Pricing

pitching is always free

You only pay when the show goes into production.

Every budgeting tool is free through the pitch. Build the budget and win the work without paying a thing — then expense Piper as a line item in the show, never overhead.

not sure which to pick?

Choose per-budget

If you run occasional projects and want Piper covered by each event budget. You pay once per project, sized to the budget — a small, proportional line item inside the show.

Freelancers · one-off projects · small shops

Choose subscription

If your team manages multiple live budgets at once and wants a predictable monthly cost. Priced on concurrent live budgets, never per seat — add your whole team and your clients.

Agencies · multi-project teams

this is phase one

Today's pricing covers budgeting workflows — the full toolset for building, versioning, and sharing event budgets.

As invoicing, payments, and finance operations arrive, they'll come as higher-value tiers — Budget, Finance, and Enterprise — not blanket price hikes. Early customers keep their footing as Piper grows.

common questions

when do I start paying?

Never during the pitch. Smart Start, Drop Zone, versioning, and every other budgeting tool are free through the pitch process and client approval. Payment starts only when the show moves into production.

how does per-budget pricing work?

You pay once per project, priced by that budget's total size: $149 under $50K, $399 for $50K–$500K, and $999 for $500K and up. Expense it straight into the show.

how does the subscription work?

A flat monthly cost based on how many live budgets you're running at once: $299 for 1–2, $999 for 3–10, and $2,499 for 11 or more. Not per seat.

why price on budgets, not seats?

Seat-based pricing punishes collaboration and invites password-sharing. Pricing on active workload keeps cost aligned to the value you're getting. Add your team and your clients freely.

what's included in each plan?

Everything in phase one: full budget building, AI budget review, version control, client portal, and PDF & Excel exports. No feature gating and no restrictions.

will prices go up later?

Today's pricing covers budgeting. New finance features — invoicing, payments, approvals — will arrive as higher-value tiers rather than across-the-board increases.

Budget like you mean it. Get back to producing.

Pick the model that fits how you work — and start budgeting better.
