Pay-to-Package
Per-application pricing.
No per-seat tax.
Most application services bill per device or per seat - a model designed for infrastructure providers, not application owners. Readiness Assurance is priced per application under management, aligned to the actual unit of work, with no penalty for shrinking the estate.
One subscription line per application.
Each application in the managed estate is a subscription line. The service covers every aspect of its lifecycle: discovery, repackaging, testing, automated QA, publishing, and continuous evergreen management.
Major version upgrade = new line
Going from version 12 to version 13 of a packaged application opens a new subscription line for the new version. The previous line stays under management until it is decommissioned.
Minor updates = rolled up
Patches, dot-releases, and configuration adjustments roll up under the existing line. The package is re-tested, re-signed, and republished with no commercial change.
Flex candidates = updates, always
Browsers, runtimes, and common end-user tools - Chrome, Edge, Adobe Reader, Java - move so quickly that we treat them as updates even on major bumps. No new line, no commercial drag.
Decommission = ends the line
When an application leaves the managed estate, the line ends with the next renewal cycle. No exit fee, no minimum term beyond the current annual commitment.
Pricing should match how the work is actually delivered.
The package is the deliverable
Packaging is per-application work. Pricing per application aligns the commercial model to what is actually being produced and maintained.
No penalty for rationalisation
Per-seat models punish shrinking estates with the same bill. Per-application pricing rewards rationalisation - fewer applications, lower cost, immediately.
Maps cleanly to managed-service contracts
tier-1 service partners can pass per-application pricing through to client contracts without restructuring their commercial model. Margin lives where delivery lives.
Pricing on request
We do not publish per-application rates.
Rates are agreed with delivery partners in the context of an engagement. Volume bands, partner-tier discounts, and portfolio shape all factor in. If you are evaluating Readiness through a service partner, your account team can provide commercial detail.
