Pricing
Built to be affordable to the teams that need it most.
One Desk subscription covers sourced, paragraph-cited answers; add a donor compliance layer for each donor you report to. IPSAS Drills trains the reflexes daily. Self-serve plans for individuals and small teams; organisation plans for ministries and audit firms; donor-funded and regional pricing for governments supported by international donors. All prices in USD; reduced pricing available for organisations in low- and lower-middle-income countries — see below.

Donor-funded deployment? If your IPSAS adoption is being supported by World Bank, EU, DFAT, USAID, MCC, FCDO, or another donor, ask about our donor-funded pricing format — designed to drop directly into a project budget line.
Donor compliance
Prove your spending follows each donor's rules.
Add a donor compliance layer to Desk. Every answer is also checked against that donor's grant procedures — eligibility, procurement, and reporting — with the gaps and required actions called out separately. Buy one donor, two, or all of them.
Desk + 1 donor
For an NGO or project office that reports to a single donor and needs to show grant compliance.

- 14-day free trial — no card to look around
Desk + 2 donors
For organisations that answer to two funders' requirements side by side.
- Everything in Desk Practitioner
- Compliance review against any two donors' grant rules
- Per-answer findings: what's satisfied, the gaps, and actions to take
- 14-day free trial — no card to look around
Desk + all donors
For ministries and multi-donor programmes — current and future donor layers included.
- Everything in Desk Practitioner
- Compliance review against every donor layer we publish
- New donor layers added automatically, at no extra cost
- 14-day free trial — no card to look around
Each option includes a Desk Practitioner subscription; the donor layer runs on top of Desk answers. Prices are shown in USD; at checkout you can pay in US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling.
Grant compliance only
No IPSAS to apply? Check grant compliance on its own.
For a small NGO or project office that doesn't report under IPSAS but still has to satisfy a donor's grant rules. Ask your question and get a grant-compliance review — eligibility, procurement, and reporting — with the gaps and the actions to take. No IPSAS treatment, no Desk subscription.
1 donor
For an NGO that reports to a single donor and doesn't apply IPSAS.
- Grant-compliance review against one donor's rules

- New donor layers added automatically, at no extra cost
- No IPSAS treatment and no Desk subscription

These plans cover donor grant compliance only — there is no IPSAS accounting answer. Need both? See Desk + donor above. Prices are shown in USD; at checkout you can pay in US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling.
Regional & donor
Regional and donor-funded pricing
We charge full list price to organisations in high-income countries. For organisations based in countries on the OECD DAC list of ODA recipients — particularly Least Developed Countries and Lower-Middle-Income Countries — we offer reduced pricing of 30 to 50 percent off list, depending on country tier and organisation type.
For governments adopting IPSAS with the support of an international donor (World Bank, EU, DFAT, USAID, MCC, FCDO, and others), we provide pricing in a format designed to drop directly into a project budget line. We will provide a sample budget justification on request.
To request regional or donor-funded pricing, send us a brief on your organisation, country, and intended use, and we'll come back to you within two working days.
FAQ
Common questions about pricing
- Do prices include VAT or local taxes?
- Prices are exclusive of any local sales tax or VAT. For invoiced organisational plans, applicable taxes will be shown on the invoice.
- Can we pay by invoice rather than card?
- Yes — Team, Organisation, Firm, and Customised plans can all be invoiced annually in advance. Individual and Practitioner plans are card-only.
- Can we cancel any time?
- Yes. Self-serve monthly plans cancel at the next billing date. Annual plans run to the end of the period; we don't pro-rate refunds, but we don't auto-renew without a reminder.
- What counts as one “query” on the Desk?
- One query is one question with one answer, including any follow-up clarification within the same conversation. Practitioner plans have a generous 100/month allowance; in normal use, very few practitioners reach the cap. On Customised plans, the allowance can be set to match more extensive compliance review.
- Is there a free version?
- Both products offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card required to start. On the Desk, the trial includes every donor layer; after the trial you keep the layers you subscribe to. We don't offer a permanently free tier — keeping the products focused, accurate, and well-maintained requires real revenue.
- Where is Bench pricing?
- Bench, the competency-evaluation service, has separate sign-in and billing and will be priced at launch. It doesn't appear in the plans above.
Refund policy
We don't offer refunds. The 14-day trial is the refund mechanism — you can cancel anytime during the trial without being charged. After the trial, you can cancel anytime via the Customer Portal and your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for.
