scope a coverage agreement.
Ownership and license
Care pays for the work of operating and maintaining your software, and it is separate from your right to use it. If you end Care, the application and its licensed runtime keep running at the versions you have deployed, and the platform license stays active for as long as you operate at least one application we have built. Later updates to Core, the licensed layer that carries your integrations, along with security and compatibility releases, reach you through Care or through an approved Spark. The source code behind the Ferrite platform stays closed, and we do not hand it over or make it viewable.
