How much does security management software cost?

Pricing in this sector is usually hidden behind a form. That is a choice, and it has a cost for the buyer: you cannot shortlist without booking calls, and you cannot compare without doing that several times.

The three common models

• –Per officer, per month — predictable until you take on a large contract, then it scales with headcount whether or not you are using more of the system
• –Per site — punishes exactly the growth you want, and gets awkward with short-term contracts
• –Flat licence — one price for the organisation, regardless of how many officers or sites you run

Per-seat pricing has a specific side effect worth naming: it discourages giving access to the people who would benefit most. If every supervisor costs more, supervisors do not get accounts, and the records get entered second-hand by someone in an office.

What to check beyond the headline

• –Is onboarding included, or quoted separately once you have committed?
• –Is support included for the life of the licence, or tiered?
• –Does the price change when you add a site mid-term?
• –What does it cost to get your data out?

How we price

SecureOptix is one flat licence per company, billed annually, with everything included — all modules, unlimited officers, unlimited sites. We publish the number rather than requiring a call to get it. Our specification page sets out what is and is not included, including where we do not yet match a larger platform.
