Pricing
Per-seat pricing asks how many people you have. That is the wrong question for a pre-sales tool. The right question is what a single wrong module costs you once it is on site — and the answer is always larger than a subscription.
SystemMatch is not taking payment yet. These are the launch prices. Integrators in the current testing group are not charged, and will keep their trial terms through launch. The plan you are reading is what you would move onto afterwards.
Plans
Monthly, cancel any time. Pay annually and you get two months free. Items marked Planned are on the build list and not live yet — they are shown so you can price the decision honestly rather than discover the gap later.
One estimator, or a small installer who wants the compatibility check behind every quotation.
A sales or estimating team quoting steadily, where more than one person is producing specifications.
A national integrator with several branches, a procurement process, and an existing in-house sales tool to measure this against.

How to judge the number
Do not compare SystemMatch to another subscription. Compare it to one specific event you can probably name from the last twelve months: the job where the wrong part was specified, and somebody had to unpick it.
You know your own figures better than we do, so put your own numbers in the three boxes below. Most integrators find that a single caught error covers a year of Solo, and that the argument for Team is that it covers the whole desk rather than one person.
Rarely the price of the part. The cost sits in the returns process, the second delivery, and an engineer's day written off.
The customer sees the slip. On a framework or a repeat client, that is the expensive half — it is priced into the next tender.
Ex VAT, or £790 paid annually. Set that against the event above and the decision usually makes itself.
SystemMatch cannot promise it will catch your next error — it can only catch what is in the signed-off rules list, and that list is finite and growing. The right way to test the claim is to run a brief you have already quoted and see whether it flags what actually went wrong. That takes ten minutes and it beats any figure on this page.
No small print games
Go over your allowance and nothing breaks and nothing auto-charges — you are told, and you can move up a plan or wait for the reset. We would rather have the conversation than send a surprise invoice.
Getting paid, getting invoiced
Two methods, chosen for what UK integrators actually use. Large firms do not pay by card, and pretending otherwise stalls a deal at the finance desk.
Visa, Mastercard and Amex, monthly or annually, on a card you manage yourself. Change plan, update the card, or cancel without emailing anybody. VAT receipts issue automatically.
Handled by Stripe — we never see or store your card details.
Stripe UK cards: 1.5% + 20p per transactionFor annual agreements and anywhere a purchase order is required. We invoice against your PO on your terms, and collect by Direct Debit or bank transfer.
Direct Debit handled by GoCardless, which is what most UK finance departments already expect.
GoCardless UK: 1% + 20p, capped at £4If your procurement process requires a PO, we will not begin work or start a subscription until the PO is issued. That protects both sides: an invoice raised against a PO gets paid, and one raised without it comes back and starts the clock again.
Questions
No. All prices are shown excluding VAT. UK customers are charged VAT at the prevailing rate. VAT-registered businesses elsewhere in the EU are invoiced without UK VAT and account for it themselves under the reverse charge. Customers outside the UK and EU are invoiced without UK VAT.

The SystemMatch server stores a count of the reports and downloads made against your access code. It does not write your brief, your design or your customer's details to disk.
To generate a design, the text of your brief is sent to the AI provider that produces it, and the sourced catalogue plus human-verified compatibility rules are applied on our side. The report keeps product verification status visible. If your procurement process needs the data-processing detail in writing before sign-off, ask and we will provide it — this is a fair question and it should be answered on paper, not in a marketing page.
Practical advice either way: brief the site, not the client. The tool needs floors, doors, areas and existing kit. It does not need names.
On Enterprise, that is part of the onboarding — we sit down with your estimating team, work through the errors that have actually cost your firm money, and write them up as rules that only your account can see. On Team it is a planned self-service feature.
This is usually the point at which the tool stops being software and becomes a record of your firm's own hard-won knowledge. It is also, frankly, why the Team price is what it is.
Nothing — you already have them. Every proposal is downloaded as a PDF and an Excel file that lives on your own systems. There is no vault to be locked out of, and nothing to export in a hurry.
Yes — two months free, so Solo is £790 and Team is £2,990 a year instead of £948 and £3,588. Enterprise is annual by default. Annual customers are invoiced and can pay by Direct Debit or bank transfer rather than card.
It is a conversation worth having, and it is a different conversation from the one on this page. An exclusive licence or an outright sale removes the product from every one of your competitors, and that exclusivity — not the code — is what is actually being priced.
If that is the direction you are thinking in, come with a sense of what removing this from your market is worth to you, and we will talk properly.
Most in-house tools are very good at the things SystemMatch deliberately does not do — pricing, margin, approvals, CRM. They are usually weakest at the one thing SystemMatch is built for: catching that a specified combination will not physically work before the order goes out.
The realistic outcome is not replacement. It is that a brief goes through SystemMatch first, and the schedule that comes out is the one your existing system prices.
You can run one real brief with the self-service free trial. Private testers also receive an individual access code and report allowance while SystemMatch is in testing.
