Launch pricing

Start with the accountability lane that proves value fastest.

CustodyForge starts with one clear paid pilot price so buyers know exactly what the first deployment costs before expansion is quoted.

Fixed pilot price

$1,500 per month

CustodyForge 60-Day Launch Pilot / 60 days

No separate setup fee during the launch pilot window.

Included scope

One company workspace, up to 50 pilot users, up to 5 locations or crews, and up to 2,500 tracked items/components.

  • Includes guided workspace setup, role mapping, item/category import support, custody document configuration, and pilot success review.
  • Best first scope is one location, one crew, one kit family, one serialized equipment pool, or one fulfillment lane.
  • Stripe checkout can start the pilot immediately; invoice or purchase order buyers can request the same pilot package by email.

Expansion, integrations, custom retention, SSO, and multi-company rollouts are quoted after the pilot proof review.

Guardrails

  • CustodyForge should not store or process raw card numbers.
  • Use Stripe Prices for recurring tiers instead of legacy plan objects.
  • Use separate Stripe Prices for one-time setup fees so subscriptions and onboarding revenue stay auditable.
  • Use webhooks to confirm subscription and invoice state before provisioning paid access.
  • Use the Stripe customer portal for subscription changes, payment-method updates, and cancellation handling.

Add live Stripe keys, price IDs, webhook secret, and billing readiness controls, then run checkout verification.
