Pricing: how paying for custom software works

You pay for a Cleanform system monthly, the way you already pay for software. It's typically less than you spend on subscriptions today*. The difference is that the payments end, and when they do, you own what you paid for.

• The payments have an end date. They don't renew. When they stop, the system is yours.
• No seat fees. We price what you need, not how many people use it.
• You never pay twice. Each subscription is cancelled the moment its replacement is live.

How renting compares with owning

Renting software is a payment that never ends and grows with your team. Owning it is a payment that ends.

How it works, step by step

1. You get a free audit. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

2. We look at what you really use. We go through every subscription you pay for, the features your team actually uses, and the features you need but don't have.

3. You get a quote and an interactive mockup. You see the price and click through a working mockup of your system before anything is built.

4. You agree to the price, the schedule and the timeline. Nothing starts until you've signed off on all three.

5. We get to work. We switch you over without breaking anything. Each old subscription is cancelled the moment its replacement is live, and when the payments end, the system is yours.

What that looked like for one sales floor

One client's sales floor paid about $4,500 a month for a per-seat dialer, a per-seat CRM, a scheduling tool and a Zap that kept them talking. Every new rep added about $560 a month before they made a dollar.

That stack became one system the business owns. It now costs about $300 a month in hosting, roughly 93% less, and each added seat costs $0. Read the full case study.

Is it worth it for you?

It depends on what you spend, not how many people you have.

• Under $1,000 a month, and the tools fit: keep what you have. Switching would cost you more time than it saves.
• A few thousand a month and climbing with every hire: this is where owning pays off. The money you already spend goes toward something you keep.
• Not sure: add up your stack in about two minutes, check it against what dialers and CRMs charge per seat, or book a free audit and we'll do it with you.

* Not guaranteed. For customers paying for multiple subscriptions, savings depend on which tools are replaced and what we build. Your quote shows the actual price before you agree to anything.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't you publish prices?

Because every build is different. A simple CRM for 100 reps shouldn't cost 100 times more than one for a single rep, and a price list would force that. We quote after a free audit of what you use and what you pay.

Will it cost less than what we pay now?

Typically, yes, and for bigger software bills it's often far less. It isn't guaranteed: the quote depends on which tools are replaced and what we build. You'll see the number before you agree to anything.

What happens when the build payments end?

You own the system outright: the code, the data and the IP. What's left is the cost of running it, mainly hosting, which is a fraction of what per-seat licenses cost.

Do we pay for both the old tools and the new system at the same time?

No. Each subscription is cancelled the moment its replacement is live, so you never pay twice for the same job.

What does it cost to add a new hire?

No seat fee. There are no per-seat licenses, so hiring is a decision about people, not about another invoice.

Who keeps it running after launch?

Whoever you want: our team, your own developer, or anyone else. The system runs in a cloud account your business owns, so you're never locked in.

Is it worth it for a small software bill?

Usually not. If your tools cost under $1,000 a month and they fit how you work, keep them. The audit will tell you honestly which side of that line you're on.
