Your slab is set from the mutual fund assets under your ARN or RIA registration, as your workspace calculates them from RTA data on the day your data goes live. It is reviewed only at renewal.

Included in every plan

  • Every feature of the platform, with modules switched on or off to suit you at no cost
  • Unlimited users from your firm at the same price
  • Onboarding, data migration and team training
  • Your own isolated workspace and access log
  • Signed Master Service Agreement, Data Processing Agreement and Client Charter
  • Support from a named person accountable for your account, within published service levels
  • Data export at any time, and certified deletion when you leave

Quoted separately

  • New development you ask for, quoted in writing and started only after you approve it
  • Built-for-you and Owned projects on your own Zoho and Google accounts, priced by scope
  • Third-party costs you choose to add, such as Zoho licences or SMS and WhatsApp credits, shown as separate lines at cost

We do not offer a free tier or a free trial. The money-back guarantee lets you test the platform on your own live data instead of a demo.

Two more ways to save on the back-office

Each applies to your first term only. A firm receives whichever of the two is greater; they do not combine.

Live demo bonus

Attend a live webinar or walkthrough and sign within 7 days: your first term runs 14 months for the price of 12. Renewals run for 12 months.

Switch offer

Moving from another back-office? Migration is free, and we credit the unexpired months of your current subscription, up to 6 months.

The terms behind the back-office price

  • 30-day money-back

    The 30 days start on the day your data is live, not the day you pay. If the platform is not right for you, ask for a refund within that period. We return the full fee with a GST credit note, return your data to you, and certify its deletion in writing. Any bonus months lapse. One refund per firm.

  • Fair Renewal Promise

    Your price changes for only two reasons. First, your firm moves to a different slab, which applies at renewal and works both ways. Second, we revise the published list price: by no more than 10% at a time, no more than once in any 12 months, with 60 days' written notice, and never mid-term.

  • Founding price lock

    Founding firms keep their founding price for 24 months from the date their data goes live, subject only to a change of slab.

  • Billing

    Annual, in advance. Your term starts on the date your data goes live, and the invoice states the service period. GST is charged at the applicable rate. Invoices are issued by 25 Carat Ventures. Your firm may deduct TDS where the law requires; we track your certificates.

  • Leaving

    There is no exit fee and no notice-period penalty. Export everything in standard formats, and we certify deletion in writing.

Questions about pricing

Why do you publish prices when other vendors quote privately?

Because every firm of the same size should pay the same. A published price also lets you budget for renewal before anyone calls you.

Why is there no setup fee on the back-office?

Onboarding is part of the job of getting your data live, and the money-back period only starts once it is. Charging for it separately would make the guarantee less meaningful.

Free back-office options exist. Why pay?

Running a back-office has real costs. If you are not paying for it, someone else is, and it is fair to ask what they get in return. We charge a small published fee and sign that your data and your investors stay yours. A useful test for any provider, free or paid: ask them to sign a Data Processing Agreement and a non-solicitation undertaking.

What happens if my AUM changes mid-year?

Nothing changes until renewal. At renewal, your price moves to the slab that matches your AUM on that date, up or down. Market movements alone never change your price mid-term.

Why price by AUM and not by number of users or features?

AUM is a figure every firm already knows, and the platform calculates it from your own RTA data, so there is nothing to declare or dispute. You can add your whole team, and switch on every feature, without changing your price.

Can I start on the founding price and later move to Built-for-you or Owned?

Yes. We set out the price, support and responsibilities of each option in writing before you switch, and your data moves with you.

Why does the AI Content Desk have a set-up fee?

Your profile conversation and Sheet take real work before the first draft is written. The fee is refunded if you take the pilot refund, and waived if you use our back-office platform.
